Donald Trump said he would move the US Embassy to Jerusalem.
“They want it in Jerusalem,” the front-runner among Republican presidential candidates said in an interview posted Tuesday by The Brody File, a Christian Broadcasting Network show. “Well I am for that 100 percent. We are for that 100 percent.”
David Brody, the CBN journalist, had asked Trump whether he agreed with GOP rivals, including Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who have pledged to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem once elected.
Trump’s agreement seemed to be an about-face from remarks in December at the Republican Jewish Coalition, when the real estate magnate refused to commit to recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s undivided capital.
Speaking over boos at that event, Trump said it was foolish to harden positions ahead of talks.
“You can’t go in with the attitude ‘we’re gonna shove it down your,’ you’ve got to go in and get it and do and do it nicely, so that everybody’s happy,” he said there.
Congress passed a law in 1995 mandating the move of the embassy to Jerusalem, but allowed the president a waiver. Each president since then has routinely exercised the waiver, citing the national security interests of the United States.
Trump, who also drew boos at the RJC event for suggesting Israelis and Palestinians were equally culpable for the collapse of the peace process, told Brody evangelicals should know he would be good for Israel.
Calling US President Barack Obama “the worst thing that has ever happened to Israel” for negotiating the recent Iran-nuclear deal, Trump pledged loyalty to Israel.
“I will be very good to Israel,” he said. “People know that. I have so many friends from Israel. I have won so many awards from Israel. I was even the grand marshal for the Israeli Day Parade a few years ago. So I will back Israel.”
In 2008, I agreed with almost nothing Obama promised to do. But I did not believe he was telling the truth.
In 2016, I agree with almost everything Trump promises to do. But I do not believe he is telling the truth.
A man who is a liar should not be trusted, no matter what is said.

The great Apostasy is growing fast in the Church and oh how they love it. But soon and in the world as G-d has told us HE is the light of Prophecy Revelation 21.. and John 1 tells us that G-d is light and their is no darkness in HIM. So we see the horrific apostasy happening all over the world and Messiah Yeshua is coming to settle all, a G-d , the only G-d will destroy everyone who comes against Israel HIS Chosen. People twist the scripture to suit themselves and because they refuse the Truth, HE will and has sent a lie and they believe it as HE said. Woe to them who call evil good and good evil. G-d also said HE would let evil grow just before HE comes and we see that tho HE is a G-d of love that HE is also a G-d of Justice and tells us fear is the beginning of WISDOM… and we have been given to willful choices and hopefully we will heed what is written as HE IS THE WORD and tells us it is better to believe G-d than man…. The civil war we see happening is what G-d said would happen and if HE did not come, no flesh would be saved. In the end…Israel will win….We must fight the good fight for Truth.
