I would love to satisfy some of my readers who believe I am too critical of the US president.  However, often he simply makes it so difficult to be complimentary.

For example, in an interview with Israeli news Channel N12 on Thursday, US President Trump said that Israeli President Isaac Herzog should immediately grant Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a pardon so that our prime minister can concentrate fully on the war with Iran.

Trump added that he does not want Netanyahu “distracted by anything” other than the ongoing conflict, and urged Herzog to act without delay.   During the interview, Trump sharply criticized Herzog and claimed, as he had previously, that Herzog had earlier indicated that a pardon would be forthcoming. Trump said Herzog had “promised me five times” that he would pardon Netanyahu and asserted that the two men had discussed the issue repeatedly over the past year.

Herzog, as he has done regularly since Trump first mentioned this in a Knesset........
