‘I Will Not Abandon This Post’: Mike Huckabee Texts Trump Saying He Has Biggest Choice Since Truman In 1945 by Derek VanBuskirk
President Donald Trump shared a motivational text Tuesday from U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee reaffirming his support of the president and addressing the potential significance of the Israel-Iran war in the Middle East.
Huckabee said he trusted Trump’s “instincts” and implied that the situation was perhaps the most significant a U.S. president has faced in decades.
“I am your appointed servant in this land and am available for you but I do not try to get in your presence often because I trust your instincts. No president in my lifetime has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945,” Huckabee said, possibly referring to Truman’s decision to use the atomic bomb to end World War II.
Huckabee told the president that many will offer him advice but said the decision was up to to Trump himself.
As a former Baptist minister, Huckabee told Trump that God spared his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, so that he could be “the most consequential president in a century — maybe ever.” He invited Trump to listen to God’s voice above all others.
“I believe you will hear from heaven, and that voice is far more important than mine or ANYONE else’s,” Huckabee said.
The ambassador finished his message to Trump by reaffirming his allegiance to the president and to the U.S. “You sent me to Israel to be your eyes, ears, and voice and to make sure our flag flies above our embassy. My job is to be the last one to leave,” he said.
“I will not abandon this post. Our flag will NOT come down!” Huckabee said.
Trump has faced heavy criticism from many on the right regarding his response to Iran and Israel’s ongoing conflict in the days since the latter attacked nuclear facilities of the former. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said they struck Iranian “nuclear targets” and is believed to have killed multiple senior Iranian officials and nuclear scientists.
While conservatives debate what an America First agenda looks like in the Middle East, Trump said Monday that “AMERICA FIRST means many GREAT things, including the fact that, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.”
Trump also denied early Tuesday that he had contacted Iran, clarifying that he had not reached out to Iran for negotiations.
“If they want to talk, they know how to reach me. They should have taken the deal that was on the table – Would have saved a lot of lives!!!” Trump said.
