According to New York Post, Trump has also confirmed that he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “f****** crazy” during a Monday phone call, but insisted they have “worked very well together”.

Asked during the ‘Pod Force One’ interview if the Axios report was true and whether he spoke to Netanyahu in those terms, Trump replied, “I did. I wouldn’t say angry. I was a little bit perturbed at his constantly fighting with Lebanon.

“At some point, I said Bibi, we’re gonna stop this. We got to stop it,” he added.

At the same time, Trump said, “But I have a very good relationship. […] We’ve worked very well together. I like Bibi a lot. And I work very well with him,” Trump insisted after confirming his expletive-laden outburst demanding that Netanyahu cease attacks.

“I’m a wartime president,” the commander in chief said. “He’s a wartime prime minister.”
