That is perhaps that only silver lining in this. Is one very small indication that we are not entirely Israel’s bitch.

I’ll take one granual of sugar with my scalding cup of shit.

    Not really, the formula they used to generate the percentages for each country means its not really intentional, the 10% is just countries the US import almost nothing from.

      On the other hand Russia was spared, even though according to him they “pissed him off”, probably just a reference to the tape.

      True. But the US has a tendency to make exceptions for Israel. So the fact that he stuck to his math and didn’t get Israel a special exception is a small win for US Israel relations. (aka making them more normal).

      Basically it’s exceptional that we didn’t make an exception. That’s kind of sad. But because it’s exceptional it’s worth noting.

    That’s one of the first things they will change when they walk back this stupid policy.

    AIPAC is giving orders to its puppets as we speak.

    Edit: apparently Trump is dropping Tariffs on israel when his boss, Netanyahu, visits the White House next week
