The Israeli government is to name a train station after President Donald Trump following his decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel earlier this month.
The station will be built at the Western Wall, the site where Jews pray and believe to be a standing wall of the Second Temple, an ancient holy site revered in Judaism. Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the site in May.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet lauded the Dec. 6 announcement as a recognition of reality and were moved to show their appreciation to the American leader.
"The Western Wall is the holiest place for the Jewish people, and I decided to name the train station that leads to it after President Trump—following his historic and brave decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel," Israeli Transportation Minister Israel Katz said, according to The Jerusalem Post.
I think it is becoming fairly obvious that the Trump presidency is going to end in scandal, so I would predict that Israel is going to be very unhappy about this decision.
Probably within the next year or so.
After all there is a reason we do not have a connecting flight at the Richard Nixon airport, or drive down the Richard M. Nixon turnpike.
At some point Trump's name will be used as a derogatory remark or insult, along the lines of "Boy he really Trumped that up didn't he?" or " Trump you, for driving like that!"
I mean if the Netanyahu wanted to insult it citizens why not call it the Adolph Hitler train station?
After all there ARE a number of similarities.
