As someone who genuinely doesn't understand American politics too much, wouldn't Trump be better for the Middle East? I live in Lebanon right now and most people that I talk to say that Trump would be far better than anyone else for the Middle East, considering what he did in his first term. They'll also back this up with "he's a business man, and war is bad for business", but I don't entirely buy that considering how profitable war is for the US. Could someone put my in the loop?

Trump is a Zionist so he'd probably start backing Israel with more weapons and escalating the current situation with Iran.

I too hate Hezballah, as most do, but issue is that I also live in the same country where they live. I used to feel bad for Americans that had to do active shooter drills. My school just did a "we're being bombed" drill.

Trump literally said he’d make sure Gaza stops existing.

Although Russian propaganda loves to portray him as being better for the middle east.
