Trump is criticized for failing to make the country great again and for diminishing American power. Questions are raised about whether Trump acts as a “one-man sleeper cell” for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Iran war launched by Trump is described as a major factor behind Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, driving oil and gas prices higher and worsening inflation already pressured by tariffs. Trump’s claim of being 99% approved in Israel is condemned as bragging about foreign popularity while support in the United States is much lower. The criticism links the foreign-country focus to cold-hearted globalist betrayal and to a pattern beyond a single remark.
"The former Fox News host wondered if Trump is a one-man sleeper cell for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with whom the president launched the Iran war in February. Carlson has been among the harshest critics of the conflict, which he unsuccessfully lobbied Trump against. The war prompted Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz, which has sent oil and gas prices skyrocketing, adding to the existing inflationary pressures caused by the president's tariffs."
"Carlson pointed to remarks Trump made on Tuesday, where the president said, I'm at 99% [approval] in Israel. I could run for prime minister. So, maybe after I do this, I'll go to Israel and run for prime minister. I had a poll this morning. I'm 99%, so that's good. An indignant Carlson responded (8:50 to 11:00): The president of the United States bragging about his popularity in a foreign country."
"Unmentioned is the fact that he's 35% in the United States. Thirty-five percent support from Americans, the people he pledged to represent, to fight for, whose side he promised to take in every conflict, foreign and domestic. And yet, there he is, bragging about how popular he is in a foreign country, the same country that got us into the war that is, to some extent, causing his unpopularity in this country, speaking of cold-hearted globalist betrayals."
"Now, you could say, That's just Trump searching for affirmation where he can. Unpopular at home, he retreats into the fantasy of his popularity in another country. Well yes, true. But it's not a one-time exhibition"
