Stirring up more shit again. If everyone is against it Trump is for it.

[dilbert firestorm]

Heads are exploding thru out Earth on what Trump just did.

Trump prolly has a number of reason to do this.

1. keeping his campaign promise.
2. Israel has defacto control of Jerusalem
3. divided cities have a poor history of surviving intact, division of a city all leads to war.
4. Palestinians have been negotiating in bad faith, hence the nos to all the treaty offers.
5. takes Jerusalem off the table as an issue.

as far as the Israel/Palestinian treaty, I think it is dead.

he says he will sign one more waiver extension to allow time to plan for the move to jerusalem.

I think the extension waiver is not necessary... but he's the potus.

Bush and Obama were for it but only Trump will do it.

What does it matter what trump says about Jerusalem, it accomplishes nothing at all other than creating more violence. It would be like Jerusalem declaring Toledo the capital of the United States, who cares nothing changes cause it’s what the people that live there think.

This is just a move to create more chaos in the world which is what the Bannon people want, they are trying to destroy us and you fools keep going along with the lunacy.

It happens to be US law:

Other Presidents merely signed waivers because they didn’t have to balls to do it. And Obama’s gave Israel a major fuck job on his way out of office.

It'll never happen. Twitler is simply being an asshole.

He figures if he tweets something about these things then he's done his part to fulfill his outrageous and ambiguous campaign promises. Then he's off the hook.

There is NOTHING that Twitler does that's in the best interest of the American people or the world. Just him and his sensitive ego.

Watch and mark my words. He'll try to shift the responsibility for any action on this (or other of his ludicrous campaign promises) to anyone but himself.

Ask Mike Flynn.
