I can't tell if that's a thinly veiled threat, or a thank you for the assist.

Seems like a threat to me.

What is the chance that there is something in it to help them spy on trump ?

100%

I just realizedā¦ this is one of the pagers of power!
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
Through the ring of the pagers does the darkness lie.

Fingers crossed it works like the ones that killed all those hamas folk.

Am I the only one who interpets this as Netanyahu saying 'when I page, you answer'?
Cause thats humiliating for Trump.

I know that the people in power don't care, but this is literally directly constitutionally illegal.
Not only is the gift illegal, Trump can't even use it because of security issues.
It's just rediculous all around.
probably more of a memento of "look what we did with pagers/radios"
You really think he is not using his personal phone to post on truth social?
Itās literally not constitutionally illegal.
I've added some bold to a word that's relevant here.
It's actually commonplace for foreign leaders to give gifts to US Presidents. These gifts are not personal gifts and are actually owned by the US government. Some of these gifts wind up in a Presidential library.
They can't take this stuff home with them as that would be illegal. Of course Trump does take stuff home with him that belongs to the US government, but that's the illegal part, not the accepting of the gift.
Fun Fact: Justin Trudeau (really Canada's ministry of foreign affairs) gave Trump a nicely framed photo of a hotel Trump's grandfather owned in the Yukon. That hotel was actually a brothel. The Trump family... keeping it classy for generations.
