More praise in Middle East: Egyptian president says Trump ‘capable of doing impossible’

President Trump is continuing to defy his detractors at home by wooing more world leaders in the Middle East.

During a Sunday meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Sisi told the American president that he is “capable of doing the impossible.”

“Mr. President, let me express our appreciation and respect,” Sisi said through a translator.

“Let me say that you have a unique personality that is capable of doing the impossible.”

Trump laughed and replied, “That’s very interesting…I agree.”

CNN White House reporter Jeremy Diamond characterized the meeting between the two as “a buddy comedy routine.”

Meanwhile, on Monday, Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli President Reuven Rivlin.

First there is no way in hell ANYONE is going to broker a lasting peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians, because there is no way in hell those two groups will ever agree on anything.

Secondly, as long as the Egyptian government does little in the way of protecting their own Christian citizens (and any Islamic citizens that protest the current regime) the US and the UN are still going to be playing hard ball with that country.

Third, until someone finds a religiously based logical solution to the thousand year old feud between the Sunni and Shiite (not to mention the Sufi and other smaller Islamic Sects) the ISIS problem is not going to go away, it will just be reborn with a new name.

Fourth, short of the second coming of Christ, or a near extinction level asteroid impact, humans are going to keep finding reasons to kill each other be it political, religion, race, sexual orientation or just because someone farted during a sporting event because humans seem to enjoy killing other humans and we are damn fucking good at it.

I mean we took gun powder which was originally used in rockets to carry messages to the gods in China and turned it into a weapon, the same as we took the first rock tied to a stick and spear points originally used to kill animals to feed ourselves and once we got that down with some practice, we started using the same things on each other.

And IF we are ever contacted by an extraterrestrial intelligence, we will become one thing, cannon fodder for their wars, because that is the one things humans do better than anything else.

Jeff is like the naysayers who preached that Columbus would fall off the edge. "You can't do it - it cannot be done."

You gotta somewhat agree with the part about Muslims and peace though, because of their cult teachings demanding and praising violence

Muslims have to be taught that just like leftists, theirs is a fantasy world that does not exist outside of their heads. And that can be accomplished

We have to stop coddling them though, and listening to morons like Obama who preach to us as well as to them that their violence is our fault

Communication is key, backed up by force. They only understand superior strength.

No, Jeff is like the realists who pointed out that Portugal had already discovered the New World, and kept it a state secret, well before Columbus.

Not to mention Leif Erikson.

Or that "Spain" at the time was a loose collection of small states, one of which was ruled by Ferdinand and Isabella, who were too backwards to understand that the ancient Greeks had know the world was round for centuries.
