DeSantis rips Trump for criticizing Israel, calling Hezbollah ‘very smart’
The Hill ^ | Miranda Nazzarro

Posted on 10/12/2023 12:24:13 PM PDT by aperez77

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis railed against former President Trump for calling the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah “very smart” and criticizing Israel.

“Terrorists have murdered at least 1,200 Israelis and 22 Americans and are holding more hostage, so it is absurd that anyone, much less someone running for President, would choose now to attack our friend and ally, Israel, much less praise Hezbollah terrorists as ‘very smart,'” DeSantis wrote Wednesday in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

President Trump was clearly pointing out how incompetent Biden and his administration were by telegraphing to the terrorists an area that is susceptible to an attack. Smart does not equal good. It just proves Biden is stupid. And now you look stupid, Ron. https://t.co/yYpZ9oJbGe— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 12, 2023

DeSantis, the governor of Florida, vowed to stand with Israel and “treat terrorists like the scum that they are.” His comments were in response to Trump’s speech in West Palm Beach, Fla., where the former president said Hezbollah, which is based in Lebanon, is “very smart, they’re all very smart.”

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
- Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Trump is correct and he knows more than Meatball.

I know enemies to America. They use Bush campaign advisers. They talk ill about Donald Trump without reason and in the process alienate the largest block of Republicans in the country. They take money from special interests and big donors that demand policies that are good for them and bad for hardworking Americans. In other words, they are bought and paid for. They lack principles and will do anything to get a vote. They spend the vast majority of their lives as government employees and have zero in common with everyday Americans in the private sector.

It seems that one meatball doesn’t know his enemy and he doesn’t even know himself. (See Big Donors and Bush advisors telling him who he is.) Perhaps this is one of the contributing reasons he is getting is ass kicked by Trump.

Two things are true:

As President, Trump was a great friend of Israel.

Trump's recent comments are despicable. Naturally he made it about him because that's the only thing narcissists know how to do. F Trump.

Trump is sometimes not the most polished, articulate of speakers. Fairly often he tries to make a valid point but states it in an awkward, sort of sideways manner. I believe that’s what happened here, because we know he is a big supporter of Israel and took more substantive action to benefit Israel than any of his supporters with the possible exception of Harry Truman in 1948.

Of course the Palestinian terrorists showed they have smarts in their surprise attack. To pull this off without Israeli intelligence knowledge was masterful. Trump says it like it is like it or not.

Trump is pissed at Netanyahu because he said stupid things about Biden and Trump.

Bibi is reaping what he has sown.

‘Note that Trump sounded supportive of Israel until Putin made statements in support of Iran’s proxies’

haven’t you learned by now not to listen to what Trump actually says, but what freepers say Trump says...

Trump did more for Israel than any President in recent history.

That is why a town in the Golan Heights was named after him.

NOt exactly. I think you could say the Japanese defense of the islands, given their situation, was pretty “smart.”

Meanwhile, Trump did more for Israel than anyone, a fact they clearly appreciated.
