But why would Trump care about that? Laws are to be changed. No Congress is bound by the congress before it and treaties can be broken.

Trump says he wants to broker a deal in the ME. If he unilaterally moves our Embassy to Jerusalem, any prospect for a deal would be dead. The US would be going against UN resolutions it has signed on the status of Jerusalem. It would polarize the region even more including our allies like Jordan and Saudi Arabia as well as the EU If the truth be known, Israel would not want us to make such a move unilaterally. And there are increased security risks for our personnel and the facility.

As I stated, there is already a law on the books mandating the move, but Congress gave the President a wavier for a reason. It is all a kabuki dance for domestic consumption. Anyone who knows anything about the region, and I do, realizes that the US will not unilaterally move our Embassy to Jerusalem thus declaring it part of Israel.

The first time Trump went to AIPAC a few months ago, he said he would not move the embassy to Jerusalem. He took some heat for it, especially because Cruz said he would. Trump did the right thing last time and did not pander. This time he did. Again, I can assure you that if he gets into the WH, and I hope he will, he will not move our Embassy to Jerusalem unilaterally.

What other wishful ideas do you have?

I tried to educate you on the issue. I failed.

There will be no such thing as a piece deal between Israel and the Koranimals, sorry. Go to bed holding your Cruz doll and it might be better by the morning.
