I’ve previously commented on the many similarities between Trump and Netanyahu. Now it appears we can add another to the list. Trump was, and is, willing to leave blue America in ashes as long as he can be the leader of the other half; Bibi, it seems, is perfectly willing to bring his country to the brink of civil war as long as he can cling to power.
In Trump’s case, the problem was rooted in his narcissism. Bibi isn’t a narcissist, so what’s his motivation? Fear of the ongoing prosecution? Has he come to believe his own propaganda about being the indispensable man? Both?
I’m guessing the answer is both.
