Secretary of State Mike Pompeo suggested it is “possible” that PU.S. resident Donald Trump is meant to save the Jewish people, responding to an interview question whether Trump is a new Esther, a biblical character who convinced the king of Persia not to destroy the Jews. “I am confident that the Lord is at work here,” Pompeo said, noting how he visited the tunnels under Jerusalem. Paula White, a megachurch pastor and adviser to Trump, has also compared him to Esther. After arriving in Israel Wednesday, the secretary of state met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and in a joint news conference, Pompeo vowed to fight anti-Semitism.
