Don’t want Iran to lose if it means Trump wins. @TomFriedman of @NYTimes really wants “to see Iran defeated militarily because this regime is a terrible regime for its people and the region,” but on CNN’s @Smerconish he fretted “the problem is I really don’t want to see Bibi Netanyahu or Donald Trump politically strengthened by this war because they are too awful human beings. They are both engaged in anti-democratic projects in their own countries. They’re both alleged crooks. They are terrible, terrible people doing terrible things to America’s standing in the world and Israel’s standing in the world.”

That’s why I posted it.

I don’t expect many replies disagreeing with Friedman. Imagine supporting terrorists because you hate one man.

Maybe, but it’s not nearly as many as they would have everyone believe.

How many times have we seen MSM and TDS infected do this with Trump?

Like Rush used to say…
They always make his base stronger the harder they try to separate Trump from his supporters.

This is a reminder that Friedman gushed about Xi; said he had seen the future and it’s not in America; and he praised the Chinese authoritarian form of government and the way they could get things done. He is an idiot.

Its amazing that this psycho leftist sees how good this will play out for Trump, but some resident RINOs laughed at me when I said the GOP will run the midterms after Trump wins this.

They just won't admit it.


If the NYT had one oz of honor or journalistic integrity, they'd fire Friedman immediately.

That’s a switch for Friedman. Normally he is just wrong about everything but now playing both sides of the street he could get to 50/50, or lose 100% if Iran wins. Nah, damn he’s going to get credit for being half correct

So, he wants Iran to fail, but only if it happened under Biden or Obama. No credit for Trump. TDS much?

Because DJT or Bibi wouldn’t hesitate to tell him or his ilk to go frick themselves straight to their face. It really is that simple.

So I asked AI is there any evidence that Tom Friedman has ever met Donald Trump personally or in a professional manner?

quote:

Friedman has been a staunch critic, offering in-depth analysis of Trump's foreign policy and demeanor without personal anecdotes from meetings, including in an NPR interview.

His, and The New York Times, views are based on observing Trump's policies, public statements, and social media, rather than direct, in-person interaction.

Based on available information, there is no public record or indication that New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman has met with Donald Trump in person. Friedman has frequently noted in his commentary that he has no direct sources within the Trump administration

I noticed some of the other neocon scumbags whose life's dream was war with Iran doing similar things. Robert Kagan and Bill Kristol actually had the nerve to whine about how this conflict is not America First.
