Behind the scenes: One U.S. official said Trump told Netanyahu that following through on his threats to bomb the Lebanese capital would further isolate Israel around the world.

Two of the sources said Trump claimed he'd helped keep Netanyahu out of jail — a reference to his support during Netanyahu's corruption trial.

Summarizing Trump's remarks to Netanyahu, the U.S. official said: "You're fucking crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this."

A second source briefed on the call said Trump was "pissed" and at one point yelled at Netanyahu: "What the fuck are you doing?"

1. I don't believe a word of this.

2. He wants Congress to end the war and pull his nuts out of the fire...

So he wants to blame Netanyahu.

It's never his fault.

3. Although he would really like to be, Netanyahu is not Putin or Chi or even Kim

And because of this dificiency (along with the whole ‘being a jew’ thing) TSF has very little real respect for him. Netanyahu is corrupt and morally diseased, traits that TSF admires, but Netanyahu lacks the power to be a true despot and he’s not totally cool like Putin or MBS.

That’s it really. Netanyahu is no longer sufficiently obsequious or useful to TSF anymore, and he keeps causing trouble. Plus, Trump has stated publicly now that he’s grown bored with the war. Add in the fact that Netanyahu didn’t even give him a cool peace prize or a gold jet and voila! Suddenly the milk has gone sour.
