The man’s history is that he breaks more promises than he keeps, so there’s no excuse for anyone to be shocked by this.
According to a story from Bloomberg today, President Trump is breaking another big campaign promise.
President Donald Trump has decided not to immediately move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, a senior White House official said, violating a campaign promise but avoiding a provocation that could drive Palestinians away from peace talks.
The official said the administration considers its discussions with both the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority to be promising, with the Palestinians in particular agreeing to talk without preconditions. The official asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter.
Imagine that.
It was March 2016 when Trump made his grand promise to the American Israeli Political Action Committee that he’d do what no other American politician has managed to do – move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
Yeah. That was Candidate Trump.
“We don’t think it would be wise to do it at this time,” the official said. “We’ve been very clear what our position is and what we would like to see done, but we’re not looking to provoke anyone when everyone’s playing really nice.”

It is time to formally recognize Jerusalem as the eternal and undivided capital of Israel and move our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

So he made a liar out of Nikki Haley.
If I were Haley, I’d leave now.
