Trump and Netanyahu's rocky relationship could boost JD Vance's 2028 presidential odds

The Bulwark's editor Jonathan V. Last argues President Donald Trump's deteriorating relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could inadvertently boost Vice President JD Vance's 2028 presidential ambitions. A potential U.S. and Israel split could reshape the MAGA coalition, positioning Vance to appeal to both pro-war Republicans frustrated with surrender and America First isolationists skeptical of the Israeli relationship, argues Last. He also writes, Israel will become one of the big cleavages in the post-Trump GOP, with younger base members opposing continued American support while establishment MAGA remains pro-Israel. Netanyahu faces a choice: embrace Trump's war-ending deal or break with the president. Trump's criticism of Netanyahu, calling him crazy, in addition to his declining popularity in Israel, suggests a potential rupture, the author explains. Last contends Vance could leverage any Trump-Israel schism by claiming ownership of the war's conclusion, positioning himself favorably with the Republican base despite his current difficult position.Watch the video below.

DOJ Cites Plot Against UFC Fight as Defense for White House Ballroom

The Trump administration is now arguing that an alleged thwarted drone attack on the White House UFC event on Sunday was an “assassination plot,” even as charging documents indicate otherwise, in an attempt to convince America that the president really does need that ballroom.Just four days before the UFC event, Tycen Proper, 19, of Ohio, reportedly told federal agents that he and four other people planned to bomb the event using drones and then shoot people fleeing. He was hospitalized with homicidal ideations and charged along with other members of his group. They had collected weapons and ammunition, but the status of the drones is unclear.The Department of Justice refers to Proper’s alleged plan as an “assassination plot” in its most recent legal defense for the White House ballroom the president has been insisting on building for weeks now. But Proper was charged with conspiracy to commit an offense against the U.S., attempted murder, firearm possession, and receipt or transfer of a firearm used to commit a felony—not assassination, as the DOJ claims.“This latest assassination plot against President Trump and dignitaries at the White House demonstrates the compelling need for the East Wing Project, with a Ballroom designed to defend against just such,” the filing Tuesday reads.This filing came on the same day that Vice President JD Vance described the planned UFC attack as “not that advanced,” placing even more doubt on the legitimacy of the administration’s filing claim.This shameless argument also came on the same day that The Washington Post reported that half the cost of President Trump’s $600 million ballroom will be paid by U.S. taxpayers—even after promising the project would be “taxpayer free,” with no U.S. citizen paying even “10 cents.”
