Trump Caught On A Hot Mic Throwing A Baby Fit And Demanding Credit
Trump was caught on a hot mic during a meeting, whining to Netanyahu and demanding credit for ending wars that he didn't really end.

Trump had allowed reporters into his lunch with Netanyahu to get some photos, and he didn’t realize that his microphone was on.
The president said:
