Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
When asked by reporters what he meant, Trump replied simply, “You’ll find out, and they’ll find out, too. Hamas will find out what I mean.”It’s a twist on the original Teddy Roosevelt dictum that stressed soft-spoken diplomacy backed up by lethal capacity, and it’s suited for the times. Enemies and allies alike, according to the Trump doctrine, have long taken advantage of the United States’s lack of clarity and resolve.
Reagan’s polished and optimistic speaking style projected a grandfatherly confidence that good would triumph over evil in the end. By contrast, Trump’s use of menacing,understatement projects a streetwise resourcefulness that seeks to enforce beneficial transactions. Trump isn’t interested in simply creating the conditions for good to triumph over evil — he wants to make evil an offer it can’t refuse.
But Trump’s eagerness to issue direct threats also comes with hazards. This is especially true in the case of Gaza. His recent threat about breaking loose “all hell,” however, could blow up that deal by giving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the green light to pull out. In addition, drawing this redline could either draw the U.S. into the conflict or weaken the credibility of Trump’s threats. After all, it wouldn’t be out of character for Hamas to weasel out of its commitments.
