Trump's religious bigot

The pastor who Trump chose to deliver the blessing at the US Jerusalem embassy opening was Robert Jeffress. He's a member of Trump's Evangelical Advisory Board and White House Faith Initiative. He also holds a lot of creepy views ...

He has said that President Obama was paving the way for the future reign of the Antichrist. He has said that Catholicism is a Satanic result of a Babylonian mystery religion. He doesn't like Mormonism either, and has called it a cult and a heresy from the pit of hell. He has also said that Islam is evil, and, ironically, given his latest gig at the Jerusalem embassy, Jews are going to hell. Oh, and he's a homophobe.

I'm not surprised Trump picked this nutball - after all, he's a staunch Trump supporter who has even said that if Trump did have an affair with Stormy Daniels while he was married, it wouldn't matter.

I have to wonder if Israel really understands what a bad idea it is to bond with Trump - I don't think it will end well for Israel or the Middle East in general.
