A) “In any policy fight, if an option benefits Israel, that option prevails.”
Example: recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and the U.S. Embassy move (2017–18) despite broad international objection; later the Golan Heights recognition (2019).
B) “Left to his own messaging, unrelated issues are linked back to Israel.”
Example: after 7 Oct 2023 he tied the U.S.–Mexico border to Hamas, claiming militants were “pouring” across—claims multiple fact-checks found unsupported.
C) “When several justifications exist, the Israel-aligned one is chosen.”
Example: in 2025, when asked about choices on Gaza (hostage-first diplomacy vs pressure), he publicly emphasised “Hamas can’t stay” and urged more military pressure—positions aligning with Netanyahu’s line.
D) “Verification is optional; narrative utility is sufficient.”
Example: the Mexico “Hamas training camp”/cartel linkage circulated in partisan media; Newsweek and others found no evidence it existed.
E) “If a move seems unrelated, you’ve overlooked the Israel angle.”
Example: designating Latin American cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and authorising planning for military options reads as border/narcotics policy, yet it dovetails with his border-to-Hamas rhetoric, reinforcing an Israel-centred “terror” frame.
