Evangelicals Happy
It was reported that evangelicals were happy with Trump’s decision. They believed that Jerusalem had significance.
Tony Perkins, the President of the Family Research Council certainly believed so. Perkins said “in the meetings I was in, it was clearly communicated that evangelicals and Bible-believing Christians see a special relationship with Israel.”
Mr. Mattis said “we met in the room on this. It was an open discussion, went on for some time. As always, my advice to the president, I keep confidential.”
Some of Trump’s staff supported his decision, while others were reserved about his choice.
“It would be folly to assume that repeating the exact same formula would now produce a different or better result,” Mr. Trump said.
He made reference to the fact that nothing else worked so why not try something different.
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,” Pastor Robert Jeffress said. “And thank God we have a President who would take this step.”
Evangelicals were certainly happy with Trump. Despite their being a chance of violence the President and evangelicals believed it will work out for the best.
