    Kevin O Leary just on Fox biz saying both sides are crazy as hell but thinks Trump has guys like Howard Lutnick as a close advisor, and who aren’t the crazy types he had last time around.
    This Jewish billionaire seems to like Trump and believes Trump is better for the security of Israel.
    I know we have many Jewish posters here. Wondering how many think Trump will be better for Israel.

    “But the Jewish Republican has also indicated that his long-standing commitment to Israel’s security is one of the top reasons he is now so enthusiastically aligning with Trump, particularly after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks, which the former president has repeatedly claimed “would never have happened” if he had won a second term.”

    Trump is better for Netanyahu, the conservatives in Israel and their supporters here. But long term he’s not better for Israel as a whole.

    Didn't remember his name and did not check back further, but looks like he's been supporting Trump since at least 2019.

    Donald Trump dismisses relationship with $1 million donor Gordon Sondland

    Other top inaugural donors included Sheldon Adelson, the Las Vegas casino mogul, and Robert Mercer, a Republican mega-donor with longtime ties to Trump. Robert Parsons, the billionaire philanthropist and GoDaddy founder, made the list. So did Howard Lutnick, the chairman and CEO of the financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald.

    I've seen more Jewish support for Trump this year than for any GOP POTUS candy since perhaps Reagan.

    The vast majority of Israelis favor Trump. The Gaza War has turned many generally left-leaning Jews into Trump’s camp, particularly young guys, because Harris and Biden made some gaffes in their communications on the War.

    I personally don’t think Trump is better for Israel, because of the simple fact that Israel has achieved more progress in its War campaign, and has made Israel overall safer than it has been in the past 30 years, during Biden’s administration.

    This poster votes for America first, but also thinks that Harris will fully support Israel, America’s most trusted ally in the entire region, just as Biden did, just as Trump did before him.

    Like Vance in his position with Trump?

    Like Trump, who flopped from a Dem to a Pub (and also flops to say whatever his audience wants to hear)?

    Like RFK? Or Tulsi?

    Trump is more likely to let them fulfill their Kahanist fantasies without occasional balking

    What he means is “I support flip floppers as long as I agree with their agenda.”

    Glad I could help;)

    Look at what the capital of Israel is, that should answer the question.
