Intro: President Trump's obvious progress making relations in the Middle East must be considered when looking at his overall record. Unlike his predecessors, he kept a campaign promise so many have made and moved the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. This was a major symbolic gesture decried for the unrest it would create that never happened. ISIS atrocities were an all too common occurrence during the Obama Administration, they don't exist anymore due to President Trump's policy. Relations between a number of Arab countries have improved and that has resulted in many useful security agreements between Israel and Saudi Arabia and now Israel and the UAE.
This is by far the most successful Middle East policy of any administration in the last 30-years. How anyone can see it as anything else is pure nonsense and political lies.
Here to explain is David Rubin, former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, and author of the book, Trump and the Jews.
Q&A:
- President Trump has defied the odds and become a master statesman; how do you view his Middle East policy of the last four years? It's been groundbreaking. Trump has come to realize, like no other president before him, that the peace process in the Middle East can advance without the Palestinians. Only an out-of-the-box thinker like Trump could accomplish that.
- People forget that ISIS controlled a huge slice of the Middle East, bigger than the UK, and were committing the most horrible atrocities. Trump, with help from allies he recruited to the cause, has brought them to heel. Isn't this a major foreign policy win? Yes, and he did it quietly, with no fanfare, and not too many bombastic statements, which is contrary to his image of tooting his own horn, but the facts are there. He decimated ISIS.
- Even with the domestic disturbances, President Trump's ability to make the United States more respected must be a election issue in his favor. Countries are not taking advantage of the U.S., such as China, like they used to. How do you see it? Teddy Roosevelt used to say, "Speak softly and carry a big stick." Trump brings peaceful relations and speaks of withdrawing troops, but the other nations think he's crazy, and you do not mess with someone who is crazy. The truth is that he is not crazy, that he knows exactly what he's doing, but keeps them on edge.
- In breaking news, we are reading about how Palestinians are softening their stance on the UAE peace deal. What's your view on that?
- Your book, Trump and the Jews noted that the developing relations between Israel and the Persian Gulf countries would be significant. Where can our viewers get a copy?
