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.

Yeah, we get the attempt to keep the “Russia collusion” narrative on life support, but there’s another problem with that attempted joke:
Jerusalem was already the capital of Israel, you insufferable dolt. https://t.co/ytiE2sUv1R

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

Dear George:
He moved nothing.
He acknowledged Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
Thanks.https://t.co/hVkopHxRZj— Roger and 45 others (@Roger247) December 9, 2017
Other than that, solid joke! *Eye roll*

I know.

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

I’m not sure George fully understands what happened this week. Which I guess makes this a pretty standard week. https://t.co/ucLF8jwDb1
