By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post - How did Trump do it? First, by establishing his credibility. And that means saying what he means and meaning what he says. That means greasing Soleimani and obliterating Iran’s nuclear sites, but it also means playing hardball with Bibi Netanyahu... As former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman put it yesterday: “The Biden and the Obama administrations had a series of perpetual red lines that were made to be breached, and in the Middle East, you can’t do that. Nobody took them seriously. In the Middle East … people look at you and they ask, ‘Does this guy mean what he says? Does he have the courage of his convictions?’ And with President Trump … that’s a guy that means what he says, that you should pay attention to.
