Remarks by President Trump at the 2020 Council for National Policy Meeting<\/a> <\/p>\n

Excerpts:<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s like Israel. Look what I did for Israel.<\/strong> (Applause.) Thank you. But it\u2019s amazing to me because nobody has been worse to Israel than President Obama and Biden. Nobody. Nobody has been worse. Look at the Iran deal. It\u2019s the worst thing that ever happened to Israel. And they never moved the embassy to Jerusalem, thereby making Jerusalem the capital of Israel, which I did, and neither did any other president, and I understand why. They campaign on it, campaign. Every President said they were going to do; no President did it until I came along.” (Applause.)<\/p>\n

“And the pressure \u2014 and I will tell you, the pressure from other parts of the world was enormous<\/strong>. And I\u2019ve told the story a few times where I just turned off my phone, and when the king calls and this one calls and that one calls \u2014 \u201cWe\u2019re calling about Israel\u201d \u2014 I say, \u201cTell them I\u2019ll get back in a couple of days.\u201d (Laughter.) \u201cI\u2019ll get back in a couple of days. I\u2019ll be in next week.\u201d (Laughter.) Kings and queens and prime ministers and presidents and dictators \u2014 everybody was calling: \u201cDon\u2019t do it. Don\u2019t do it.<\/strong> It\u2019ll be bloodshed all over the Middle East.\u201d Look what we just did \u2014 right? \u2014 with the United Arab Emirates and Israel. (Applause.) And now others will follow.”<\/p>\n

“And we couldn\u2019t have done that if we had the deal with Iran, but they said, \u201cDon\u2019t do it. Don\u2019t do it with Israel. Don\u2019t do it.\u201d And I didn\u2019t take their call, and I did it. Had a ceremony. It was fine. Nothing happened. Remember? The world was going to blow up. \u201cThis will be the end of the world.\u201d So I held my breath, and I did it. And you know what happened? Nothing. Except we did something that should have been done many, many decades ago. And every President violated their promise, their campaign promise, except me. And I did it. By the way, I ended in Golan Heights; that was a big one too, by itself.” (Applause.)<\/p>\n

“And I did it, and, you know, it\u2019s incredible. I then call up these heads of state, many of whom are friends of mine. I get along \u2014 actually, you don\u2019t hear this from the fake news back there. A lot of \u2014 oh, there\u2019s a lot of a lot of press. A lot of press. But, you know, you don\u2019t hear this from the people back there, but I actually have very good relationships with leaders, with many of them. And some of them just take too much advantage of our country, including some of our so-called allies. You know, some of them are the worst for taking advantage of us.<\/strong> But you don\u2019t hear that.”<\/p>\n

“Then \u2014 so what I did is I called some of the leaders the following week. \u201cHi. How you doing? What\u2019s up.\u201d \u201cOh, we wanted to talk to you about Israel, but you already did it.\u201d I said, \u201cOh, I wish I got to you a little bit sooner.\u201d (Laughter.) But that\u2019s easier \u2014 that\u2019s easier than having somebody asking you over and over, \u201cPlease don\u2019t do it.\u201d But I could see there was a lot of pressure. I\u2019d never understood why it wasn\u2019t done.”<\/p>\n

“It wasn\u2019t done because there\u2019s tremendous pressure put on the President of the United States by many other countries, much more than you would think and different countries than you would even think. Countries that you wouldn\u2019t think even cared about it were calling, asking not to do it.”<\/p>\n

“So we did it, and it\u2019s been really quite historic, I guess. And I could run in Israel, and I think they set up probably a 98 percent approval rating in Israel. (Laughter and applause.) So it\u2019s been \u2014 it\u2019s been good.”<\/p>\n

“And you know who appreciates it the most are the evangelical Christians.<\/strong> They appreciate it the most. (Applause.) So it\u2019s been \u2014 it\u2019s been quite a interest- \u2014 that was \u2014 that has been, just by itself \u2014 that\u2019s one thing out of many, many things, but that\u2019s been quite an interesting journey.”

Won’t anyone in THIS country, who still believes in the US Constitution, have the gumption to ASK if the President of the USA actually has the RIGHT to hand another country’s land over to yet a different country, or to designate a foreign city as capital of another foreign country? Every country was calling to warn about this, but what about the citizens of THIS country?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
