After complaining on Fox "News" last night that Israel's Netanyahu "let us down" before a 2020 strike that killed a top Iranian general, the Malignant Loser elaborated:
...Trump, the clear polling leader in the Republican presidential race, complimented the intelligence of Hezbollah, which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States. The Iran-aligned group, based in Lebanon, exchanged fire with Israeli forces on the country’s northern border Wednesday.
“You know, Hezbollah is very smart,” Trump said. “They’re all very smart.”
That remark drew condemnation from one of his Republican rivals, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“It is absurd that anyone, much less someone running for President, would choose now to attack our friend and ally, Israel, much less praise Hezbollah terrorists as ‘very smart,’ ” DeSantis said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Trump’s comments reflected his long-established pattern of slighting U.S. allies while complimenting adversaries such as Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un...
In summary, paraphrasing others: Hezbollah is a dumb person's idea of "smart."
BONUS: There's the beginning of some fallout in Israel.
