Yes, Trump really put higher tariffs on Israel than Iran
reason.com
A few hours before President Donald Trump slapped huge new tariffs on nearly all imports to the United States, Israel preemptively dropped all its tariffs

That is perhaps that only silver lining in this. Is one very small indication that we are not entirely Israel’s bitch.

I’ll take one granual of sugar with my scalding cup of shit.

    True. But the US has a tendency to make exceptions for Israel. So the fact that he stuck to his math and didn’t get Israel a special exception is a small win for US Israel relations. (aka making them more normal).

    Basically it’s exceptional that we didn’t make an exception. That’s kind of sad. But because it’s exceptional it’s worth noting.
