Today Trump kept a campaign promise; his first. It will result in a continued military conflict in the Middle East, and end any possibility of peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Once again Trump’s ignorance will result in disastrous results.

Today Trump declared our nation’s support for the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel. For 70 years our nation’s leaders have recognized the religious implications of such a declaration. America now has a moron in control of our nation’s government and has no clue about the implications of his rash decisions.

Trump’s Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, called his boss a “f**king moron. His National Security Adviser, H.R. McMaster called Trump an “idiot,” and a “dope,” and claimed that he has the intelligence of a kindergartner.

Today Trump proved that these assessments are accurate. Efforts by diplomats over decades have been destroyed in a single moronic statement.

Jerusalem had been claimed by Jews, Muslims, and Christians as their most holy site in the world. Trump has once again sided with a single religion and denied the rights of others.

I am forced to be very blunt here. Trump has once again displayed his mental incompetence and proven that he is a blithering idiot. In a single instant he has alienated the entire Muslim world, and incurred questions by Christians about the importance of what they believe was the birthplace of the prophet Jesus Christ.

Okay, don’t get your underwear in a bunch; I have the right to deny fairy tales and reject the claim that Jesus was in fact the son of god.

It must be noted that Trump’s declaration was not solely based on a campaign promise. Vladimir Putin supports Trump’s decision. Most Jews in our nation and a majority of Israelis do not agree with Trump’s hasty comment.

Trump is the first president in history who is not considered the leader of the free world. His prejudices are detrimental to peace in our world. America has ‘Alfred E. Newman as our nation’s president. He is the greatest danger to world peace in my lifetime; and I am an old man.

Please re-post; thank you.
