What do Jerusalemites think of Trump as US president?

Jerusalem Post interns interviewed people in the Holy City to hear how they feel about Donald Trump .

The interviewees voiced optimism about Israel ’s future, thoughts and criticisms regarding Trump as a person, and biblical analogies of his leadership and power.

While Americans are divided over his presidency and the fate of the United States , Israelis are cautiously hopeful.

A 15-year-old Israeli with American parents noted that Trump was “very forward-thinking” but also capable of losing his mind.

A former New Yorker who lived in Europe before making aliyah to Jerusalem , Mila Hess , 56 , was thrilled to discuss the new president.

“I am over moon. In my opinion, he is a savant, but his heart is in the right place and he's a giant,” she said.

Trump is back to bring us all back on track and, together with Israel , save humanity from the brink, Hess said.

Hess said she believed that with the backing of a sensible US , Israel can cooperate with other Middle Eastern countries in bringing down Iran and defeating the axis of evil.

Eve Pearl , 47 , an American who's resided in Jerusalem ’s Old Katamon neighborhood for the past 15 years , has been a staunch Trump fan.
