Kelly: “We all love Trump, but let's be real, ... he can be flattered into thinking — yes, this is your idea, and it's a great one”

MEGYN KELLY (HOST): He [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] went on with Sean Hannity last night, and I'll show you the exchange, SOT 1.
(CLIP BEGINS)
SEAN HANNITY (FOX NEWS HOST) Now there are people that say, well, the prime minister of Israel dragged Donald Trump into it. And as somebody that's been friends with him over 30 years, nobody drags Donald Trump into anything, number one, but I want to get your reaction to that.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU (ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER): Well, you're right. I mean, that's ridiculous. Donald Trump is the strongest leader in the world. He does what he thinks is right for America. And we have to understand that we're fighting here.
We're fighting here the bad guys. We're the good guys.
(CLIP ENDS)
KELLY: I mean, the evil laugh is just right on brand there, but I just think, so — OK, they're setting it up such that — look.
Look, I'm just going to be honest. Hannity is a supplicant to Donald Trump. He would never say anything other than to puff Donald Trump up. And it's not — we all love Trump, but let's be real. Like, he can be flattered into thinking — yes, this is your idea, and it's a great one, and you're the leader of the free world, and we need you, Mr. President. Bibi's not dumb. He would know how to talk Trump into it, which is clearly what he did.
