In a true embrace of the free press, President Donald Trump told his millions of Twitter followers to watch the opening of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem on Fox News and Fox Business.

Though it is well known that the president is a big fan of the Fox networks over other failing or fake outlets such as CNN or MSNBC, the directive comes the morning after New York magazine published a massive report detailing Trumps nightly calls with Fox News host Sean Hannity to discuss everything from the Russia witch hunt to cable news ratings and the White Houses cozy relationship with the network.
The Embassy opening is already deeply controversial, as Jerusalem is a holy city for three major religions. Moving the United States Embassy there from Tel Aviv signals a very strong support of Israeli and by extension, Jewish governance of that city with U.S. assistance, potentially at the expense of other religious groups who live in the country. Indeed, protests in Gaza have already turned deadly ahead of the announcement.

She does not spend too much time with them, unless it is for a photo op. Bibi is as corrupt as tRump, and under indictments for screwing over the Israelis. I guess birds of a feather (crooked) really do flock together. How much did this trip cost US taxpayers?

He is not the president of the people, but the handmaid of the most destructive elements of our society, religious extremists, misogynists, homophobes, racists, oligarchs, and every other bottom dwellers.

Come on, they give us so much meat to show their dastardly deeds! We have to call them out on it.
