Trump Snaps Over Netanyahu Congratulating Biden on Victory: 'Fuck Him'



https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-tells-reporter-fck-benjamin-netanyahu-for-congratulating-joe-biden-on-his-victory



Donald Trump did not mince words when asked about his friendship with former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday. Trump told Israeli journalist Barak Ravid that after Joe Biden defeated him in the 2020 presidential election, “Bibi could have stayed quiet. He made a terrible mistake.” He then lambasted his former ally for being disloyal. “He was very early. Like earlier than most. I haven’t spoken to him since,” Trump said. “Fuck him.”

Trump then congratulated himself for helping Netanyahu, who is now leading the opposition while he also faces corruption charges. “Nobody did more for Bibi. And I liked Bibi. I still like Bibi,” Trump said. “But I also like loyalty. The first person to congratulate Biden was Bibi. And not only did he congratulate him, he did it on tape. And it was on tape.”

… leave a powerful position because of a piddly thing like a national election is not just anathema but inconceivable. Like, why would you even do that?

Before becoming POTUS, the only job he’d ever had was being Trump, and he inherited that, the way a prince becomes king. In fine medieval fashion he bumped off the rivals in his family. There is no Board that can unseat him, and he can’t be got rid of short of death.

Bibi, on the other hand, is a politician to his marrow. We may not like him much here at DU, but a politician he is — elected, and now un-elected, and back home cooking something else up, not hanging around whining and throwing tantrums.

Trump is an embarrassment.
