GET READY: ‘Trump Town’ may be coming to Jerusalem!

President Trump has clearly left an impression on Israel after announcing the US will move their embassy to Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. So much so that now they are seriously considering calling the area in Jerusalem where future embassies will be built “Trump Town”:

JPOST – In the letter, which was obtained exclusively by The Jerusalem Post, Galant asked the top figures in his ministry to start working on solutions to house the workers of the embassies.

Following the letter, Roznik, Solomon-Maman and other ministry officials met this week and started working on a plan.

“There is an apparent pattern of embassies moving to Jerusalem, and we have to start getting ready now,” Gallant said. “We might have to build dozens of embassies, and we would need new land ready for that purpose. I asked my ministry to vigorously take action as fast as possible.”

Gallant suggested a couple possible names for the area where the embassies would be located. He initially called it “Embassy Town,” but then said he may decide to instead call it “Trump Town,” after US President Donald Trump, who initiated next month’s move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem.

If that name is indeed given to the embassy quarter, it would not be the first site in the capital named after Trump by a minister in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. Transportation Minister Israel Katz announced in December that he would name the train station that will be built in the future near the Western Wall after the US president.

Trump has his name on many things, but I’m sure he’d be ecstatic about his name being used for this area.

Trump said today in a press conference with Angela Merkel that he may attend the opening of the first US Embassy in Jerusalem next month, that he’s very proud of it.
