Trump fans the flames of rage in the Middle East
theguardian.com: Cartoonist Steve Bell on Donald Trump and Jerusalem: “Donald Trump has defied overwhelming global opposition by declaring United States' recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but insisted that the highly controversial move would not derail his own administration’s bid to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
He LOVES making declarations. That's his specialty. Doesn't require much thinking. Doesn't require any execution. Doesn't require reading. Requires only grand-standing and willingness to get attention.
What I find curious is that Trump makes his announcement, and then "The White House" admits it hurts the peace process.
Doesn't Trump = "The White House"? WTF?
Silly me for thinking that diplomacy was preferred instead of publicly bullying countries with threats of withdrawing financial aid. We sure showed them. 
We got the Togo vote so there!

Washington found itself isolated as many of its Western and Arab allies voted for the measure. Some of those allies, like Egypt, Jordan and Iraq, are major recipients of U.S. military or economic aid, although the U.S. threat to cut aid did not single out any country.
Trump announced with a pout yesterday, about the response of the UN, "We dont care."
Hey, he doesnt speak for me!
He doesn’t care??? Then why bluster, and pout, and turn blue in the face?
If you’re going to grandstand every 5 mins and want to be taken seriously while you’re doing it, then your threats have to mean something. That’s the point of such language. That’s how you get to be known as a brilliant negotiator ... oh, wait...

He cares. A lot.
Not about Israel. He cares that anyone dares to defy him. He thinks himself the greatest, bestest ever. How can anyone in their right mind defy him? He takes it very personal.
Why do you think at his cabinet meetings there is this constant nauseous kissass praise thrown on him? They know him for what he is.
