Trump didn't seem to have complete understanding of Jerusalem decision: report
By Rebecca Savransky - 12/07/17 07:16 AM EST


President Trump did not completely grasp the ramifications of recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital, several advisers told The Washington Post.

Trump wanted to seem "pro-Israel" and focused on "making a deal," two advisers told the Post.

According to the newspaper, some administration officials voicing their support for the decision included Vice President Mike Pence and adviser Jared Kushner, who is also Trump's son-in-law.

Others, though, advocated against the move, including Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.

1. Trump didn't seem to have complete understanding of.....anything.

2. Good God. What deal was he making? nt

3. Trumputin doesnt have a clue

Regarding policy.

He understands politically how to motivate his base, but not much else.

I think Putin is behind recognizing Jerusalem. It diminishes the US as a world leader.

4. This is bullshit

An 8 yr old knows that this is stupid and can explain why.

Republican God-King Trump and his band of racist and pedophile Christian Taliban want to end the world so their God-King trump can go rule heaven and stop all that liberal Democrat crap like “help the poor and sick”.

5. Trump's supposedly fundamental

belief is America First. How in any way does this decision advance that directive?

I would hope someone asks him about it at some point.

6. You're right

The report was superfluous. Trump can't get anything right! (We can't take him anywhere.)

7. I suspect tRump has a checklist of campaign promises.

He see this as a Trump "win" for benefit of the base, consequences be damned and I suspect his so-called spiritual advisers were calling for this.

Let's also remember that his advisers are afraid to cross him on anything he takes a notion to do.

10. It's not like he hasn't had plenty of time to find out since he floated this the first time.

Oh wait, yes he has, and the exact same things were said then. Perhaps if he spent some of that massive amount time he devotes to golf, Fox infotainment programs and tweeting to learn the things a president needs to know... Nah, he'd probably do this bog stupid nonsense anyway.

11. Because...

Jared... because... czarina.
