    It’s the wrong reason, but Trump seems to dislike giving american money to anyone, and so does his base, so that is a possible point of pressure

      Nah, Trump loves getting money from Israel. He would totally accelerate the genocide for that. Trump only cares about Trump.

      But he’s using the same tactic as in 2016, where he’s trying to come off as the peace candidate and frame his opponent as a warmonger. That’s why he’s only talks about it as if he’ll ‘end the war’ and leave any details out about how he’ll actually do so (more Genocide). It only works because of the terrible policy of the Biden Administration right now on Israel. If Harris pivoted and went for Conditional Aid, it would destroy that framing and give massive gains to Harris in this race
