Still, a third of the country wants him back in the oval; proving once again, the power of propaganda.
Looking at you, Fox.

They don't even know why they want him, aside from spite for anyone else.
Because he's the only Republican with a chance of winning. Which is damn pathetic.
To own the libs. That’s about the extent of it.
Last time, they literally ran "make liberals cry again" as a campaign slogan.
I'm not talking about random Trumpsters - this was spread by the Trump campaign itself.
I saw a news clip of some woman being interviewed who said he was gods messenger.
It’s disturbing but I think it’s more than a third… other than organized religion … there is no bigger cult.
I’m not trying to incite violence, suggest death by firing squad, or violate any community rules, but maybe he should be held accountable.
If this is confirmed, I don’t think the Secret Service would be able to protect him from Mossad.
Tbh, given their reputation in recent years, I wouldn’t trust the secret service to protect anyone from a serious, skilled, well-organized and -equipped, state-backed covert force. And the state we’re talking about here is considered to have arguably the most effective and ruthless covert foreign intelligence/action service in the world.
Given the last few days, I think we also shouldn't overestimate the capabilities of Israeli intelligence services.
Let me put this another way: the covert retaliation operation that I’m SURE Mossad is planning this very second is going to make the retribution they did for the 1972 Munich massacre look like a polite conversation.
I understand the thought, but the idea of another country assassinating a former US president on American soil is pretty far fetched. That would almost certainly put that country in a fighting war with the US, regardless of who's in office.
They probably won’t do anything on US soil, but if he decides to flee prosecution in the US, he’s fair game.
Didn’t stop ksa from killing Kashoggi on Turkish soil and their relationship is complicated.
Lol you’re suggesting mossad would assassinate trump? That’ll be the day.
Sounds completely on brand
"In the spring of 2016, no issue was more important to Benjamin Netanyahu than Donald Trump winning the White House."
With so much on the line, Netanyahu appears to have made a drastic decision. He would dispatch a discreet, highly trusted aide, armed with critical intelligence, to covertly “intervene” in the US election to help put his man Trump in the White House. Based on the FBI documents, the intelligence appears to have consisted of advance knowledge of Russia’s hacking of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, and it may have included confidential details from the stolen e-mails. It was likely obtained by Israeli eavesdropping operations that were targeting secret Russian communications, as well as those of WikiLeaks.
Pretty sure ol'Ben isn't too upset over the attacks. It didn't hurt him personally, and gives him a reason to escalate.
I'm tired, boss. I'm tired of the blatant corruption, and the toothless retorts. Throw them in prison if you mean it, if not what are we waiting for? Mask off this bitch and show us the truth.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump's sharing of alleged classified intelligence to Russian officials in the White House has come under scrutiny amid a large-scale attack by the Hamas Islamist military group against Israel.
In May 2017, the former president defended his actions after he was found to have discussed sensitive details about an alleged Islamic State (ISIS) plot with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the Oval Office.
On Saturday, Hamas, designated a terrorist group by the U.S. and the European Union, launched a large-scale attack against Israel, resulting in the deadliest day of violence in the Israel-Palestine conflict for decades.
Allison Gill, who tweets using the account for the Mueller, She Wrote podcast, added: "Don't forget: Trump gave Israeli intelligence to Russians in the Oval Office 6 years ago.
"As president, I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled WH meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety," Trump wrote.
Trump is due to go on trial in May 2024 accused of retaining classified documents after he left the White House in January 2021, and then obstructing the federal attempt to retrieve them from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Springs, Florida.

I love how far out of scope everyone is willing to look to find a way to blame trump.
