    Trump might be less hardcore Israel because it doesn’t align with Russia’s interests. /s. He’s an isolationist. The goal? It’s a representation of the sentiment of the country.

      Trump moved the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv, where it had been for a very long time, to Jerusalem in order to make a show of power for Israel’s claim that Jerusalem is their sole domain. He also wants to stop Muslims from entering the United States. You know who he has no problem with entering the United States? Israelis.

      But sure, he’s totally less hardcore on Israel.
