The Magnificent Seven
President Trump said that his 2017 decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem and recognize the city as the capital of Israel was done for evangelical Christians, the Times of Israel reports.
Said Trump: “And we moved the capital of Israel to Jerusalem. That’s for the evangelicals.”
He added: “You know, it’s amazing with that — the evangelicals are more excited by that than Jewish people. That’s right, it’s incredible.”
