Trump Jokes He Could Move to Israel and Become Their Prime Minister if Americans Get ‘Tired of Him’
Trump said he would move to Israel and become prime minister if Americans tire of him, while boasting of 99% approval there.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump called into "Fox & Friends" to rally supporters, boasting of a 99% approval rating in Israel and joking he would move there to become prime minister if Americans ever get "tired" of him.
- During the same interview, the president claimed the United States would stop $4 billion in annual aid to Israel by year's end, despite a 10-year memorandum of understanding providing $3.8 billion annually through September 2028.
- Multiple polls undercut the president's claims, with the Jewish People Policy Institute finding just 10% of Israelis expressed a great deal of confidence in Trump regarding U.S.-Israeli relations, reflecting sharp decline during 2026.
- Trump's remarks drew sharp mockery from critics, with prominent Trump critic George Conway quipping that the president was "threatening us with a good time" by suggesting he might leave the country.
- Israeli law requires the prime minister to be a citizen and member of the Knesset, criteria Trump does not currently meet, complicating his proposed career pivot regardless of popular support.
