Yeah so? And like 40% of Israel was pro-Trump, the anti-globalist candidate. Of the some 50% in Israel that favored HRC, it was mostly the matter of familiarity.. which is kinda dumb because of the frosty relations they had with 0bama. Trump want's to promote peace in the middle-east, after all these neocon wars, and this is somehow a bad thing? ....after the past number of presidents having been arming both sides of about every conflict?

Of course within reason, he didn't run for prime minister of Israel. He didn't run for Caliph of Islam. And he's not the Pope.

As for surveillance, it's a weak spot (remember I favored Rand), but I'm willing to give him time to look into the program, which up to this point has been well above his security clearance level. If you believe Trump is a shithead, then it doesn't matter about it, we're doomed, if that were so.

edit: and not suggesting you think of him that way. Nor does he have my unwavering trust no matter what he does anything he want's (I'd be like an 0bama supporter). But he has people around him, that I think give him good counsel. And as Reagan said "Trust but verify".
