"There's a strong case that's been made by some that Sheldon Adelseon, the dual Israeli citizen who was Trump's biggest donor, was behind Trump's decision to move their embassy, for example."

There's a strong case that you are just plain perpetually ignorant, bEagle. Trump rejected RJC money to their faces at Adelson's AIPAC on Dec. 3, 2015. Meanwhile, Adelson had already met with Tedlim in November of 2014, and "hosted a lunch for Cruz later with about a dozen of some of the country's biggest Jewish donors".

On January 19, 2016, in an interview with The Brody File, future President Trump said “I am for that one hundred percent. We are for that 100%...” (after Brody noted the) move of the embassy to Jerusalem is a “tier-A issue for Evangelicals as it relates to support for Israel.”

Adelson at that point had not met with anyone the way he met with Cruz, and did not endorse future President Trump until he won the nomination in May of 2016.

It didn't have a damn thing to do with Adelson, it had to do with doing what was right! If you are any kind of Christian, Jerusalem is the capital of Israel: once, always, future!

President Trump, as is Stephen Miller's way, explained how the history of the recognition was long overdue, and not anything to do with a donor, and not anything to do with your dumb l0ser, auto-flaming, self-pwning Freeptard "opinion", bEagle:

"In 1995, Congress adopted the Jerusalem Embassy Act, urging the federal government to relocate the American embassy to Jerusalem and to recognize that that city — and so importantly — is Israel’s capital. This act passed Congress by an overwhelming bipartisan majority and was reaffirmed by a unanimous vote of the Senate only six months ago." -- President Donald J. Trump

A leading question from a reporter is hardly a firm policy. It was years later before anything happened, even with Adelson offering to pay for the move himself.

Trump even sold the old US Ambassador’s home to Adelson.
