On his social media site, President Donald Trump shared a screenshot of the text from Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel. Huckabee's also a Baptist minister and a former Arkansas governor.

He opens by referencing last year's attempted assassination of Trump in Pennsylvania, saying Trump was spared by God to be the "most consequential President in a century — maybe ever."

Huckabee says no president in his lifetime "has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945." That's a reference to President Harry Truman's decision to drop an atomic bomb on Japan during World War II.

Trump returned to Washington early Tuesday after leaving an international summit a day ahead of schedule because of the Israel-Iran conflict.

"You did not seek this moment. This moment sought YOU!" Huckabee wrote, adding, "It is my honor to serve you!"
