President Trump said in a new interview that evangelical Christians have been more appreciative than Jews of his decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

Trump indicated to Mike Huckabee on the former GOP governor’s TBN show, a Christian network, that he was surprised that more Jewish people weren’t more appreciative about the embassy move.

“I tell you what, I get more calls of thank you from evangelicals, and I see it in the audiences and everything else, than I do from Jewish people,” Trump said. “And the Jewish people appreciate it but the evangelicals appreciate it more than the Jews.”

“It’s not a surprise though Mr. President, because evangelicals are people of the book,” Huckabee replied. “And they believe you kept a promise, were fulfilling really a 3,000-year old commitment to recognize Jerusalem as the capital.”

1. In other words, ungrateful b'stards ...... Gonna go down well

[ck4829]

2. Same Evangelicals who supposed the Iraq War "because End Times" support everything he does

To a normal person, you shouldn't be happy to have the support of people who do things "because End Times", but here we are...

[spiderpig]

3. Making friends wherever he goes...

[Freethinker65]

4. Evidently there are no Jewish people "of the book"??

Or is Huckabee admitting "Jews" are more rational than evangelicals?

Honestly SHS was doomed having this ignorant man as her father.

[pazzyanne]

5. Hmmm, wonder why that is?

tRump lives in his own bubble surrounded by people who support and use him as tool. Too bad he is not smart enough to understand this! He has made himself a pariah in the country he is suppose to be leading.

6. Just waiting for the rapture

8. Well, Evangelicals are more important than Jews, ...

... in the mind of the demagogue Trump.

[thesquanderer]

9. Makes sense, since he only cares about who votes for him.

According to exit polls, Trump got only 24% of the Jewish vote, the lowest of any religious denomination, but he got 81% of the Evangelical vote, the highest.

10. The burning question...

of our country/civilization- How can we advance toward the betterment and sustainability of all people when the most powerful nation has been hijacked by crazy-eyed dooms (dayers)? How is rational discussion possible with millions of evangelicals whose whole plan in life is to foment chaos and ignite fires as a tool to bring about a prophetical new kingdom?

This sociopathic worldview is so detached from reality, but the notion that it is be to respected and tolerated by the rest of us is too ingrained in human, religious thought. Moving ancient, biblically prophesied cities within a country to help god fulfill their scriptures is not only fallacious, but reveals the impotence of their so-called faith.

20. You Can't. They either have to go or the rest have to set up another society. n/t

[rickyhall]

11. Huckabee too stupid to know he's being conned.

[Roy Rolling]

16. Bonus

He's too stupid AND a willing participant.

He doesn't know or care. If a Trump ass is there, a Huckabee family member is puckering up to smooch.

[elleng]

12. Right, more votes too.

[beachbum bob]

13. part of the THE RAPTURE moron

[yallerdawg]

15. "Do you trust Kim Jong Un?"

I had to stop watching at "Yes." First lie.

Or the deplorables elected the dumbest person they could find.

[area51]

17. There's Fuckabee again, looking at Trump like a proud parent.

[Cold War Spook]

18. Wait until the evangelicals

start rebuilding the Temple over the remains of the Dome of the Rock. I understand that they have been raising the sacrificial animals.

[Solly Mack]

19. Well, it was the true motive for moving it. Appeasing the rapture-ready crowd.

Trump wouldn't mind Trump West Bank Hotels either.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. Of course they did.

They hope it'll bring on the rapture.

Funny thing is 'the rapture' wasn't part of Christian doctrine till John Nelson Darby invented it in the 19th century.

[Initech]

22. Fuck the evangelicals. They are going to get a lot of people killed over apocalyptic bullshit.

[JI7]

23. He wants jewish people to kiss his hideous disgusting ass

[randr]

24. Brings evangelicals closer to their chosen fate--death

The whole cult is a death worshiping cult. They even worship a man dying on a cross.
If the whole world suffers their fate so be it.

25. It's been 3000 years since 1947?

i seem to remember a few very important Bible passages.

The most obvious is the parable of the sheep and the goats, where Jesus sent all the fundamentalists to hell for being total choads.

The other is very short: not everyone who says lord, lord to me will enter the kingdom of heaven.

26. People "of the book?" Does he mean the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders?"
