"You're f*****g crazy": Trump fumes at Netanyahu in call on Lebanon
Axios ^ | June 1, 2026 | Barak Ravid and Marc Caputo

Posted on 06/02/2026 6:20:26 AM PDT by Timber Rattler

President Trump lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's escalation in Lebanon in an expletive-laden call on Monday, two U.S. officials and a third source briefed on the call told Axios.

Why it matters: Earlier on Monday, Iran threatened to abandon the negotiations with the U.S. over Israel's actions in Lebanon. On the call, Trump called Netanyahu "crazy" and accused him of ingratitude, according to two of the sources. He also put the brakes on Israel's plan to strike Beirut.

Behind the scenes: One U.S. official said Trump told Netanyahu that following through on his threats to bomb the Lebanese capital would further isolate Israel around the world.

(snip)

Between the lines: Trump and Netanyahu have had several tense calls in the past but have still coordinated closely on Iran and other issues. One official said this was one of Trump's worst calls with Netanyahu since he returned to office.

Trump's anger appeared to be driven by the fact that Netanyahu's decision to escalate in Lebanon was threatening to implode his negotiations with Iran.

How dare the Israelis defend themselves against Hezbollah attacks! Why...they're they're jeopardizing Trump's dealmaking with the Iranians!

The nerve!

Trump and Netanyahu are talking to each other like blood brothers now. It’s pretty hilarious.

No, Trump’s talking like a mob boss torqued off at an underling.

Trump said to tell Netanyahu ‘you’re f**king crazy’ while demanding Lebanon truce: ‘I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel’ (Israel saved for last)

I wonder how much of this is theater to get Iran to cut a deal.

None of it. Trump is a poor actor and just lashes out with his emotions on a day by day basis. He has no plan on how to bring the Iranians to heel. Just his usual mindless pursuit of some deal with a bad faith Iranian jihad regime, just like he does with Russia and China.

are there any identified sources for this ?
it does not sound credible
not at all

it makes pdjt sound like a complete idiot and i do not believe that he is so dumb ... he’s very smart person, has proven his smarts a thousand times over the years—

it also makes him out as totally inept at even holding a phone chat — again, he’s a negotiator not a blithering fool

You do realize there's almost zero chance Trump said any of these things, right?

Yes, I’m sure Axios is privy to Trump’s phone calls with heads of states. 🙄

Your compulsive needs to continuously post negative articles of President Trump are symptomatic of obsessive-compulsive mental illness that is the cause of the significant distress that is interfering with your daily life.

This illness involves intrusive, irrational thoughts that you know are unreasonable, but you cannot stop, and your repetitive actions are performed to reduce your anxiety and are leading to disruption of relationships and your self-esteem.

Fortunately, treatment is available that can lead you to more a normal life. One very successful non-intrusive treatment is Exposure and Response Prevention. This is an effective form of cognitive behavioral therapy that will help you confront anxiety-provoking thoughts and situations while resisting compulsive behaviors.

This treatment works through a process called habituation, where repeated exposure to anxiety-inducing stimuli gradually decreases physiological and emotional responses. This therapy typically follows a structured approach with a licensed therapist.

If a therapist is not available, a moderator can be successful in your case if the moderator understands the process and there is a trust-bond between you and the moderator. Patients often choose their sexual partner to be their successful moderator, and your sexual partner may be a good choice for you, if there is a trust-bond between you and him.

The structured approach, for you, would begin with short viewing of images of President Trump and gradually lengthening the duration of viewing while the moderator is noting your response. As your mouth froths lessens, the duration extends until your response is nearing what is expected of a normal person.

As you progress, the treatment will extend to included President Trump social media postings and televised press encounters, speeches, and meetings.
This treatment is painful and you can expect emotional discomfort with initially increase anxiety and stress but remember, if successful, the treatment will retrain your brain to recognize that President Trump is not inherently dangerous to you, and it will reduce your anxiety over time. It is important to remember that the treatment requires your commitment and regular practice.

If this treatment is not successful a more intrusive treatment of Anterior Cingulate Cortex Surgery is available.
This would involve drilling holes through your skull to gain access to burn out specific areas of your timber reptilian brain that has been identified as the cause of your obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Approximately 50-60% of patients who did not respond to other treatments reported benefits from this surgery and fortunately, studies have found that many people can function normally with up to three fourths of their brains removed. You will be fine.

Nobody’s denying it this morning. And the people who sat in on the call on both sides are openly talking about it. So yeah, it sounds exactly like something Trump would do.

Netanyahu’s putting on his “Scared Silly US Taxpayer Billions Go Bye-bye” Act.

(Just one of Israel’s acts to get US billions.)


Reality Check

On record is the “all-seeing, all knowing” Mossad getting Netanyahu
to dupe Trump into bombing Iran by assuring Don The Mideast Believer:
<><>Iran’s ballistic missile program could be “destroyed” in weeks.
<><>The regime would be “too weak” to close the Strait of Hormuz.
<><>Street protests — with Mossad help — would “trigger a western-leaning uprising.”
<><>Kurdish fighters from Iraq could “open a ground front” in the northwest.

(None of which happened.)
