Trump furious with Abbas: You lied to me

[ABX]

Ya don't say.  Who didn't see this coming besides Trump?

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

President Donald Trump lambasted Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, after the president claims the PA leader deceived him regarding his party’s involvement in anti-Israel incitement.

Trump met with Abbas in the PA-controlled city of Bethlehem last week during his two-day visit to Israel. The two held a joint press conference, at which time the president praised Abbas’ commitment to restarting negotiations with Israel for a final status agreement....

Don't play 'dumb' @AbaraXas   It's beneath you.

Yep, after a 1000 years, you'd think we would have learned by now

Who's playing dumb. We aren't the ones who trusted Abbas. At that, on the thread where Trump was making 'great deals' with Abbas, his defenders, his supporters were saying 'this time it is different'. Seems they were the ones 'playing dumb' in regards to Abbas' history.

Trump needs to get a much-needed clue.   You can't make "great deals" with the enemy.... cause you can't trust the enemy.  (friggin duh)

But according to a report by Channel 2 Sunday evening, the closed-door meeting between the president and the PA chairman was anything but cordial.

Trump should be furious with himself.

He's the one who shook hands with the scorpion.

[endicom]

More fury? It must be the Oval Office that makes presidents furious. Except for Clinton.

That's AMAZING! Who ever has heard of a Muslim who lies! THIS IS SHOCKING!

No it's a hostile media that lies and twist everything

Pure theatre, or pure incompetence.

If you think Trump trusts Abbas you've lost your mind. Don't mistake theatre for policy. He knows Abbas history and behavior, and this is part of playing the political game to position Abbas as the guy breaking faith with the President rather than vice versa. It then makes it much more palatable to other Arab allies when we come down hard in favor of the Israelis in the on going Palestinian vs Israel struggle. Its also a means to push other Arab allies to lean on Abbas to change his behavior. A win-win from the U.S. perspective.

It's all about those many millions of dollars promised to the Palestinians.  Wonder if DT gave them the money on the basis of  their 'promises'.

So he is either a liar, naive, or you have a completely false impression of him.

When somebody that is orange turns red does a tree fall in the forest? I'm the same age as Trump, but there are questions and answers that no longer befuddle my mind.

Wow, @Oceander

I see you're all over the forum in hysterics today, posting and crying like a little girl.

President Trump put on a public display...making a big deal out of meeting and shaking hands with Abbas, only to 'find' he lied to him.


Gee....almost like he went thru ALL OF IT, just to put it on the public record.

@Mesaclone

That's some pretty amazing eight-dimensional chess.

[txradioguy]

So last week Trump was crowing about how the PA was ready to make peace ...now he's mad because he found out what he should have already known.

You can't trust a terrorist.
