    Pompeo made the statement in an interview with a Christian broadcast outlet this week on a trip to the Middle East.

    The interviewer asked if Trump is “like Queen Esther,” who interceded with her husband to save Jews in what was then Persia and is now Iran. Trump has backed new sanctions on Iran aimed at reducing its ability to threaten Israel.

    Pompeo said in response that “As a Christian, I certainly believe that’s possible.”

    The secretary of state recently drew criticism for holding a briefing exclusively for “faith-based” journalists.

    Pompeo on Friday vowed new measures against what he said was the “threat” from Iran.

    We have to be thankful to Hashem for putting the most powerful country in the world with us, against so many others…It is only because Hashem wishes so. And thank you America for the good we get. “Those who bless you will be blessed…” and so it has been…

    A sick Trumpist analogy. Trump has opened the door to Jew-hating and anti-Israel action around the world. Ask the psychotic in New Zealand or the piece of drek who committed the pogrom in Pittsburgh shul. Trump is an amoral racist rasha who is no friend to Jews.
