Trump says he doesn't believe Israel is spying on U.S.

[left-of-center2012]

President Trump said Thursday he does not believe the Israeli government is spying on the United States. His remarks came after a news report said U.S. officials thought Israel had placed surveillance devices around Washington.

“I don’t think the Israelis are spying on us,” Trump told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House. “I really would find that hard to believe.”

Trump said he has a strong relationship with Israel, pointing to his administration’s policies on Iran, of which the Israeli government has been supportive. Trump later added that "anything is possible" but repeated that he doesn't believe it.

Politico reported earlier Thursday, citing anonymous former U.S. officials, that the government concluded in the last two years that Israel was likely responsible for the placement of cellphone spying devices commonly known as “Stingrays” around Washington. The report said that the Trump administration did not impose consequences on Israel over the revelations.

5. Say WHAT???!!!

I may not be thrilled to pieces with the Palestinian leadership, but I’m not fool enough to believe that the Israelis aren’t spying on the US. OF COURSE THEY ARE! That’s what competent foreign governments DO!

6. He's an even dumber Fuck that I previously thought.

So Israel put cellphone-spying devices around the White House. That's nothing--Vladimir Putin put a spying device right behind the Oval Office desk! (It even travels on Air Force One and goes to the golfing resorts every weekend!)

8. He's too chicken-shit of his evangelical base to say anything about their precious Beebee.
