 Of course I agree on that front... And that is by design. Trump is being setup as some messiah, and people will go to great lengths to support him because of that. I think it's a huge trap, but I'm unlikely to change the minds of many so I just laugh at the memes and complain on the side. 
 At least he knows the game now and that some in his own party stands in his way.  I think he will do a lot of good things but won’t make everyone happy. 
 I would much rather be wrong, but when Israel is involved, I think there's a bigger play. He shouldn't get any passes because of the alternatives presented. It's a key of the Hegelian dialect trap.
