In a wide-ranging interview in the Roosevelt Room, President Donald Trump sat down with Miranda Devine for her Pod Force One podcast and spoke openly about several pressing issues.
The Heated Call with Benjamin Netanyahu
One of the most striking moments came when Trump confirmed reports about a recent phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He acknowledged using strong language, telling Devine he said something along the lines of, “Bibi, are you effing crazy? What are you f'n doing?”
Trump explained that he was “a little bit perturbed” by Netanyahu’s continued military actions against Lebanon and Hezbollah. He pushed for restraint to avoid complicating broader regional negotiations, particularly around Iran. At the same time, Trump emphasized that he and Netanyahu still work well together overall. He described himself as a “wartime president” and Netanyahu as a “wartime prime minister,” noting they have a strong relationship despite the blunt exchange. Trump also pushed back against claims that Netanyahu had tricked him into any actions regarding Iran, calling such suggestions nonsense pushed by political opponents.Other Key Topics
Trump touched on the ongoing situation with Iran, sharing his assessment of how the conflict might unfold and expressing openness to direct talks. He mentioned interest in potentially meeting Iran’s Mojtaba Khamenei (often referred to in the episode as the “Gay Ayatollah”) and said the two sides are getting along quite well in negotiations so far.
On the domestic political front, he discussed his working relationship with Senate Majority Leader John Thune. He weighed in on whether Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would make a strong Attorney General. He also floated a potential dream 2028 ticket pairing Marco Rubio and JD Vance, calling them both highly talented and a formidable team.Finally, Trump pushed back on Jill Biden’s accounts of the infamous presidential debate, saying he simply doesn’t believe those stories.
