— RT “When President Trump endorsed Bibi Netanyahu, the whole tide turned, and now, rather than a decisive defeat for a Great Prime Minister, it looks like a big come-from-behind stalemate, or even a WIN for Netanyahu.

Donald J. Trump claimed credit for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s stronger-than-expected showing in Israel‘s legislative election, asserting his endorsement shifted the race’s momentum. While Netanyahu’s bloc outperformed early exit polls, partial results show it still falls short of the 61 seats needed to form a government, signaling difficult coalition negotiations ahead.

It all took place AFTER the Endorsement by President Trump, who only wants what is good for the Middle East, Israel, and the United States of America!” Irving C. Schwartz

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
