Trump cut off contact with Netanyahu: Israeli media citing official

english.almayadeen.net

"Israel's" Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer, a close ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reportedly spoke “with his usual arrogance” to senior Republican officials, detailing what US President Donald Trump “must do", according to Yanir Cozin, a diplomatic correspondent for Israeli Army Radio, who cited a senior Israeli official.

However, Dermer’s approach appears to have backfired. Trump’s inner circle reportedly told him that “Netanyahu is manipulating the American president,” a characterization that did not sit well with Trump.

The cited official noted that “Trump hates nothing more than appearing to be manipulated.”

It is so weird that orangeboi’s categorically idiotic approach to negotiation and incredibly egotistic fragility are actually yielding some stopped-clock moments.

The cited official noted that “Trump hates nothing more than appearing to be manipulated.”
This perception, according to the correspondent's post on X, prompted Trump to cut off contact with Netanyahu, a situation that could potentially shift in the future but remains in effect for now.
It'll be hilarious if Trump actually forces the ceasefire that Biden wouldn't. Leave it to a little man with a narcissistic personality to notice that Netanyahu's been taking advantage of us. Fuck zionists.

Silly zionist idiots, all you had to do is promise him a Trump branded casino-hotel-resort-steakhouse and you could have gotten whatever you wanted out of him.

The guy is manipulated by everyone he has contact with.
- It's not hard, the guy has the intellect, temperament and reasoning skill of a toddler. And dealing with someone like that with that level of power, and psychopathy, it wouldn't surprise me if it feels safer to manipulate him than to work honestly with him. The only difference is world leaders are less exposed to danger by pissing off trump.

Hah, stupid dummies made the simplest mistake in the book. With a baby like Trump, you can't make demands. If you try to make demands, he'll feel like he's not a big powerful man, and he'll try and reassert his control over the situation immediately. All the smart world leaders know that the way you manipulate Trump is by gassing him up and convincing him that he came up with your idea, so it must be the most bigly and incredible idea of all time.
- I had a boss like this. Every so often when we had something that needed to be done I'd remind him of his previous idea (which didn't exist) that we all thought was so good and he's the bestest and smartest manager ever.
  It was so easy to get whatever I wanted done.
- This guy manipulates morons.

A breakdown of US-Israel relations may actually be a net positive for the world.
- Never happening.
- May?
  
  It should be. Don't know what type or tantrum Israel would throw though. It would also embolden Iran which could come with other problems.

Pssh. Amateurs.
The trick to manipulating an idiot like Trump, is to make him think he's manipulating you.

Lmao it took exactly two waterlogged jets for president big boy to peace out and start ignoring the knesset's calls

Something something broken clocks.
I really hope this is credible (not in mediate misuse of the word), because while there's plenty of grim developments ongoing, this bit is good.

He wants his piece of Gaza.

Vladimir would like to have a word.
