TRUMP ALWAYS STOOD UP FOR ISRAEL AND PEOPLE

- Robert Parker via email

ON December 6, 2017, then US President Donald Trump announced the US recognitio­n of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and he also ordered the relocation of the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem (Source: Wikipedia).

President Trump always stood up for Israel and the Jewish people whilst in office. Therefore, the thugs carrying banners glorifying the holocaust at the Capital building on January 6 (Views 27/01) were unlikely to be genuine Trump supporters. In any case, law enforcemen­t will expose and bring all the thugs to justice.

On January 6, 2021, the US Senate was meeting to ratify the Certificat­ion of the Electoral College Seals in accordance with the US Constituti­on. As part of the programme for the day senators were to be given a presentati­on and subsequent debate on electoral fraud.

Many Republican senators, such as Senator Ted Cruz, had indicated their intention to reject the Certificat­ion of Electoral College votes for six states: Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvan­ia, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin on the grounds that a fair and impartial election had not occurred in these areas. They would have had to present to fellow senators valid justificat­ion for their unpreceden­ted decision.

The US Constituti­on states that any individual whom knowingly takes the Oath of Office under false pretences could face trial in a Military Court for the charge of treason.
