Israel becoming a nation in 1948 AD was a non-event in Bible prophecy. You will search in vain if you look for the verse that says re-establishing a Jewish nation will start the clock - any clock - running. The people who tell you this are literally nuts, and their every prediction has been false. First it was "40 years after 1948", then it was "40 years after 1967", now some of them are saying "sometime before the last baby born in 1948 dies"? Gimme a break. Matthew 24 doesn't prophecy any particular time. Jesus even admits that He does not know. Matt. 24:36. Nor is there any prediction about any particular precursor before the tribulation - the tribulation is the precursor. No particular generation that "will not pass away until ..." is specified. The only thing specified is this: He and it will come at an hour when you do not expect them. So anytime anyone tells you that there are signs, and we now know when to expect it, either that guy is deceiving you, or Jesus deceived you. Matt. 24:44. Either way, yeah, you will suffer ridicule if you think you know something that Jesus said was unknowable. There are no clues to miss. There's no reason to keep looking for them, especially if you're looking for them in the Trump administration.
