You know the big old orange guy in the White House? He did it.

... Like, come on now. What do you think, Israel is blackmailing him? He is unblackmailable; most of the country hates him, and his supporters would not be put off by any conceivable misbehaviour or perversion (if that Russian piss tape ever comes out, do you really think it will change anyone's vote, say?) It's like the tariffs; he did it because he has a bunch of idiosyncratic ideas about the world and doesn't listen to expert advice.
