President Trump’s recent decision to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to the capital of Jerusalem had George Takei reaching for a joke:
Since Trump is busy moving capitals around, he might as well move ours to Moscow while he's at it.

Only he’s not moving any capital. Jerusalem IS and ALWAYS HAS BEEN the capital of Israel. #TryAgain #WasThatSupposedToBeFunny

Recognizing a capital that's been there for decades is "moving capitals around".
