Donald Trump has sparked concern after leaking a private text from U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who praised him as the “most consequential president in a century—maybe ever.” Huckabee suggested Trump survived his July 2024 assassination attempt because God spared him to handle the escalating Iran-Israel conflict, which has killed hundreds. The message, shared on Truth Social, called Trump divinely chosen and claimed no other president since Truman in 1945 faced such a pivotal moment. Huckabee vowed unwavering loyalty, stating he would never abandon his post in Israel.
The leaked text drew sharp criticism online, with many calling it excessive and unprofessional. Critics slammed Huckabee’s religious tone, arguing it misrepresented Christian values of peace and love. Some labeled the message “heretical” and “nauseating,” while others expressed alarm over the biblical framing of geopolitical decisions. Trump, however, praised Huckabee as a “great person,” further fueling the controversy. The incident has raised questions about the blending of faith and politics in U.S. diplomacy.
