On Monday, ambassadors and officials from all over the world celebrated the official opening of the new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. Now, in honor of the historic occassion, we have learned that one of Israel’s top soccer clubs has changed its name, sending a direct message to President Donald Trump.
Jerusalem’s largest soccer club has changed its name to “Beitar Trump Jerusalem” in honor of President Donald Trump’s recognition of Israel’s capital.
On Monday, in a ceremony attended by U.S. Deputy Secretary of State John J. Sullivan, Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin, Senior Adviser Jared Kushner, Adviser Ivanka Trump, and Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt, as well as ambassadors and officials from all over the world, the U.S’s new Embassy in Jerusalem’s Arnona neighborhood was officially opened. The previous Embassy had been located in Tel Aviv.
On Monday, which marked the 70th anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel, US and Israeli leaders hailed the embassy move as a sign of the enduring relationship between the two countries and of US trustworthiness. American officials said it could create an honest foundation for an eventual peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians.

“Today, Jerusalem is the seat of Israel’s government. It is the home of the Israeli legislature and the Israeli supreme court and Israel’s prime minister and president,” the president said in his address. “Israel is a sovereign nation with the right, like every other sovereign nation, to determine its own capital, yet for many years, we failed to acknowledge the obvious, the plain reality that Israel’s capital is Jerusalem.”
Beitar Jerusalem, one of Israel’s top soccer clubs, announced that it would change its name to “Beitar Trump Jerusalem” in a remarkable gesture of gratitude toward President Donald Trump for his move to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

The team praised Trump in an announcement on Facebook, saying, “For 70 years has Jerusalem been awaiting international recognition, until President Donald Trump, in a courageous move, recognized Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel. President Trump has shown courage, and true love of the Israeli people and their capital, and these days other countries are following his lead in giving Jerusalem its rightful status.”
“The football club Beitar Jerusalem, one of the most prominent symbols of the city, are happy to honor the President for his love and support with a gesture of our own,” the team added. “The chairmen of the club, the owner Eli Tabib and the executive manager Eli Ohana have decided to add to the club’s title the name of the American President who made history, and from now on will be called Beitar Trump Jerusalem. We have the greatest love for the President, and it will win!”
According to the mainstream media, President Donald Trump is not respected around the world. However, reports like this one serve to dispell this bogus narrative perpetuated by the “Very Fake News” media. Donald Trump isn’t just respected, he’s revered as a hero — so much so that longstanding organizations are changing their names in his honor. Don’t expect to hear about that on MSNBC or CNN, though.
