Donald Trump asks why US should "suffer the slings" over Israel military aid
“and why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like an El-Sayed when they don’t need it?”
Reported November 3, 2026 by pjmedia.com. Checked word for word against that report.
Speaking on Fox News early Tuesday, Donald Trump said Washington would halt its decades-old direct military financing for Israel at the end of the year and move to a system in which Israel could obtain arms through technology exchanges or cash, the New York Times reported. Such aid has flowed since 1971, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has recently raised the idea of moving away from direct U.S. military support. Trump presented the assistance as unnecessary for Israel and questioned why the United States should absorb criticism from a named individual, El-Sayed, over the matter. The remarks came as voting began in the United States; Netanyahu’s office did not immediately respond, and he is working to assemble a government after an Israeli election last week that did not produce a clear winner.
