For real, does this guy even know he's the President of the United States; not the United Nations, or the United Arab Emirates or any other United entity. He doesn't really have the authority to declare capitals, nor the brain capacity to understand the ramifications here.

Re: Orange Dirty Bastard
Next semester's class should *interesting*.
I think much of these decisions are being made to distract from the Mueller investigation. While he did campaign on moving the embassy to Jerusalem, other politicians before him did as well. But when they arrive in office, they are explained, in more detail, about the ramifications and the politician backs off. First, Dumpster doesn't listen to the intelligence agencies and already thinks he is smarter than the generals, so why listen to them when they say how bad this is. Second, the evangelicals believe that Jesus won't come back until all Jews are in Jerusalem, so why not start with the embassy of the US to help move that plan along.
Also, when the violence happens due to this. And it will happen. It can be to continue to show the world that Muslims are bad people. It doesn't matter that multiple faiths have ties to Jerusalem, so of course they are going to fight for what is theirs. But that part doesn't matter, just that Muslims are violent people.
You would think with all the Benghazi yelling that has occurred, you would think moving an embassy to such a pot of turmoil would have an easy answer. But apparently Dumpster doesn't feel that way.
