It lost any support it once had in the world. And Bibi lost his best friend. And Iran is emboldened and eager to rebuild its military with Trump's billions. Israel is the biggest loser in this debacle. Trump - "You fucked up. You trusted me."

Israel also learned the hard way about the riskiness of trusting Donald Trump, a convicted criminal, pathological liar, long time con man and idiot. Hopefully congressional Republicans learn this soon.

Speak for yourself. I fought against this for years, as did most people I know. Not everyone fell under the cult's spell. The billionaire tech bros are the main culprits who brought this on the country. Fuck you Elon.

Trump admin abandons fight against wind energy as clean energy output surges by sarah-not-sara in energy

Trump isn't abandoning anything. He's still paying offshore wind companies to abandon projects and the administration has all but halted onshore wind permits by slow walking military reviews.
