Trump shares inflammatory video with crude reference to Netanyahu

[Kittens Are Jerks]

Donald Trump has shared inflammatory video content calling Benjamin Netanyahu a “deep, dark son of a b****” just weeks after the Israeli leader claimed the two had a “very friendly, warm” discussion about hostage negotiations and Syria policy.

The president-elect posted the clip to Truth Social featuring economist Jeffrey Sachs, who accuses Netanyahu of manipulating US foreign policy and orchestrating “endless wars” in the Middle East.

Yeah thanks for posting this, @Kittens Are Jerks. I wonder what Trumps motivation is for posting this massive U-Turn in Israeli support. I’m perplexed

Hi UT

 Obviously he doesn't walk silently with a big stick and walks loudly with a big shtick, Hamas is going to release the hostages before he takes office because he told them to. Iraq is going to fall to it's knees and beg for forgiveness , Putin will crumb before the glory of of the orange glow of god and the world will sigh in relief. Why take any of his babbling serious now as he can't do crap till he is sitting on the throne tp optional. lets wait and see what his team can do once he actually can do more than say words.

His motivation is anyone's guess. For all we know he didn't even watch the video he sent. But he does seem to have a propensity to vacillate depending on his mood or who's whispering in his ear at a given moment. At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter. Israel will continue to do what it has to do.

Perhaps his motivation for posting it,was to bring attention back to the situation?...

I fail to see how what he said was a "massive U-turn in Israeli support",that is really reaching right there lol

But,it gets people talking about the situation once again who haven't thought about it in months because..."Trump said".

"Trump said" is like one of the world's greatest magic tricks to bring something back into the spotlight 😆

If you read the piece with any care, you'll see that Trump said none of those things.  It was all said by Sachs.  I keep telling you guys, you have to watch what Orange Man Bad DOES not what he SAYS.  I will believe Trump has turned against Israel when he begins to treat them as Biden did.

It did include one statement that I recall Trump making as it became obvious he was going to lose his appeals on a stolen election:

"But when Trump lost the 2020 elections, he blasted Netanyahu for congratulating Biden, telling an Axios reporter: “I haven’t spoken to [the Israeli leader] since. **** him.”

That^ is Trump's outlook on people he thinks have betrayed him. Trump came through in a huge way for Israel between 2017-2020 and he expected more from Netanyahu.  He just didn't understand that Israel's leaders live in a world defined by Realpolitik and cannot break crucial alliances over an election.

HI And Then

No my comment was plain English so no need to translate it into something I didn't say or intend. No wonder people raging over nothing. Reality is he makes grand campaign promises that is how campaigns work he just happens to be a pro at being grand as he knows his faithful will blame his failure to deliver on everyone else.

Sounds like Trumps a bit of a scatter brain. So many Israelis and Jews were cheering Trump on during the election. I guess Trump has his own agenda

Nothing I said is untrue.  That is also par for the course.  Both sides fight to stop the other from succeeding.  You being butt-hurt over him being chosen as POTUS again is not my problem.  Toodles...

Huh! Biden has been the greatest friend Israel has had. No president would have given Israel a blank check to conduct its operations in Gaza, Yemen, Iran, Syria and Lebanon. You MAGA dudes just can’t accept Trump lives in Putin’s pocket and not Netanyahu’s.

[+and-then]

And you refuse to even acknowledge that Trump slammed him and Russia with more sanctions than any US president ever before.

Now, explain this away while continuing to lie about Orange Man Bad's ACTIONS.  What a brainwashed loser...

Maybe but it was not a translation of what I said and a deliberate misrepresentation of my intent. I am not butt hurt he is your problem not mine and if both sides do the same thing then it's kind of pointless to get defensive. The way I understand it is no matter who wins all citizens have the right to representation and not just you for the next 4 years.

The number of sanctions placed on Russia in the last 3 years is huge and Trump had nothing to do with them.

You really don't seem to approve of representative democracy.

Did MAGA oppose Biden's policies and try to impeach him? Yes they did.  There were at least 45% of the country opposed some of Biden's policies.  Did you want your representatives to just roll over and abandon your views?

Trump did not get quite 50% of the vote, but enough to win.  So I expect my representative to fight for the people of my district. We don't agree with Trump on everything, very little so far. 

I want The United States problems solved first.  MAGA told us continuously how f*kt the US was.  So now is your chance, winners.   Govern!    Make a plan and carry it out.  MAGA, Stop your incessant whining about how hard it is to actually fix a problem and do it.

It seems Netanyahu isn’t invited to Trumps inauguration. This is an incredible U-turn for someone that just weeks ago was dining and celebrating his election win with Netanyahu’s wife and son in Mar A Largo. 
 

A sudden change like this only means Trump has already been briefed by the Biden Administration which means Netanyahu has been a very bad boy. I wonder what that could mean

[godnodog]

i'm starting to think this is to scare those who Trump perceives as the enemy, the way he talks about or to its allies is absolutely dumb or genious (doubtfully) should leave others thinking "if he treats his allies like this how does he treat his enemies?"

You know as well as anyone else here that a POTUS isn't a king.  Ignoring the reality that the "sides" in DC fight like cats and dogs to stop the other side from keeping promises that would ensure them remaining in power is a simply truth in our system.  Spew your lame logic to someone willing to listen to it.  Childish rants no longer work on me.

I don't expect miracles, just an honest and mature effort. Forty six presidents, including DJT have faced similar issues and been able to make some progress for our common good. 

Donald Trump and MAGA say the US is a dumpster fire.  What makes it a dumpster fire? We have a right to expect this administration at least try to fix it. If they do not get cooperation from the Democrats, then they will have to use their own majorities in the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and White House.  Bless you heart, the Democrats are in a minority in both House and Senate and the Supreme Court, they cannot stop Trump.. 

Fix the costs of gas and groceries, fix the housing issues, face the problems that are  making US citizens lives miserable. Do you not face similar issues?  Doesn't MAGA buy eggs, gas, and pay rent? 

Come up with a better plan than Biden had for Israel and Ukraine.  "Hell to pay" does not constitute a plan. Spend some time on those.

 Talk about the problems, not Panama, Greenland, and Canada.  Propose some solutions and pay attention when people that know say tariffs and tax cuts may not be the answer.

How can you even talk about childishness when your leader is wasting time musing about changing the name to the Gulf of America instead of facing our problems?
