Doesnt Trump ever get tired of losing so often?
Were going to win so much, youre going to be so sick and tired of winning.
And Im going to say, Im sorry, but were going to keep winning, winning, winning.
Presidential candidate Donald Trump, May 2016
We dont have any wins on the board yet.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Dec. 5, 2017
We are losing, losing, losing.
We are losing with North Korea, getting closer to nuclear war. We are losing with Russia and China, which are expanding their power unchecked. We are losing in trade as imports from China and Mexico hit records. We are losing with longtime allies that condemn us. We are losing with our secretary of state, undercut by his own boss. We are losing with our former national security adviser, now a felon.
I say to President Trump: I am so tired of losing. I dont want to lose any more. And Trump says: Im sorry, but were going to keep losing. Now we are going to lose in the Middle East.
Earlier this year, Trump proclaimed that a deal in the region is maybe not as difficult as people have thought over the years. As recently as two months ago he said this of his administrations peace plan: I want to give that a shot before I even think about moving the embassy to Jerusalem.
So much for giving peace a shot. With Wednesdays announcement that hes recognizing Jerusalem as Israels capital and moving the U.S. Embassy there, hes effectively throwing in the towel on Mideast peace. Hes inflaming Arab allies, denying the United States legitimacy as a broker and putting already remote hopes of a peace deal into the category of pipe dreams.
