Responding to Trump’s description of Hezbollah as “very smart”—as well as to his criticism of US and Israeli officials for warning of a potential Hezbollah attack on Israel from the north—White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement that the former president’s remarks were “dangerous and unhinged.” He added: “It’s completely lost on us why any American would ever praise an Iran-backed terrorist organization as ‘smart.
