• Trump's election means that you have a US government that will no longer do one thing and say another.

• Most of the time, teachers who talk about the Middle East do not know the history, culture or present context of the problems they are discussing. So they go to the media, which quote government or academic "experts" (who often are no such thing) or journalists who, by virtue of working for the media, are supposed to know what they are talking about. In the end they know little or nothing beyond a standard line that reflects the perceptions of the US government and its special-interest supporters. That is what the students get. Indeed, that is what we all get.

• If the Americans do move the embassy to Jerusalem, and eventually the rest of the world follows suit, it will mark the end of Palestinian hopes for a two-state solution.

• Mi conjetura es que Trump comenzará a retirar las tropas de Europa a un ritmo lento. Exigirá una renovación del Acuerdo con Irán y no conseguirá nada con ello. Puede que haya más sanciones estadounidenses contra Irán. Sin embargo, los iraníes no transigirán con Trump y, salvo que se produzca un enfrentamiento naval en el Golfo Pérsico, serán las empresas estadounidenses las que sufrirán y el nivel de frustración de Trump aumentará.

• Si Donald Trump muestra signos de echarse atrás en Europa, los rusos podrían estar dispuestos a mantenerse al margen de su confrontación con Irán. Si sigue el programa de Obama en Europa, las cosas podrían ser diferentes.

• If Trump takes an aggressive anti-Iranian stand, I suspect it will complicate his relations with Russia; how much so, depends on what else Trump does, particularly about participation in NATO.

• Creo que la afinidad de Trump con Netanyahu es parte del hecho de que se siente más cómodo con compañeros matones. Está creando un club mundial de matones gobernantes.

• La tendencia de Trump es codearse con dictadores. Lo hemos visto con su actitud hacia Rusia y también hacia la actual dictadura en Egipto. Podría empezar a acercarse a los dictadores del Golfo como forma de intentar asustar a los iraníes. Esto podría desembocar en un enfrentamiento naval en el Golfo Pérsico.

• Trump bien podría optar por incumplir las obligaciones de EE.UU. (¡tanto por la santidad de los contratos!) y sin duda tendría el acuerdo de los políticos sionistas como Schumer. Pero las consecuencias serán un mayor aislamiento de Estados Unidos, sobre todo de Europa, cuyas empresas se trasladarán a Irán mientras que las estadounidenses saldrán perdiendo.

• The question is: Will Trump's ego allow him to reconsider any negative moves that he now might have in mind? Such reconsideration is really out of character for him.

• Specifically in reference to Iran, Donald Trump will not be able to renegotiate the nuclear arms pact. His attempt to do so will alienate all the European powers involved and will cost a number of US companies some very lucrative contracts. It is a losing proposition for him and for the US. Much more so than for Iran, who will turn more and more to Russia and China as trading partners.

• Consequences of acting in Donald Trump's usual egocentric, "I make the rules," way can be quite dangerous for all of us.

• Trump often acts in delusional ways. I think he is a man who has always made his own rules and gotten away with it. Enough money will do that for you. However, he has also gotten away with it because he has operated in limited contexts - mostly in the realm of business.

• Donald Trump no siente simpatía por los desvalidos. Ellos, incluidos los palestinos, son sólo "perdedores". Así que unirá palabras y acciones como desea Netanyahu.

• [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu, in his rather undiplomatic way, demanded that Washington bring words and actions together into a coherent, 100 percent pro-Israeli policy. Obama, apparently still having faith in a "two-state solution," refused to do this.
