Why is his "obsession" with Israel, as you refer it, "unhealthy"? And absurd? Really? While some of you people celebrate a tradition that is a both pagan and heathen practice, Trump reminds us of Passover which is actually a biblical holiday documented in the bible. Easter is a pagan holiday that has no purpose being celebrated on a day of Passover. The Lord would never encourage the Israelites to celebrate or partake in a heathen pagan practice which He referred to as an abomination. This is the ugly truth that Trump basically was saying and somehow you just didn't get it.

Relatively speaking.
Trump is an American President whose prime directive is AMERICA. NOT Israel. His attentions and energies are focused more on Israeli policy and observance than it should; Perhaps this attention and obsession is partially a matter of family relations as his daughter and son-in-law are Jewish. OR maybe it's political.
Trump has been acting in deed and word as though Israel is the 51st state. And I say this as an avid supporter of Israel and its sovereignty.

What Donald Trump did NOT do:
Trump did NOT celebrate or stress Easter Sunday as the historic/spiritual event that indeed merits its symbolic celebration of the Risen Christ -- also a "documented" Biblical event. That makes it un-arguably THE Holy-est of Christian celebratory observance. Or do you disagree?
Now if Trump wants to pay homage to Passover (a Jewish celebratory observance), do so -- but pay it homage SEPARATELY and then respect American and World Christians on Easter Sunday. There is no more important event in the history of Mankind, or of Christians. Trump made it SECONDARY, mentioning it in passing. THAT was one embarrassingly "ugly" observance of Easter Sunday.
Easter is a pagan holiday that has no purpose being celebrated on a day of Passover.
Again, I've just clarified why Easter Sunday is NOT a Pagan holiday. Secular commercialism AND Pagans make Easter "Pagan" with their bunny/eggs/fertility symbolism; I get it. But Pagan rites doesn't invalidate the observance of Easter as a "Christ-ian" holiday.
The Lord would never encourage the Israelites to celebrate or partake in a heathen pagan practice which He referred to as an abomination. This is the ugly truth that Trump basically was saying and somehow you just didn't get it.
The Lord the encourages the same Israelites to acknowledge, worship HIM as Fulfillment of Prophecy -- instead of worshiping The Law. Given this, what's more of an "abomination" than rejecting Jesus Christ? For what it's worth I understand your position regarding the hijacking of Christian holidays and blending them in with Pagan holidays and ritual. Blame Constantine and the subsequent pontiffs who managed to integrate Pagan/Roman/Babylonian gods/goddesses and their Holidays and intertwine them.
Easter remains the symbolic celebratory observance of the Risen Jesus Christ. Despite the chocolate bunnies and Cadbury eggs. And Christmas remains a symbolic celebratory observance of the birth of Jesus Christ -- despite the Pagan origin of trees and Santa.
