He should go back to making WWF videos
In the West Bank city of Ramallah, there were harsh words for Mr. Trump from Palestinians agitated at the idea that they were being forced into another period of conflict.
“We will never allow East Jerusalem to be taken away from us,” said a retired farmer who gave his name as Abu Malik, 54. “Trump is a crazy man who knows nothing about politics. I think he should go back to making WWF videos, rather than making these dangerous decisions that will only bring more headaches and bloodshed to our region.”
Maysa Hanoun, 20, a student at Al-Quds Open University, said she believed recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital would set off a third intifada. “He really doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into,” she said of Mr. Trump. “The Palestinians will unite and raise hell.”
Palestinian officials were weighing whether to go so far as to cut off contact with the Trump administration, calling him so biased toward Israel that he had effectively disqualified himself from playing peacemaker.
“We were very close to receiving an offer for peace from the Americans,” Majdi Khaldi, an adviser to Mr. Abbas said in a telephone interview. “We want to be positive and to be partners to the U.S., and to all parties that want to make peace, but this act is making it very difficult to continue with business as usual. Really, we want to make a historic peace with the Israelis, but that is not the way.”
Don’t worry. Trump knows best.
If he’s thinking at all – which is a big if – I suspect it runs along the lines of signalling he’s really, really “pro-Israel” by ticking off Palestinians (and having no concept that Arab-Israeli peace isn’t a matter of one side utterly, totally “winning”). Or, that a “good” decision is one that other people have consistently rejected for reasons that he can’t be bothered to follow.
Why would anyone think an “Ayrab” would know more about Jerusalem than the master of all the best words, the biggest IQ in history, and a pussy grabber par excellence?
If only he could build a wall and keep all the Ayrabs and Jooze out (unless they work in his shiny hotel).

David, while he’s at it, maybe his shiny new wall could manage to keep out all libruls, too.

Good morning, Mr President.
(Sorry, I see you already posted about this. D’oh.) :-/
It’s kicking off on the West Bank already. Israeli forces using guns, tear gas and water cannons. It’s going to get worse. Much, much worse.

Yes, and since the Israelis have the advantage of overwhelming force, we all how how it will end.
