Little Trump fires everywhere: President fuels problems for successor
|
[Jpost] Trump is setting what one official called "fires": plunging the United States into controversies that it will be hard for Biden to exit.
That paragon of presidents, Barack H. Obama modeled Proper Behaviour(TM) during his exit. It behooves his successor to learn from his example. President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
is still hoping to overturn Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
 ...Candidate for president in 2020. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier ...
’s election victory, running a battery of failed lawsuits and intensive pressure campaigns on electoral officials. Absent the unlikely that he overturns the election, Trump is setting what one official called "fires": plunging the United States into controversies that it will be hard for Biden to exit and seeding the government with personnel who will be hard to displace.
Among the latter is Rabbi Aryeh Lightstone, an aide to the US ambassador to Israel, David Friedman. Lightstone has been named to lead the Abraham Fund, the investment fund launched in the wake of the normalization agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
One of the fund’s first projects under Lightstone will be to modernize the Israeli checkpoints that dot the West Bank, and Democrats in Congress told me they fear that Trump is trying to insinuate into the bureaucracy an ideology sympathetic to the settler movement.
Call the appointments Trump Dumps. Another example is the white nationalist-adjacent Darren Beattie, named this week to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad.
"The commission identifies and works to secure the preservation of historical sites in Europe, such as cemeteries, monuments and Holocaust killing sites, that are associated with the heritage of U.S. citizens," my colleague Ben Sales writes.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is doing his part, rushing to entrench a number of policies that Biden rejects and may be hard to overturn. My colleague Gabe Friedman lists what Pompeo pulled off in a single day: He became the first secretary of state to visit a settlement in the West Bank, and then the Golan Heights. Pompeo also said the State Department formally regarded the movement to boycott, sanction and divest from Israel as anti-Semitic.
