Donald Trump on Saturday again went to bat for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the foreign leader's trial.The president took to Truth Social over the weekend to vent his concerns."It is terrible what they are doing in Israel to Bibi Netanyahu. He is a War Hero, and a Prime Minister who did a fabulous job working with the United States to bring Great Success in getting rid of the dangerous Nuclear threat in Iran," Trump wrote. "Importantly, he is right now in the process of negotiating a Deal with Hamas, which will include getting the Hostages back. How is it possible that the Prime Minister of Israel can be forced to sit in a Courtroom all day long, over NOTHING (Cigars, Bugs Bunny Doll, etc.)."Trump then continued:"It is a POLITICAL WITCH HUNT, very similar to the Witch Hunt that I was forced to endure. This travesty of 'Justice' will interfere with both Iran and Hamas negotiations. In other words, it is INSANITY doing what the out-of-control prosecutors are doing to Bibi Netanyahu."Trump added, "The United States of America spends Billions of Dollar a year, far more than on any other Nation, protecting and supporting Israel.""We are not going to stand for this. We just had a Great Victory with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu at the helm — And this greatly tarnishes our Victory," Trump concluded. "LET BIBI GO, HE’S GOT A BIG JOB TO DO!"Read it here.
