Democratic strategist and CNN commentator on Monday reacted to a report that President Donald Trump lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the continued occupation of Lebanon. “What the F are you doing? You’re F-ing 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 reportedly told Netanyahu on the call<\/a>. <\/p>\n

ERIN BURNETT, CNN HOST: But the Strait is closed, OK? And the economic pain is still coming. But now we’ve got a call, a reporting coming tonight. This is from Barak Ravidand Marc Caputo. Trump said to Netanyahu, apparently on a call today or over the weekend, about what was going on to Netanyahu. He says, “What the F are you doing? You’re F-ing 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.” Wow. What do you read into that? That’s in quotes. DAVID AXELROD, CNN: It doesn’t sound like a very friendly call. Look, I think that the president, his analysis is not wrong. Bibi Netanyahu has done tremendous damage, in my view, to Israel and to Israel’s standing in the world. And this war, I think what Trump’s really mad about, if you believe the reporting in The New York Times on this, and I do, Maggie Haberman’s reporting, Jonathan Swan, Bibi had a lot to do with talking the president into thinking this was a good idea. And that’s what he’s really mad about. What he’s mad about is Bibi has created a huge political problem for him because the economy is the thing that is on the minds of Americans. And he has made it worse, and he promised to make it better. And that was his calling card. He was Mr. Economy. And now their costs are going up, and we’re mired in this war. And there’s no way out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
