~3000 years ago, Koresh (aka Cyrus the Great) freed the Jews from Babylonian slavery. He, and the Persians, have been held in high esteem by Jews ever since.
Most Jews stayed in Babylon (later, Iraq) under Persian rule to be the center of Jewish thought while a few religious zealots returned to Jerusalem.
That is, Donald Trump has yet to read a book.
(With the possible exception of his bedside book of Hitler speeches.)
