For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Historic – President Trump and Family Visit Jerusalem’s Western Wall…

Together with his family and diplomatic team, U.S. President Donald Trump became the first president to visit Jerusalem’s Western Wall on Monday.  President Trump stood before the holiest place where Jews are permitted to pray before inserting a note between the monumental stones.

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were accompanied by the Rabbi of the Western Wall, Shmuel Rabinowitz, who said on Israel Radio that he recited two psalms with the U.S. leader. One of them, Psalm 122, speaks of Jerusalem as a “city that is united together”.

Donald, Melania, Bibi and Sara…

There’s diplomatic friendship, nice people (Xi Jinping); then there’s leadership friendship, great people (Fattah al-Sisi); and then there’s ‘friendship’ friendship.  Donald and Melania Trump together with Bibi and Sara Netanyahu have the latter in buckets.

With all the formal decorum that can at times be choking to deal with, Melania and Sara have a naturally gracious and comfortable sense together. Donald and Bibi also really like each other, and they really like that Melania and Sara enjoy each other. Big Bonus. Good stuff.

The most consequential events in history all surround relationships – not simply events. Relationships create trust – trust creates history.

The overheard conversation on the tarmac was pricless. (Video Below):
