President Donald Trump shared some insight into the process of building the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem when he was president, highlighting an important 2016 campaign promise that he fulfilled during his first term in office.
“We built the embassy in four months…we not only improved it…but we also GOT IT BUILT,” he declared to a packed house of Republican supporters in Lee County, Florida. “…We had the best location – we had a beautiful, beautiful building.”
Trump officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel when he was president, and he famously brokered the historic Abraham Accords, which brought peace to the Middle East.
He added that the Biden administration “blew it” with the Iran nuclear deal and allowed the hostile country “to get away with all the things that they’re doing.”
In his remarks, President Trump touched on the economy, Covid, and his work rebuilding the U.S. military. He facetiously added that the country did not need “bullshit” artists as the nation has careened toward chaos and global war since he left office.
Donald Trump kept a promise that he made, something his predacessors failed to do!
Rex Tillerson tried to convince the President that an embassy in Israel’s capital would cost hundreds of millions of dollars and take years.
“Rex Tillerson tried to convince the President that an embassy in Israel’s capital would cost hundreds of millions of dollars and take years.”
...and that the “Palestinian Street” would erupt with incredible violence.
Kind of a racist view of Palestinians, if you think about it.
Promises made. Promises kept.
Promise, yes. Also US law. Passed by Congress, signed into law by President Clinton. Ignored by three Presidents who ignore inconvenient laws.
Indeed.
