Donald Trump on Israel
Analysis
by JIM STONE

Donald trump's proposed policy on Israel is a gift on a golden platter. They are going to get everything they want if Trump has his way, and I mean everything. Perplexing problem - If Trump really does succeed in getting the remainder of "Palestine" handed over to Israel, where are the "Palestinians" going to go? That's a good question.

Another question is - Is Donald bending on Israel to make it easier for him to save America? A favor here, in exchange for something else? Trump is a master of working out deals. So we are likely to see trade offs that make people scratch their heads, which in turn make things a whole lot better for America. Is that what he is doing with this? Either way, it is not looking too good for the "Palestinians".

Another perplexing issue with Trump - he's getting a large number of former Goldman Sachs people on board with his presidency. To be clear here, they are not at present affiliated with Goldman Sachs, but historically they have been. So it is not a direct in road for Goldman Sachs. The question is then, is he hiring people who are loyal to the cause of making America great again? If so, it would be a good move because there will no others more aware of what goes on behind the scenes than these people. But if they end up serving their own interests rather than those of the nation, it could be bad. So I am a fence sitter on this particular strategy. Wait and see I guess.

Those are the two big issues that have me concerned with Trump. Hopefully he is not stupid with this (Trump is honest, but who knows what his information weaknesses are and if he can be manipulated.) Only time will tell. I am looking forward to seeing what actually happens.
