He may not be in office, but Donald Trump has been speaking with the powers that be about Israel’s war on Gaza—but it’s not in an effort to end the genocide.

Instead, Trump has allegedly been talking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avert a cease-fire deal, fearing that doing so could help Vice President Kamala Harris win in November, according to PBS.

“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the Prime Minister of Israel, urging him not to cut a deal right now, because it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” said PBS’s Judy Woodruff Monday night. “So, I don’t know where—who knows whether that will come about or not, but I have to think that the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what presidents do, and that’s to work on that one.”

    I’ve had this crazy theory that ever since Clinton’s second term, the presidents have been playing out in reverse order and politics:

    -Bush was the anti George H Bush

    -Obama was the anti-Reagan

    -Trump was the anti-Carter

    -Biden was the anti-Ford

    This feels like the anti-Iran contra play, anti-Carter working with Israelis to prevent hostages from being released until after the election.
