If Trump had kept his distance and allowed all of this to be on Netanyahu, then the shoe would be on the other foot.

Netanyahu would be begging the U.S. to bail him out.

It's frog and scorpion, and Trump gave Netanyahu a ride on his back across the river before getting stung. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Unfortunately, he's dragging all of us along for the ride.
