Trump: 'I'll devote everything within my heart' for Mideast peace deal

Source: Politico

President Donald Trump on Wednesday pledged to devote everything within his heart and soul to strike a peace deal between the Israelis and Palestinians in the Middle East.

“I think we have a pretty good shot — maybe the best shot ever — and that’s what we’re looking to do,” the president said Wednesday morning ahead of a meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Trump thanked Abbas for “all of the time, all of the meetings, all of the work” he has put in.

“It’s a complex subject. Always been considered the toughest deal of all,” Trump said. “Peace between the Israel and the Palestinians, the toughest of all. But I think we have a very, very good chance, and I certainly will devote everything within my heart and within my soul to get that deal made.” The president said the U.S. and Palestinians have “expert” teams and insisted “Israel is working very hard toward the same goal,” as is Saudi Arabia and others.

“So we’ll see if we can put it together,” Trump concluded. “Who knows? Stranger things have happened, but I think we have a good chance.”

I guess "everything" from nothing is nothing. That's what he has to offer.

How can you do a deal if you venture nothing? "Who knows?" sums it up exactly.


Edit: there is an echo in here?

Ha, ha, suckers! There's nothing in my heart but hate for women and brown folks and love of myself. Everyone knows that. Nothing is getting done in the ME and I've assigned Jared to ensure that nothing could possibly happen, he will make sure of that!

"...Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing..."
