President Donald J. Trump Merely Israel’s Butler, Not the Man of the House At All

The Israeli Mossad has been spying on their subordinate, American President Donald Trump. According to Politico, a batch of "Stingray"-type cell phone interception devices have been collected from around Washington D.C. and traced by the NSA back to Israel. They have determined that the devices were placed with the intent of spying on the president himself. Who does Netanyahu think he is to treat his most loyal American leader ever with this level of disrespect? Will the president lie down like a dog and take such abuse in this way?

Giorgio Cafiero comes back on the show to talk about how the utter disaster of America and its allies' policies in the Middle East for the last 20 years.
