Trump Plays Peacemaker, Hosting Abbas at the White House
 [An Nahar] President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... will play peacemaker at the White House on Wednesday, meeting with Paleostinian leader the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... as part of an effort to end the long-running Paleostinian-Israeli conflict. After hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in February, the self-styled deal-maker-in-chief will host Abbas for the first time since coming to office. "The President's ultimate goal is to establish peace in the region," said White House press secretary Sean Spicer. That long-shot effort -- which has eluded US presidents since the 1970s -- got off to a rocky start early in Trump's adminstration. Trump renounced US support for a Paleostinian state and vowed to move the US embassy to Jerusalem, breaking two tenets of US policy held for decades.  Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday said Trump is still "giving serious consideration into moving the American embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem."That move would likely spark Paleostinian fury and is privately seen by many in the Israel and US security establishments as needlessly inflammatory.
