Trump: The Israeli President ‘Is Disgraceful’ for Not Giving Netanyahu a Pardon

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “But I can tell you he has been a very good wartime prime minister. He’s been very strong. We’ve worked with him very well. We had tremendous success with Iran and everything else we’ve done, and he really has been, he’s been, you know, extraordinary as far as a wartime prime minister. Not easy. And, you know, you have a president that refuses to give him a pardon. I think that man should be ashamed of himself, a pardon over this trial that’s going on. The president of Israel, the primary power, he’s got the power to give pardons and he’s not, you know, he said he’s given it five different times but he doesn’t want to do it because I guess he loses his power. I think the people of Israel should really shame him. He’s disgraceful for not giving it. He should give it. But Bibi has been a great wartime prime minister and I’ve been the best friend to Israel, I think that they’ve ever had. A lot of people say, beyond presidents, that they’ve ever had. And we will continue to be.”
