Trump offered King Abdullah II of Jordan the West Bank. Though he had no authority to do so, he thought it was a great deal for the king. Abdullah? He was horrified. What the traitor wanted in exchange for his generous offer of land that is sacred to all three Abrahamic religions is unknown.
There are a few nuggets of the Trump crazy not previously reported in a book to be published next week. You can find them in the Washington Post article and other news outlets if you are behind the WP paywall.
Trump is a continued threat to this country, and he needs to be arrested and thrown in prison while he waits for trial. It’s stunning that it has not happened.
President Trump once offered what he considered “a great deal” to Jordan’s King Abdullah II: control of the West Bank, whose Palestinian population long sought to topple the monarchy.
“I thought I was having a heart attack,” Abdullah II recalled to an American friend in 2018, according to a new book on the Trump presidency being published next week. “I couldn’t breathe. I was bent doubled-over.”
The unreported offer to Abdullah is among the startling new details about Trump’s chaotic presidency in the book “The Divider: Trump in the White House 2017-2021” by Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent for the New York Times, and Susan Glasser, staff writer for the New Yorker.
The book, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post, is the latest in a long-running series of deeply reported behind-the-scenes accounts featuring, or written by, Trump administration insiders, with some claiming that they tried to curb the 45th president’s worst instincts.

The offer to Abdullah of the West Bank — which is bordered by Israel and Jordan, and which Trump had no control over — came in January 2018. Trump thought he would be doing the Jordanian king a favor, not realizing that it would destabilize his country, according to the book.
What an ignorant and dangerous buffoon. Though we are on the precipice of multiple calamities (one of which is our extinction), this monster continues to dominate the news cycle. And no, that is not hyperbole.
The Media will never change; his rap sheet is so long that the conversation will always be all Trump. Even after his death, his death cult will continue to stir up trouble for a long time.
