A bad idea practically and politically. His people are trying to thread this needle but the fodder something like this offers to the other side is not worth the votes he would gain in Dearborn Michigan(high Arab-American population here).

Many of the people working for him are overly critical of Israel and overly sympathetic to Palestinians, so I think that's where this comes from. Look at the Pod Save the World podcast bros(who worked for Obama)... they would like Israel to agree to a ceasefire even if Hamas won't accept one that involves releasing hostages. Democrats under 50 simply can't look at this issue rationally.


I think Left Right and Center had a good segment interviewing people from Dearborn Michigan gathering people's thoughts on Biden; it ended up pretty much exactly as you say. My muslim friends irl absolutely despise Biden for the handling of the recent war and said there's zero chance they'll vote for him lol

Different, yes, but both types of behavior are highly corrosive to the separation of powers (by weakening the fourth estate's ability to hold the government accountable).


How is Trump's behavior highly corrosive? Be specific.

By polarizing the media along partisan lines, meaning that media reporting on political malfeasance or corruption will not translate to an appropriate punishment at the ballot box.

And by weakening the trust of the public in the media and political news coverage in general. Just to be crystal clear: they deserve it, the MSM has not been fully trustworthy going back decades, and has lost any remnant of credibility during the Trump era. Trump is right: these outlets are enemies of the people. Undermining trust in the media is both inevitable and the right thing to do in the current times. Nonetheless, an unfortunate side effect is that the power of the classical media/classical journalism has gone down since no persuadable voter buys their crap anymore. This development is well-justified, and it would actually be a worse outcome if the people still trusted the MSM - but this development nonetheless weakens the fourth estate.
