Will Trump’s unilateral decision to move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem garner some support for him in the US? Maybe, but probably only from people who were already supporting him, and who wouldn’t stop supporting him if he failed to do so.
Will it hurt US interests in the Middle East? Oh, yes.
I’m really not a conspiracy theorist. Really-truly. But if I were, I could easily see Trump as being a plant for a foreign government to tear down US influence abroad and US social fabric at home. He seems to delight in it, unerringly doing just what seems designed to make things worse.
Except it would really have to be an alien government, since his fomenting of war and crippling of US feeble attempts to rein in climate change threaten every human in the world. Or at least our human civilization.
