Israel

  Similar to the Trump presidency, this is not going to end well.

NY Times: U.S. to Recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s Capital, Trump Says, Alarming Middle East Leaders By MARK LANDLER and DAVID M. HALBFINGER
President Trump plans to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the American Embassy there, upending nearly seven decades of American foreign policy and potentially destroying his efforts to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

It was almost predictable that Donald's growing desperation as Mueller closes in would have him acting more and more unhinged. This ill-considered act won't, however, divert Mr. Mueller. Maybe, Trumpf is hoping to use it as another diversion to hide behind? If so it might give him a few more days or a week of chaos.

After I read this, I honestly am thinking Trump is going to get us into a war. This is almost a request for a was or terrorist attack that would lead to a war. If Mueller somehow doesn't convince America that Trump must go now, we are in for a few very harsh years. Trump will be emboldened even more if Mueller shoots blanks.
