Ann Coulter: Why Isn’t Netanyahu On TV Supporting Trump?
Right-wing talking head Ann Coulter questioned why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu didn’t stand up for President Trump after the president’s prime-time address from the Oval Office, in which he tried to convince Congress to fund a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
“CNN’s John King wants to know why GOP governors aren’t rushing onto TV to support Trump. I want to know why Netanyahu isn’t,” she tweeted Tuesday night.

A report from the research firm Twiplomacy found in July that Netanyahu’s most retweeted tweet of all time was one that praised Trump’s wall plan.
President Trump is right. I built a wall along Israel’s southern border. It stopped all illegal immigration. Great success. Great idea ????
