The US Congress has become an extension of the Israeli government. We don’t need a president. We have the Israel Lobby.
The US House of Representatives just passed a bill that means prison for any Christian or anyone for that matter who quotes the Bible that says Jesus was handed over by Jews to Pontius Pilate to be scourged and crucified by the Romans.
