4 times Trump has been compared to King Cyrus the Great

By CP Staff

4. Friends of Zion founder Mike Evans

The Jerusalem-based Friends of Zion Museum shared images on its social media pages on Oct. 10, reading “Cyrus the Great is Alive!” alongside an image of President Donald Trump.

The photos were part of what Friends of Zion described as a nationwide billboard campaign in Israel to celebrate the Gaza peace summit.

In 2018, the pro-Israel Evangelical group ran a similar campaign celebrating Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Upon embarking on a trip to the Whtie House, Friends of Zion founder Mike Evans reportedly said, “I am going to tell him that he is Cyrus the Great, just like Truman.”
