Trump Claims Israeli President Promised Pardon; Israeli President Denies Existence of Dimension Where That Happened

KEY POINTS

•Trump claimed on Monday that Israeli President Herzog promised a Netanyahu pardon, but Herzog denied any such conversation.
•Herzog's office explained the pardon request is still under procedure and no direct talks have occurred about it.
•Despite internal White House frustration, Trump praised Netanyahu and discussed Gaza and Iran issues during their Mar-a-Lago meeting.

In a Monday episode of 'Alternate Facts: International Edition,' President Trump confidently announced that Israeli President Isaac Herzog said a pardon for Benjamin Netanyahu was 'on its way,' despite Herzog's office releasing a statement almost immediately like a bad plot twist: no conversation ever happened. Trump called Netanyahu a 'wartime hero' deserving of an apocalyptic pardon while Herzog stuck to protocol like an exasperated teacher explaining to a kid that asking Trump to fax the pardon was 'still being processed.' Meanwhile, inside Mar-a-Lago’s gilded halls, Trump praised Netanyahu even as his own aides reportedly want to ghost him harder than a bad Tinder date, frustrated over Netanyahu’s slow-walking Gaza peace. Behind the scenes, Netanyahu hoped to pitch a hawkish Gaza strategy to Trump, while Trump warned Iran they'd get 'knocked the hell out of' if they stepped out of line — the worldwide diplomatic equivalent of a dad yelling at the neighbor’s kid from his recliner.

Watching Trump claim he got a pardon promise from Herzog without Herzog freaking answering is like ordering a pizza that never arrives but still tipping generously.
