Well, I’m sure there will be plenty of money coming in from the new tax plan for this well thought out publicity stunt. And the wall. Fortunately, we’re not fighting an ongoing international war and no natural disasters will occur, because we might not be able to cover that.

The officials said recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital will be an acknowledgement of “historical and current reality” rather than a political statement
The problem being, of course, that in TrumpWorld® historical and current reality are fantasies constructed to assuage Trump’s bloated ego and have nothing to do with reality as experienced by the vast majority of the world’s population.

He so desperately wants his war.
So he announces this today, the Muslim world goes ballistic tomorrow…I bet he’s threatening nukes by next week.

Religious leaders who claim to"KNOW" the word of god are the biggest threat to this planet than anything. A religious war to usher in the second coming isn’t up to mankind’s actions ,after all god ain’t that obvious or simplistic, right. Even an old jewish atheist can figure THAT out!
So once again he’s not actually doing anything, he’s just bluffing and talking about what a great thing he did (which he didn’t actually do).
And it’s pissing everyone off because, as usual, it sends the wrong signals and is a tone-deaf piece of bad optics.
Way to go, Dumblefuck. You blew it again.
What’s that make him, now…0-196 on the year for good decisions?

The president isn’t planning to use the phrase “undivided capital,”
That’s assuming he stays on script. If he wanders, as he is wont to do, Trump’s Razor predicts he will ramble and blurt the most inflammatory cliches conceivable.
“and did you see how bigly I won? Everyone is talking about my Biglyest Electoral Victory ever, and how I won by more Real Person Votes than anyone ever!”
Members of Native American tribes are fully citizens, have every right of every other citizen. Many tribes have semi autonomous reservations that are on an,cestral lands. Navajo, Hopi, Apache and many others. Where I live in Tucson we have the Tohono O’Odham Nation south of town. It is not a small destitute reservation.
The point here is there are millions of stateless Palestinians in Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and other countries who deserve inclusion into Israel but are denied that. They re refugees. I am no kind if fan of trump. He just injects chaos and incompetence everywhere he turns. And as I said in my earlier post my small idea will never see the light of day so all it is …is a thought experiment.
3 weeks from the announcement: In response to whatever attacks and violence Trump causes, Israel will have mobilized its tanks and army, taken more of the Gaza Strip, killed over 100 Palestinians (mostly children), instituted a new embargo and further attenuated the Palestinian’s access to food, medical supplies and resources like electricity or even fresh water. Meanwhile, Bibi will be announcing a new settlement plan/development deal next week. Hey, maybe Trump can land himself Trump Tower Gaza…
Count on The Guardian for a great perspective. Thanks!
Like Putin, Donald has no place for religion. It’s a useful tool, but its judgmental nature grates on him. Religion is a constricting annoyance, like law, but it’s easier to con.
