The wheels are off the trump bus.

Jeffrey Epstein Claimed Trump Knew About His Conduct, New Emails Show
In one message, Epstein said one of his apparent victims "spent hours at my house" with Trump.

"The state of Israel, established in 1948 by its founding war, has appropriated approximately 91 percent of the land in what originally was called Palestine. Since WWII, the US has provided more foreign aid to Israel than to any other country. Total US foreign assistance to Israel 1946 to 2022: $317.9bn."

The World Bank considers Israel a "high-income country." In 2024, Israel's GNI was $55,250. By contrast, NATO EU member UK: $48,610 and NATO member Canada: $53,340.

Israel's universal healthcare system is ranked globally in the top ten and the term 'medical bankruptcy' does not exist there. Meanwhile in the US, an average 530,000 American families file for medical bankruptcy every year in our for-profit system. Israel's pension system is ranked third best in the world at 'B', above the US and UK which both ranked at 'C+.' On the Global Happiness Index (GHI), Israel ranked 8th while the US dropped to 24th. No wonder.

So, why is the hardworking American taxpayer funding a country where its citizens are enjoying a much superior quality-of-life who are ethnically cleansing their country of Arabs and Muslims?

Sidenote: Unlike the US with direct subsidies, since the late 1960s Canada has been indirectly funding Israel through charities and tax-deductible regulations per province and federally, albeit at a smaller scale. See one of many sources below.

Citations:

Israeli Healthcare System Far Superior to US.

Israel High Income Country.

Israel's Social Security System Beats US.

American Taxpayer Getting Screwed.

Israelis Happier than Americans. No Kidding!

Canada Indirectly Funds Israel

"Thanks US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and hardworking American shiksas and goyim, we're almost finished, see?"
Signed,
Bibi
