Trump said: “And then two nights ago, I read all of Biden security people — can you imagine? National defense people and they said, ‘Gee, I hope Hezbollah doesn’t attack from the north because that’s the most vulnerable spot.’ I said, 'Wait a minute. You know, Hezbollah is very smart. They’re all very smart.'”

This is the guy who blabbed top

secrets all over the place complaining that Biden administration officials describing an obvious concern were giving terrorists ideas.

…Speaking to supporters in Florida, he described as "very smart" the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah which, like Hamas in Gaza, is backed by Iran. "You know, Hezbollah is very smart,” Trump said. "They’re all very smart." …In his speech, Trump said he was disclosing for the first time that Israel decided at the last minute not to take part in the U.S. assassination of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, killed in Iraq in a drone strike on Jan. 3, 2020, ordered by Trump. …"I'll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down. That was a very terrible thing," Trump said, using Netanyahu's nickname.

Whoa. Trump just attacked Israel and said that he'll "never forget" that they didn't participate in the Soleimani operation. He said Israel "let us down" and needs to "straighten it out" and called them weak, saying they should "strengthen themselves up."

In the video clip from X, Trump also calls Hamas smart — while condemning them too.

And only he can fix this, right?

I am not holding my breath waiting for his cult to reject him over this. Hell — they admire Putin for being a strong leader. You can hear admiration in Trump’s voice — and envy. He’d love to be able to do to his enemies what Hamas did to Israel.

The other thing that stands out in this is that Trump can only think about it terms of how it relates to him and his grudge with Bibi. Israel? They’re losers and he doesn’t like losers.
