Of All The Things That Didn’t Happen….

... thus didn’t happen the most.  The clue is in the outlet reporting it:
"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," Trump told Netanyahu, according to one U.S. official's summary of the remarks.

A second source said Trump was "p---ed" and at one point shouted: "What the f--- are you doing?"

The president's fury was reportedly driven by Netanyahu's escalation, threatening to derail his administration's delicate negotiations with Iran, which include a demand that Israel halt its bombardment of Lebanon. Trump warned Netanyahu that bombing Beirut would further isolate Israel internationally and pointed to his support during Netanyahu's corruption trial, telling the prime minister he'd helped keep him out of jail.

Israel abandoned its plans to strike Hezbollah targets in Beirut, an Israeli official told Axios. Trump later posted on Truth Social that the Iran talks were "continuing, at a rapid pace."

One U.S. official told Axios this was among Trump's worst calls with Netanyahu since returning to office. Another said Trump objected to Israel demolishing entire buildings to take out a single Hezbollah commander and was disturbed by the high civilian death toll.
And the blunt fact Trump U.S. a coward who would never speak harshly to another person to their face. Even his tag line on “The Apprentice” was staged and an act. He has other people deliver the bad news when someone needs to be dismissed from his employment. He wouldn’t dream of cursing out an equal. He might be frustrated with Netenyahu. He’d take that out on an underling.

And a man who has repeatedly threatened to destroy an entire civilization is not noticing what Israel is doing in Lebanon, anymore than he noticed what Israel did in Gaza.

This is a story Trump would like told about himself. It’s not something he would ever do.

Consider the source. And I don’t mean the usual unnamed “officials”.
