Over the weekend, violence erupted in Gaza as more than 2,000 people have been killed in a conflict between Israel and Palestine with no end in sight. And it has Auburn Tigers basketball coach Bruce Pearl wishing that former United States President Donald Trump was in office.
During a recent interview with Dan Dakich on Outkick’s “Don’t @ Me” podcast, Bruce Pearl seemed to blame the Barack Obama and Joe Biden presidential administrations for the violence in Gaza, claiming that they “created the crap that we got in this world.” And he made it clear that he thinks Trump’s policies were better.
“Trump comes in, and I know some people don’t like Donald Trump because he tweets or he’s not presidential, but his policies were spot on,” Pearl said on the podcast. “He comes in and says, wait a second, there’s pay to slay? Wait a second, so Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, they’re actually taking money and if you kill a Jew or murder a Jew or you do this suicide mission, they’re going to take care of your family and pay? This is ridiculous. We’re not funding that. And he cut it off. He cut off Iran.”
Pearl had a pretty bleak assessment of the state of the world, saying “Not since World War II has the world been this dangerous.”
