Everyone Hates Netanyahu
Trump is reportedly turning on Israel and Netanyahu after a military plan didn't go as easily as he hoped — a sign of strain in the US-Israel relationship.
- Trump expected a quick, cheap win like Venezuela and a hero's welcome, but it didn't happen.
- Now he's angry at Israel and is said to be blaming Netanyahu for the failure.
- Marco Rubio was sent out to publicly distance the US from Israel's actions.
- Trump has long disliked Netanyahu personally, and that dislike has gotten worse.
- He's also blaming the advisers around him who backed his bad instincts.
Outlook: US-Israel tensions look set to grow as Trump keeps shifting blame instead of owning the outcome.
