Donald Trump mocked an Israeli official tonight for warning of a Hezbollah attack from the north.

Trump starts out talking about Biden officials but then he switches to Israel, taking aim at Netanyahu’s ‘National Defense Minister’ for allegedly saying “I hope Hezbollah doesn’t attack us from the north.” That was Trump’s characterization of his comments, but it may be accurate.

Trump then proceeds to call National Defense Minister Yoav Gallant a ‘jerk’, suggesting his comment was the reason Hezbollah attacked from the north.

Watch the clip for yourself:

First of all I don’t really buy what some are saying, that Trump was praising Hezbollah in saying that they are “smart.” He’s just saying that, in this scenario, they aren’t idiots.

But that said, Trump’s entire comment is really nonsensical. As Dave Reaboi suggests, where does he think Hezbollah would attack from? They are on the northern border in Lebanon. Of course, if they want to attack, it will come from the north.

Honestly, I really think Trump is just using this comment from Gallant to attack Netanyahu indirectly. Trump is pissed that Netanyahu didn’t participate in an attack on Solemani AND that Bibi congratulated Biden on winning the 2020 election. So now he’s using this comment as a way to go after Netanyahu.

But what bothers me most about Trump’s rant is that he’s going after Israel at a time when they have been under attack from a vicious and brutal enemy which loathes their very existence. Hamas massacred more than 1,200 Israelis in the most atrocious of ways, and Trump picks this time to indirectly attack Netanyahu? What the hell Trump? What the hell?

 
UPDATE: This clip just shows how pissed Trump is at Netanyahu, where he attacks him directly:

Again, there’s a time and a place, and this is neither. Trump just needs to stop talking.
