He said, openly, a couple times, he doesn't care what US Proles pay for gas.
Yeah. He lied.
I mean, he probably doesn't personally care. But high gas prices cause him all kinds of political problems and interfere with his agenda and jeopardize the already thin chances of the GOP holding the House and keep him from getting the interest rate cuts he wants and....
Well, I could go on and on. He doesn't care what the Proles think or feel, but he cares about how high gas prices affect him. And boy, did they ever.
It is not impossible that Trump told "Bibi" the MOU, and the cease fire in Lebanon, are shams, just like the other 40 times he declared "peace is at hand", to get past the election, before resuming the blockade.
It's pretty darn close to impossible, because if he had given "Bibi" that assurance then Bibi's allies and supporters wouldn't be so enraged about the MOU. But they know that's not going to happen. Trump gains virtually nothing by resuming the blockade and may not even have the ability to continue the blockade (especially if the Democrats take the House, and certainly if the Democrats take the Senate).
Trump has capitulated, to the chagrin of Iran hawks and the Israeli right. And there's no imagining it or wishcasting it away.
