"And we moved the capital of Israel to Jerusalem," Trump said at a rally held at an airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, apparently referring to his decision to move the embassy from Tel Aviv. "That's for the evangelicals."
Jerusalem has been Israel's capital since its founding in 1948, although much of the international community does not recognize it as under the initial UN Partition Plan, Jerusalem was to be an international city.
"You know, it's amazing with that — the evangelicals are more excited by that than Jewish people," he said to cheers from the crowd. "That's right, it's incredible."
Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital in December 2017, when he announced plans to move the embassy there. In May 2018, his administration opened the new facility — a move that was met with intense controversy, both in Washington and in the Middle East.
Following the move the Palestinians, who claim East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state, cut ties with Washington, calling the Trump administration biased toward Israel.
At the time, Trump said that the decision was made to advance US interests and peace in the region, and out of respect for Israel's sovereignty. He said in a video message played at the 2018 inauguration of the embassy:
"I've judged this course of action to be in the best interests of the United States of America and the pursuit of peace between Israel and the Palestinians. This is a long-overdue step to advance the peace process and to work towards a lasting agreement.However, it was clear from the start that the move was also aimed at the evangelical community, who have been some of Trump's staunchest supporters.
"Israel is a sovereign nation with the right like every other sovereign nation to determine its own capital. Acknowledging this as a fact is a necessary condition for achieving peace."
Large number of evangelical Christians in the US believe that God has chosen Trump to advance the kingdom of God on Earth. Several high-profile religious leaders have made similar claims, often comparing Trump to King Cyrus, who was asked by God to rescue the nation of Israel from exile in Babylon.
Prominent Christian supporters of Israel were involved in the embassy inauguration and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman noted at the time that he believed evangelical Christians "support Israel with much greater fervor and devotion than many in the Jewish community."
Gallup — citing the proportion of people who answer yes to the question "Would you describe yourself as 'born-again' or evangelical?" — says evangelicals have for decades comprised just over 40 percent of the population. And a 2017 poll commissioned by pro-Israel evangelicals found that the percentage of evangelicals who believe that the establishment of Israel was a fulfillment of prophecy was 80%.
Elizabeth Oldmixon, a University of North Texas political scientist who studies evangelicals and their relationship to Israel, has estimated that about a third of evangelicals are likely to put Israel policy at the center of their electoral decision-making. (Other issues that drive evangelical voting include abortion rights and religious liberty.)

Biden has said that the US embassy in Israel would remain in Jerusalem if he's elected, even as he called Trump's decision to move the diplomatic base from Tel Aviv "short-sighted and frivolous."
In Mankato, Minnesota, Trump stepped up his rhetoric against Biden, calling him a "puppet of left-wing extremists trying to erase our borders, eliminate our police, indoctrinate our children, vilify our heroes, take away our energy." He alleged that Biden a victory would "replace American freedom with left-wing fascism."
"Fascists. They are fascists. Some of them, not all of them, but some of them. But they're getting closer and closer. We have to win this election. But the proud people of Minnesota will not let this happen."Fascism, though, is a form of far-right nationalism.
On the tarmac in Minneapolis, Trump addressed about 150 supporters — half of them wearing masks — who chanted "Four More Years." Trump told them that the Democrats would take away the constitutional amendment to bear arms.
He also criticized Biden for supporting an expansion in refugee asylum admissions including from "terrorist hot spots," in apparent reference to Minnesota's large community of Somali refugees.
I'm going to be so politically correct," Trump said, before taking credit for his ban on travel from some Muslim-majority countries, saying "we want people to come into our country who love our country."

These are the commonly known 'eastern European jews', the ones which use Yiddish instead of Hebrew! And they discriminate against the true jews, the sherpadim.
Trump is a Zionist puppet, a Chabad follower as is his entire family. Rabbis even created a commemorative coin with Trump's face on it, together with the "third temple" [Google image it], to say thanks to his support and funding of that third temple reconstruction project - a scheme which is linked with the preparations for the arrival of their "Messiah", gentile's antichrist.
Chabad and other orthodox Jewish groups are the ones who are taught since birth that all gentiles are beasts created by God in order to serve them; this is out of Judaism/phsridaism's 'sacred' book, the Babylonian Talmud [whore of babylon]. So these are the guys Trump has been involved with all his life! The promoters of the "Noahide Laws", aka, the 'seven laws of noah' for gentiles...it's symbol, an occult symbol is the RAINBOW - this same rainbow we now see everywhere, linked to "love" & "unity"! When this antichrist arrives, he'll impose these noahide laws on all gentiles under punishment of decapitation [Rev 20:4]. American freemason Manly P. Hall revealed in his book "the secret teachings of all ages" the meaning of this rainbow: "the rainbow bridge between man's consciousness and the seething energies of Lucifer"! So next time you hear people talking about the 'enegies of nature', now you know what it is...althoigh most of these people are new agers who were slso deceived since all pagan sects share the same five core doctrines...all coming from the jewish luciferian cabala.
Trump?a Zionist puppet!
