Friends + Interlocutors,

It seems that war criminal and con man, Bibi Netanyahu, will pay yet another visit to the White House on Monday. The expansive, obnoxious Netanyahu will talk tariffs, along with planning a joint attack on Iran and exchanging views with showman Trump about the ongoing crucifixion of Gaza. 

According to Axios, “Netanyahu will be the first foreign leader to meet President Trump in person to try to negotiate a deal to remove Trump's tariffs.” Note that Netanyahu was also the first foreign leader to visit the White House after Trump’s installation. Talk about “special relationship”! Isn't this racket becoming a bit too obvious?

For self-serving political and financial reasons, Donald Trump has allowed himself to become what amounts to an Israeli agent. Trump may be cynical but he is not stupid. He has played the Zionist card for all it is worth, like Papa Joe Biden before him. That makes sense. It is Washington’s biggest scandal. 

As for tariffs, my guess is that when the smoke clears and the hysteria subsides, this dramatic démarche will boil down to a starting point for negotiations. These announced unilateral tariffs will not actually go into effect. The tariffs on China would destroy Apple, Amazon and Walmart for starters…
