Evangelical Leader Blasts Trump for His "F**K Him" Comment
It would appear that Trump has ruffled some of his most ardent supporters with his comments about Israel and his "F**K him!" comment towards Netanyahu.
An Evangelical adviser to former president Donald Trump blasted him in a letter for his anti-Netanyahu outburst in interviews last week, saying he would not win the presidency back this way, the Washington Post reported Monday.
Mike Evans, an early and firm supporter of Trump’s presidency who heads several Christian organizations, wrote in part, “Please, I beg of you, don’t put us in the position to choose between you and Bible land. There is no possibility you can win again if Bible-believing evangelicals see you as the ‘F–k Netanyahu’ president who . . . blames the State of Israel, and not the Palestinians, for not making peace.”
Trump had used the expletive when speaking with Barak Ravid of the Axios and Walla news sites in conveying his fury that the then-prime minister had congratulated Joe Biden on his victory over Trump in last year’s U.S. elections.
Although Netanyahu waited over 12 hours from the time the American media called the presidency for Biden to send his compliments, making him one of the last world leaders to acknowledge the win, Trump said he had been “earlier than most” to do so.
The fervent Christian Zionist added that the ex-president should understand that Netanyahu “has much greater support among evangelicals in America than you.” Trump was therefore risking their vote if he runs again, as he has indicated he would.
Evans’ friendship with Netanyahu goes back decades, to well before he became Israel’s longest-serving leader.
Other Evangelical leaders have not condemned Trump’s remarks, although at least one other said that it would be good to clear the air between the two former heads of state.
In an emailed statement, Jack Graham of Trump’s faith advisory council wrote that Trump should “reconcile with Benjamin Netanyahu and clarify his reported remarks.” But as Sandra Parker, one of the leaders of Christians United for Israel, the biggest pro-Israel lobby, pointed out in her own email to the paper, “Evangelical support for Israel is rooted in our Biblical tradition which transcends both politics and personalities.”

God will use whomever He wants to accomplish His plans. He used Nebuchadnezzar to punish the Jews and He can use Trump to deliver Jerusalem and the Golan Heights into Israel's hands. For Trump to believe that he was single handedly responsible for blessing Israel and even saving Israel is the height of pride. And we all know what the Bible has to say about pride.
Maybe one day soon, Trump will lose his mind and crawl around eating grass like an ox? It's happened before to Babylon's king who believed he was responsible for events that were, in fact, orchestrated by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Daniel 4:28-33
28 All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 Twelve months later, as the king was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, 30 he said, “Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?”
31 Even as the words were on his lips, a voice came from heaven, “This is what is decreed for you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your royal authority has been taken from you. 32 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.”
Immediately what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from people and ate grass like the ox. His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.
