U.S. President Donald Trump recently leaked a private text message from the American ambassador to Israel, sparking widespread concern about what might unfold next.
In the message, Mike Huckabee praised the 79-year-old Republican as “the most consequential president in a century—perhaps ever,” claiming that God had “spared” him during his assassination attempt in July 2024 so he could address the growing conflict between Iran and Israel.
According to AP News, Israeli airstrikes since Friday, June 13, have killed at least 224 people.
Meanwhile, Iranian missile attacks have reportedly caused 24 deaths and left over 500 injured.
The text begins with Huckabee writing: “Mr. President, God spared you in Butler, PA, to be the most consequential President in a century—maybe ever. The decisions resting on your shoulders are ones I wouldn’t want anyone else to make.
“You have many voices speaking to you, Sir, but only ONE voice truly matters—His voice. I am your appointed servant here and am available whenever you need me, though I do not seek your presence often because I trust your instincts.”
Huckabee continued with lavish praise: “No President in my lifetime has faced a position like yours, not since Truman in 1945. I don’t contact you to persuade, but only to encourage.
“I believe you will hear from heaven, and that voice far outweighs mine or anyone else’s.
“You sent me to Israel to be your eyes, ears, and voice—to ensure our flag remains flying above the embassy. My duty is to be the last to leave. I will not abandon this post. Our flag will NOT come down!”
He closed the message by saying: “You did not seek this moment. This moment sought YOU! It is my honor to serve you!” and signed off as ‘Mike Huckabee.’
On Tuesday, June 17, Trump posted a screenshot of the private text on Truth Social, describing Huckabee as “a Pastor, Politician, Ambassador, and Great Person!”
The message quickly drew strong reactions on social media.
One X user condemned it as “one of the most pathetic things I’ve read from a U.S. government official. The level of groveling is nauseating. Heretical in so many ways, and an insult to our Lord.”
Another commented, “Aw sh*t, it’s getting biblical now. We’re doomed.” A third wrote simply, “Omg wtf is this.”
A final user criticized the message sharply: “In what world would Jesus Christ encourage war and mass murder? Jesus stood for peace and love—the complete opposite of what you promote. Shame on you.”
