US President Donald Trump said he moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem “for the evangelicals” .
Speaking at a campaign rally on Monday, the day the Democratic National Convention began, Trump said that Christian voters are more enthused about America’s embassy to Israel being in the holy city than Jews are.
“That’s for the evangelicals,” said Trump. “The evangelicals are more excited about that than Jewish people. It’s incredible.”
Trump held a rally and gave a campaign speech in Wisconsin on Monday. Later that day, the Democratic National Convention kicked off in the same Midwestern state.
