And Trump is of course beholden to his evangelical base. As well as his fanatically pro-Israel Zionist (is that redundant?) donors. Like Miriam Adelson, who donated $100 million to his campaign and who was standing right behind him at his first inauguration. Not sure where she was at the second one, but not far behind I'm sure. It is thanks to the influence and pressure of the Adelson family that the embassy was moved to Jerusalem and Golan Heights was annexed. Adelson and others are now pushing for West Bank annexation.

My viw of evangelicals? They should all move to Israel and wait for the end times there. I'm sure they would enjoy both the wait and the event.
