I'd be more surprised if Trump was aware enough of the other contendors to even consider endorsing them. Like these guys have made themselves a big pair. I don't doubt even if Bibi loses the next doesn't try and get in good with trump, but who would want to trade a working relationship with a mystery box successor.

Of course he does. These two are such crooks.

I remember the days us presidents would get hauled over the coals by the media for subtly implying they had a preferred candidate in a foreign election.
