The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

Trump's tone-deaf comments are a liability to not only himself but to the Republican Party as a whole. While he praises militant groups like Hezbollah, his congressional allies on Capitol Hill are hindering the US' ability to help its closest ally in the Middle East. This is not the look of a competent leader or political party.

Pro-Trump narrative

Context is everything, which is why it's deceptive to quote only one word out of an entire speech Trump gave. Trump was responding to Biden officials' careless comments, rightly saying it can't be assumed that Hezbollah is dumb and wouldn't attack a vulnerable part of Israel. He was simply acknowledging the failures of both US and Israeli intelligence, not patting terrorist groups on the back.
