Trump “Was Angry About Netanyahu Congratulating Biden on Election Win”

By Staff, Agencies

Former US President Donald Trump reacted angrily to then-Zionist Prime Benjamin Netanyahu congratulating Democrat Joe Biden upon his electoral victory in early November 2020, a new book claimed.

A copy of the book titled "Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency" was obtained by the news outlet Forward, which quoted author Michael Wolff as saying that Netanyahu's congratulations were "startling to [the 45th president's] aides, however much they were anticipating an eruption, that Trump's wrath fell on Bibi Netanyahu."

Wolff claimed the then-POTUS told his aides that Netanyahu's tweet came before "the ink was dry" and was the "ultimate betrayal."

"As in all Trump reactions, a variety of grievances welled up here. There was his belief that he had singularly done more for ‘Israel’ than any American president — and that therefore he was owed. And now sold out," the journalist wrote in the book, due to be published on 13 July.
