"On the face of it, things haven't changed that much, but it's apparent that significant change is now possible. In league with Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump has quieted the Iran threat for now. Trump then talked Netanyahu into stopping the firing of further missiles into Iran unnecessarily. Then Trump persuaded Netanyahu to publicly apologize to the leader of Qatar."
"Donald Trump has taken SNAP (food vouchers) and Medicaid from working families, and also fired people who work for the government. He destroyed foreign aid that supports worthwhile programs like the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria."
Donald Trump engaged Benjamin Netanyahu and helped reduce the immediate Iran threat by persuading Netanyahu to stop further missile strikes and to apologize to Qatar's leader. Domestic actions included cuts to SNAP and Medicaid and the removal of some government workers. Foreign aid reductions weakened support for programs such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. Those programs previously contributed to saving millions of lives and reducing medical costs. The diplomatic gains are presented as fragile and subject to reversal by renewed conflict.
