UNITED NATIONS (AP) — President Donald Trump waded into thorny Middle East politics while at the United Nations on Wednesday, endorsing the two-state solution to bring an end the decades-long conflict between Israel and the Palestinians while poised to denounce the dangers posed by Iran.

Trump, a day after being greeted with laughter by world leaders still uncertain how to manage his “America First” ideology, explicitly backed Israel, leaned in on the importance of moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem and suggested that he saw progress on the horizon for long-delayed hopes for Middle East peace. “I like two-state solution,” Trump said in his most clear endorsement of the plan. “That’s what I think works best.”

Meeting with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump indicated that moving the embassy was “a big chip” the U.S. delivered to the Israelis.

“I took probably the biggest chip off the table. And so obviously they have to start you know we have to make a fair deal. We have to do something. Deals have to be good for both parties.”

1. He took that "biggest chip off the table" and got NOTHING in return. Great deal-making, Dotard.

And now it is HARDER to make a deal between the two sides. Because of what he did.

2. And how many Palestinian died and or were wounded protesting that obscene act

3. Doesn't that usually mean the other party is supposed to get a 'big chip' as well?

4. Absolute freaking 100% lie!

He does not believe in a fair deal for all, he wants the Palestinians to let Israel rape them, lose everything they own and be slaves. Palestinians quit talking to them because every deal they brought was all good for Israel and zero, zip, nada for them. drumpf wants to deliver to the Israelis because they have offered to ensure he became president and their ambassador even boasted how they'd get some US citizen to be the go-between the 2 governments so we'd never figure out their deception. Jared is a Zionist and he's been bribed, that's all he needs to be all in. Plus he loves hurting brown people and Israel delivers on that, so they are a natural pair.

6. What a loser

Just admitted he was completely played. Obvious at the time that Netanyahu wouldn't give any concessions.

If it weren't for the human cost it would be laughable. Another example why we don't want incompetent amateurs in power.
