.......“I said, ‘Wait a minute, Hezbollah is very smart. They’re all very smart. — The press doesn’t like it when I say that.

Trump reiterated his claim that Netanyahu backed out at the last minute from actively taking part in the killing.

.....

“I’ll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down. That was a very terrible thing. We were very disappointed, but we did the job ourselves, and it was absolute precision, magnificent, beautiful job,” he said. “Then Bibi tried to take credit for it. That didn’t make me feel too good. But that’s all right.”

Israeli officials denied that Israel was supposed to take part in the assassination beyond intelligence efforts.

How did he "put his foot in his mouth"?

Only an idiot would construe calling your enemy "smart" as an endorsement.

Or, was it saying that Netanyahu failed in not preventing this horrible attack, wrong?

Sometimes it seems that those who attack Trump are incapable of simple English comprehension.

"Netanyahu was one of the first to abandon him in 2020 even after the steal was obvious."

The 2020 coup was an existential threat to Israel. Netanyahu was being diplomatic -- like when Trump was "friendly" with Kim Jong Un or when Churchill was "friendly" with Stalin. Netanyahu knows what the Obama/Biden regime is about.

I don’t see Bibi trembling in his boots at the sight of Brandon.

[Nifster]

It’s a statement of fact

[kiryandil]

I like these kind of threads, because we get to see the posters whose heads are going to explode when Trump is the nominee for 2024.

Also, most of them will get the bum's rush off the forum at the same time.

March-April of 2016 on FR was very entertaining.

***Yeah, most people will see a petulant teenage girl in an old man’s orange body still butthurt about some petty grievance he has with Netanyahu.***

That is how it comes across because that is who he is

[Nifster]

Or not

You can’t handle the truth

[Nifster]

Then I’m sure you are loving good old Joe

[Chgogal]

Bibi could not wait to congratulate Jihad Joe. I never forget. Neither should you,

[Chgogal]

In don’t blame Trump. Trump is the best POTUS Israel ever had.

[Nifster]

Telling the truth is NOT bashing anyone

[Just mythoughts]

These Trans-Republicans will never be what they claim to be ... just like the sorta -want-a-be girl, beer boy. His DNA will never ever say he is a girl ... and they worship the gods of science.

[Fury]

It’s not always about you, Mr President

Agreed. But he HAS to make it about him. It's his personality.

[forYourChildrenVote4Bush]

Many here have an admiration for trump no matter what he says

Many here have a blind support for trump. Anyways I hope to see him behind bars soon

[delchiante]

Peace and Prosperity in just 4 years under his watch has consequences..

America First worked.

Why didn’t Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama- Biden try it?

Maybe they wouldn’t look like traitors today

[Sirius Lee]

we get to see the posters whose heads are going to explode when Trump is the nominee for 2024.

Schwab's child molesting WEF cult is already melting down because Trump is trouncing dopey Joe in PA. A harbinger of good things to come.

[Zathras]

Trump again is hurting himself.
We need every vote we can get and attacking Bibi is NOT going to help him.

[Gaffer]

Whether you like it or not, Democrats are ALWAYS blaming Republicans for foreign failures when there is someone like Trump in office. That said, Biden deserves more than just mere kickback and talk about this failure of intelligence - make no mistake, whether you believe it or not the CIA et al are always involved with foreign affairs, intelligence and MEDDLING, period. It shouldn’t be that way, but it is. You should know that.

[Robert DeLong]

Of course she is.

While that is true about Bibi, it still plays no role in this discussion, because Trump was referencing the killing of Iranian General Soleimani, not Bibi's call to congratulate Biden as the article tries to imply, with hcmama & some others mentioning as a possible reason for trump's statement.

Pond scum DeSantis took 2 clips out oflt contect, in a gift to the left.
