Donald Trump is reportedly advising Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which would be a violation of the Logan Act.

He may not be in office, but Donald Trump has been speaking with the powers that be about Israel’s war on Gaza—but it’s not in an effort to end the genocide.

Instead, Trump has allegedly been talking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avert a cease-fire deal, fearing that doing so could help Vice President Kamala Harris win in November, according to PBS.

“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the Prime Minister of Israel, urging him not to cut a deal right now, because it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” said PBS’s Judy Woodruff Monday night. “So, I don’t know where—who knows whether that will come about or not, but I have to think that the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what presidents do, and that’s to work on that one.”

    Genocide isn’t in my best interests.

    If there is no option on the ballot to stop sponsoring genocide then I’m not getting what I want regardless of how I vote.

    If the Democrats feel that Trump is a threatening-enough stick that they don’t need to offer a carrot, then that’s their problem.

      Hey we talked about the Gaza atrocities before. Have you watched the latest debate and if so has your opinion changed about voting? Not trying to pressure just genuinely curious

      Sorry for not replying until now, I didn’t have a response for you. You made me think.

        No worries for the late reply, and I haven’t watched the debate or even followed any of the coverage. To be honest, I’ve mostly checked out of the election since it’s become a fait accompli.

        I’ll do my research on the local candidates when my ballot comes in the mail but I’ll be leaving the choice for president blank. Harris will win the election anyway.
