You will notice that he won the 2016 presidential election by running a campaign in which he never even mentioned this issue. I challenge anyone to find me a Trump TV ad, internet streaming ad, or campaign rally speech where he even mentions anything related to Israel, Palestine, etc.
I think I'm on pretty safe ground here when I suggest that no more than 5% of Trump's supporters -- and probably close to 0% in the Rust Belt swing states that delivered him the election -- even give a sh!t about any of this.
There are more links. This was an issue for many people, maybe not for you.
He talked a lot about it. You better believe that anyone that cares for Israel voted for Trump, and it was a very large reason they did. Your assumptions are just flat out WRONG.

While I agree with the opinions on this thread that the State Dept. has no policy implementation obligation to the new administration until Jan. 20, Trump was very clear during the campaign that he planned to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and that he would move the Embassy there. Examples:

There are many articles documenting Trump’s stance. Don’t know how you could be so ignorant as to make your statement.
