Trump’s comments were not the first time he has appeared to seek a political benefit from his foreign policy and his positions on Israel especially.
They also show Trump’s quintessential contempt for the rules of politics, foreign policy and even basic human decency, which explain why he horrifies many Americans and foreign governments.
