Can someone explain why Trump gets to decide what the capital of some other country is? And then explain why it is pissing so many people off to an extreme level?

I mean if Isreal said "the capital of the USA is now New York, so we are moving our embassy there"... I probably say that's stupid but I wouldn't be in the streets throwing rocks and burning things.

EDIT: ok after some research this is only being done to piss muslims off right?

The Israeli right wants to assert full control over Jerusalem instead of it being a shared city. Same thing its doing with settlement encroachment into the West Bank. The US putting its embassy there puts its stamp of approval on the policy.
