Why has President Trump taken a pastor along in his embassy-opening delegation to Jerusalem who has been outspoken about his belief that Jews* are going to go to "hell"? Is it a political calculation of some kind or is it driven by religious principle on Trump's part?

Edit: * Muslims, Mormons and Hindus too.

His motivation is easy to understand - America First. Rest of the World second.

That’s the proper motivation and mindset for the president and leader of America.

Catering to the evangelical part of his base. 1/4 of population; 80% voted for him.
