“You know that I am not a person who breaks promises,” Trump told an Israeli newspaper just last week when asked about the embassy move.

To voters? To one’s fellow man? To God? Does it really matter?

In business, one’s word is one’s bond.

Trump is not a politician - that’s why he’s President today.

I remember a Republican candidate named Donald Trump telling the audience at an MMSNBC town hall event in February 2016 that he was going to have the U.S. adopt a more "neutral" stance in the Middle East between Israel and the Palestinians. LOL.

I guess it helps to be all over the map on any given issue, so you can always say you "kept your word" to somebody.

Wow! This will definitely make things interesting!

Sounds like Trump LEARNED a lot more about just who the Palestinians are and what they ultimately want.

So now the deal is that they take Israel’s terms, or they can stuff it...and I think they’ll take Israel’s terms.

A lot of ‘leaks’ that it will be the embassy move announcement. Sean Spicer is trying to walk back the embassy move. No doubt this is a big battle inside Administration. Too many Priebus-type insiders for there not to be.

Trump’s position on abortion evolved over time. He appears to be a man of reason. I suspect his position on Israel has evolved too.

At the age of 70 -- in the midst of a campaign for President of the United States?

You make him sound as shallow and ignorant as they describe him at Democratic Underground. LOL.

I'm as big a supporter of Donald Trump as anyone here on FreeRepublic. He's actually the first political candidate I've ever supported financially.

But unlike a lot of his sycophants here and elsewhere, I recognize him for what he is. I know that he's been all over the map on every issue under the sun, and I know damn well that his administration needs to be kept under close scrutiny at all times.

Here's my sense:

1. The U.S. is eventually going to move its embassy to Jerusalem.

2. We are probably not going to do this on our own.

3. It will likely be used as a benchmark in the negotiations to partition Jerusalem and the West Bank.

...no, the Middle East is not something you learn about if you’re busy building the Manhattan Skyline and spending 15 minutes a day reading the New York Times.

...but it is something you learn about, in detail, as you run for office.

(but nice try, trying to pawn your hatred of Trump off on me)
