Trump shares video of economist calling Netanyahu ‘dark bastard who orchestrates endless wars’

US President-elect Donald Trump has caused a new stir by sharing a controversial video on social media. In the video, which Trump posted on his own Truth Social, economist Jeffrey Sachs accuses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – who he calls a “shady bastard” – of manipulating US foreign policy and orchestrating “endless wars” in the Middle East.

According to Sachs, Netanyahu has been pursuing a systematic strategy since 1995 to eliminate Hamas and Hezbollah by attacking their support for governments in Iraq, Iran and Syria.

“He has plunged us into endless wars and because of the power of all of this in American politics, he has gotten his way,” Sachs said in the video.

Trump shared the video as Egypt, Qatar and the current US administration are engaged in diplomatic efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement, including the release of hostages.

It was not immediately clear what Trump’s purpose was in sharing the video.

  1. “In 2022, Sachs appeared several times on one of the top-rated shows funded by the Russian government, hosted by Vladimir Solovyov, to call for Ukraine to negotiate and step away from its “maximalist demands” of removing Russia from Ukrainian territory.”

    This tells you all you need to know about this piece of crap.

    • Sachs is a far left conspiracy-theorist putler-rimmer and liar.
      Since the far left and far right sing from the same hymn sheet when it comes to putler, it’s no surprise that Trumpkov loves this bastard.

  2. I share his opinion. The Jews and muslims hate us, so do the commies. We must hurt them more than they were hurting us for decades, in particular our women.
