It has been an impressive 2 weeks on the home front indeed. But, on the international front, Trump has laid down his hand for all to see.

The first step to fix any issue entails an honest objective assessment. The world has been watching and listening for the assessment, but instead, they find that Trump's plan is to dazzle them with showmanship and BS.

A good deal is when both sides are willing to accept either position, and in regard to Trump's proposal for Gaza and the Palestinians, I would venture a guess that the Palestinians would unanimously accept trading positions with Trump, and Trump and his cohorts would unanimously decline to trade positions with the Palestinians.

That which is being lost in the noise, is that the game is played-out, where the end game is marked by disparity, and the solution is a game reset. But instead of an honest objective assessment and a viable solution, Trump and Bibi run a shell game on the citizens of the world.

"Joe Biden" has opened the door wide, and handed Trump a blank check to deal with the issues and shape a new format for life. Trump has an opportunity to become one of the greatest leaders in all of history, to usher in his vision of A Golden Age with peace throughout the world, but in 2 weeks time, it becomes obvious that he is nothing but a showman.

The situation in the ME appears to be one where both sides have been abusing each other for decades, and it has evolved to where both sides are at war with each other. Where is the honest objective assessment? It's not coming from Trump or Bibi. Putin might be willing to weigh -in with an assessment, but it doesn't appear that the West has any interest in hearing that which he has to say.

The following is some food for thought in regard to how Trump negotiates.

... and this highlights the dire need for moral leadership who will treat the citizens of the world with dignity and respect.

Attack Rapidly, Ruthlessly, Viciously, without Rest

Do the likes of Trump and Bibi really want to treat us to a shell game? Does the world have the luxury of time for showmanship?

My 2 cents is that a major objective of the meeting was to clear the ICC charges against Bibi.

They needed to set things up so that Bibi can finish the job.

Bomb the area, gas the tunnels: Israel’s unbridled war on Gaza’s underground

"The investigation also reveals how Israel has known for years that the use of bunker-buster bombs releases the lethal gas carbon monoxide as a byproduct, which can kill people inside a tunnel through asphyxiation even at a distance of hundreds of meters from the strike location."

Without an objective assessment, an interview amounts to PR and/or propaganda.

15 to 20 years ago I used to watch PBS NewsHour, as it seemed to be the only MSM that would entertain a variety of perspectives. The news evolved to where it appeared to be in conflict with other sources of information. Then one evening I happened to see Judy and Hillary embrace in what appeared to be a lip-lock. That was the kiss of death.

If there is no time for an honest objective assessment, it isn't worth wasting one's time. Most of MSM has received the kiss of death, and Fox news is at the threshold.

My take from today's news is that Fox News is PR and/or propaganda that is essentially paid for by Trump and/or his administration.

Trump has presented his solution for the Palestinians, which is "you will own nothing, and be happy", which looks to just be a different flavor of the 2030 Agenda.

Discussion is that the Slick Newsom Palisades Smart City will amount to high density housing. Does this address the issue of disparity? What are the odds that this city will look like Gaza at some point within the next 100 years?
