Carlson: Trump preferred Israel's interests over the hunger of American children American conservative commentator and analyst Tucker Carlson criticized Trump's preference for Israel's interests over America's interests and said that Trump's behavior is like a father who takes the neighbor's children to the playground, while his own children are hungry. This American presenter also criticized Washington's participation in conflicts in the Middle East and claimed that the US has entered wars many times for the sake of Israel's interests, which have ended at the expense of the country's national interests. Carlson said: "If your country constantly starts pointless wars in the Middle East for Israel and loses them every time, you will weaken your power, your citizens will be killed and you will gradually go bankrupt. Maybe at some point you will come to the conclusion that this is a bad idea and we cannot follow Israel into more wars. But it didn't happen because no one was brave enough to talk about what was really happening." - Link
