๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ฑ A new book lays out just how BRUTALLY Trump strong armed Netanyahu into the Iran deal...
Per "Regime Change" by NYT reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, Trump told the Israeli leader he was sick of his antics, reminded him he had done everything to protect him, and insisted he could not back out:
"Iโve done everything to protect you. You better fucking go along with this.
Itโs been going on for too fucking long.
Everybodyโs sick of you, Bibi. All the Jews are sick of you. Even the two Jews on this call are sick of you. You canโt
back out of this. Iโm the best friend Israel ever had. Everybody hates you, and Iโve stood by you.
Iโm telling you, this is a great deal for Israel."
The "you'll be on your own" warnings were the polite, public version.
This is reportedly what it sounded like behind the door.
Trump didn't persuade Netanyahu into the deal, he steamrolled him, invoking everything he'd spent protecting him as the debt that was now coming due.
It settles the question that ran the whole war. For 118 days the mystery was whether Trump controlled Netanyahu or the reverse.
A president screaming "you can't back out of this" down the phone is not a man being led.
