Foreign countries know exactly what they're doing this time around when it comes to manipulating Trump. I think last time they were surprised just how easy and stupid it was and now Saudia Arabia is just like "yeah throw some McDonald's paint on a trailer and give him a happy meal, he'll sign whatever we want".

The dude is a very very stupid child.

He already caused Israel attacking Iran in the first place:

Ripping up the existing nuclear deal with Iran. Giving Israel the excuse.
Emboldening Israel with cruel rhetoric against Palestinians himself. Allowing them to commit genocide freely.
Finally giving them a "yellow light" for the attack.

So he definitely does not deserve the nomination, but yeah, maybe he can be manipulated into backing off.

It’s literally his MO either through incompetence or hubris, he consistently plants landlines for both himself and others:

Crash out of the JCPOA despite Iranian compliance and the EU trying to maintain the deal without the US, setting the stage for the current crisis
Completely disregard the Palestinian question in the Abraham Accords, signaling to Hamas(/Iran) that the window is closing and soon the whole Gulf will be onboard with permanent Israeli domination of Palestine
Give the Taliban whatever they want in the Doha Accords, but in a timeline that forces it to be the next President’s problem
Publicly declare he’ll solve Ukraine-Russia in 100 days… signaling the limits of his patience, and that Putin only needs to delay, delay, delay
“I’ll make a decision in two weeks on Iran”
