Trump to move US embassy to Jerusalem.

Another campaign promise kept. He has the balls to do it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/ampht...725_story.html

Stirring up more shit again. If everyone is against it Trump is for it.

Heads are exploding thru out Earth on what Trump just did.

Trump prolly has a number of reason to do this.

1. keeping his campaign promise.
2. Israel has defacto control of Jerusalem
3. divided cities have a poor history of surviving intact, division of a city all leads to war.
4. Palestinians have been negotiating in bad faith, hence the nos to all the treaty offers.
5. takes Jerusalem off the table as an issue.

as far as the Israel/Palestinian treaty, I think it is dead.

he says he will sign one more waiver extension to allow time to plan for the move to jerusalem.

I think the extension waiver is not necessary... but he's the potus.

Bush and Obama were for it but only Trump will do it.

Another campaign promise kept. He has the balls to do it.

This is just a move to create more chaos in the world which is what the Bannon people want, they are trying to destroy us and you fools keep going along with the lunacy.

There is NOTHING that Twitler does that's in the best interest of the American people or the world. Just him and his sensitive ego.

Watch and mark my words. He'll try to shift the responsibility for any action on this (or other of his ludicrous campaign promises) to anyone but himself.

Ask Mike Flynn.
