Praising the "miracles" for Israel orchestrated by President Donald Trump, Miriam Adelson is praying for a biblical "Book of Trump" and wondering why more American Jews are not supporting the president.
"By rights, Trump should enjoy sweeping support among US Jews, just as he does among Israelis," the Republican donor and wife of Sheldon Adelson wrote for Israel Hayom. "That this has not been the case (so far; the 2020 election still beckons) is an oddity that will long be pondered by historians. Scholars of the Bible will no doubt note the heroes, sages, and prophets of antiquity who were similarly spurned by the very people they came to raise up.
"Would it be too much to pray for a day when the Bible gets a 'Book of Trump,' much like it has a 'Book of Esther' celebrating the deliverance of the Jews from ancient Persia?"
Miriam Adelson compared her marriage to her husband to that of the U.S. and Israel, giving Trump credit for:
- Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital, moving the U.S. Embassy there.
- Declaring Golan Heights territory of Israel.
- Withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal.
- Remaking the peace process.
"And he has kept each and every one of those promises – unlike previous presidents who traded principle for political expediency," she wrote.
". . . Trump is also a patriot who wants to make America great again. He is constantly aware of that cost that the United States risks paying should it lose credibility. An America that projects strength and credibility rallies most world powers to it; these, in turn, respect and value its steadfast loyalty to its allies, chief among them Israel."
