On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced he would submit an official proposal to name a new community on the Golan Heights after President Donald Trump.
"I’m here on the beautiful Golan Heights," Netanyahu began in a video. "All Israelis were deeply moved when President Trump made his historic decision to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Therefore, after the Passover holiday, I intend to bring to the government a resolution calling for a new community on the Golan Heights named after President Donald J. Trump."
Indeed, last month Trump called on the U.S. to formally recognize Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights after 55 years. Israel took the western two-thirds of the Golan Heights in 1967 during the Six-Day War. The region has been a hotbed for battles in the Syrian Civil War. Israelis built settlements on the Golan Heights, which the U.N. condemned in 1981. The region is critical for Israel and the stability of the Middle East.
On March 25, Trump formally recognized Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
Ever since Trump announced that the U.S. would consider Jerusalem the capital of Israel and would move the U.S. Embassy to that city, Netanyahu and Israeli leaders have honored the president in various ways.
In 2017, Israel's transportation minister announced that the train station for the Western Wall would be named after Trump. In remarks last March, Netanyahu compared President Trump to the ancient Persian King Cyrus the Great and to Lord Balfour, who issued the proclamation establishing the state of Israel.
"I want to tell you that the Jewish people have a long memory. So we remember the proclamation of the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King," Netanyahu said.

Trumpsylvania? Trumpville? Trumpton?
Liberal heads explode around the world.
Good!, Now show some intestinal Fortitude and Rename ALL your Sewage Treatment Plants after OBAMA!!! and your Landfills after Hillary.
Despite all his faults, Trump has proven himself to be both the most pro-Israel and pro-Life president ever. He puts Bush and yes even Reagan to shame.
Welcome to Fort Trump, Gateway to the Mid East.

President Trump
I hate that formulation. Absolutely hate it. Other than infants and children under the age of 5, who among us is without faults? This President has far, far more positive qualities than negative ones. Certainly far more positive than all the baying critics snapping at him 24x7x365.
It seems that President Nixon saved Israel during the 1973 Arab–Israeli War:
“Nixon got his airlift: “Operation Nickel Grass.” Over the course of the airlift 567 missions were flown, delivering over 22,000 tons of supplies, and an additional 90,000 tons were delivered to Israel by sea. Later in her life, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir would admit that upon hearing of the airlift during a cabinet meeting, she began to cry.”
“Despite all his faults...”

Repeat and repeat ad infinitum.
I AGREE! It makes me sick to see continually every positive comment about our president qualified downwards with “in spite of his faults.” It is beyond disgusting!!!!!
But, it’s what they do in this case. And, we have 6+ years to put up with it.
As Instapundit often says.. Worst Nazi President Ever!
Naught Zee.
As I typed the response to you it suddenly dawned on me why the left keeps saying that. “He is ‘Naught Zee’ president we wanted.” Doh! Why did it take me so long?
Golan Trump? How about Golden Trump with golden bathrooms. Then, you can take real “golden showers”.
West Virginia named everything after Robert KKK Bryd.
NO! We do NOT have to put up with it. We need to get on the OFFENSIVE and stay there. Enough of being too nice. You don’t score points on defense, you score them when you’re on OFFENSE. Shove their lies down their throats with every breath and eventually they will get tired of being constantly under attack. The grand majority of the lefties are big cowards. Their actions prove it.
