When Hillary said that a certain percentage of Trump’s followers were “deplorables”, everyone acted like it was the end of the freaking world. Here Trump is once again smearing Jews who don’t support him as self-hating traitors, and you can all but guarantee the media will ignore or downplay it.
This low energy reunion tour isn’t gonna draw like the summer of ‘16. They’re playing the old hits, but the vibe is too sour and the crowds are staying away.
Trump is the most dangerous man walking the planet - not because he is a brilliant potential leader, as he has repeatedly stated and his supporters echo , but because overconfidence and sheer idiocy are a lethal combination.
I am completely untroubled by Donald Trump calling me a bad Jew and anti-Israel for being a Democratic activist for 44 years (since I was 10).
I am somewhat concerned that some of my fellow Jews support this fascist wretch of an excuse for a man.
I’m heartened that a majority of Jews are Dems.
“Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion,' Mr. Trump added later."
Fucking antisemitic piece of shit
If he'd like, I'll say it in Yiddish
I remember when Ilhan Omar criticized AIPAC and was denounced for trafficking in “dual loyalty” anti-Semitic tropes, and apologized. Meanwhile Trump does this garbage regularly and there is nowhere near the same pushback. He and anyone who agrees with him about this can go f— themselves.
None of this is aimed at actually convincing Jews. This is theater for Evangelicals and other Christian Zionists, who have plenty of opinions about Israel without having actual family connections there.
My dad used that line on me and my now-ex once, as he got up in age. I immediately responded by banning all and any political talk at our (small) family gatherings and we had a wonderful ten years together as a family. I'm just saying, have we tried telling Trump to shut up, it worked for my family
This reminds me of the "those people are not real Christians" statements I've heard all my life. Or the surprise in my childhood pastor's voice when he would tell people from the pulpit, "and some Catholics might be good enough to go to heaven too..."
