Trump: "Jewish people, that are great people, they don't love Israel enough. You know that."

Trump, speaking to the Israeli American Council: "We have to get the people of our country, of this country, to love Israel more ... because you have people that are Jewish people, that are great people -- they don't love Israel enough. You know that."

I chose not to post it. Suffice it to say that he insulted the audience AND Warren with racist crap, all in the name of propping himself up for 2020.

Trump Says Jews Have ‘No Choice’ But to Vote for Him

"SNIP.....

“President Trump told a conference of American Jews Saturday night that he did not have to worry about getting their votes, because they would cast ballots with business interests in mind,” the Times of Israel reports.

“The comments, made during a speech to the Israeli American council, were quickly derided as anti-Semitic.”

Said Trump: “You have to vote for me, you have no choice. You’re not going to vote for Pocahontas, I can tell you that.”

He added: “You’re not going to vote for the wealth tax. Let’s take 100 percent of your wealth away. No, no. Even if you don’t like me — and some of you don’t, some of you I don’t like at all actually — and you’re going to be my biggest supporters because you’ll be out of business in about 15 minutes.”

......SNIP"

Shhhh...it's a trigger for some; not the actual anti-Semitism, the mention of it.

What this asshole doesn't know (or understand), along with many people, is Israel, while important to many an American Jew, is not our top issue, in many cases, it doesn't even rank in the top ten of our concerns. Poll after poll has shown this, yet it doesn't' sink in for anti-Semites and the perpetually stupid.

I hope people understand this man is an anti-Semite. In understanding this SIMPLE fucking fact, maybe they will also realize making comments about "members of my family", "I support Israel", and "I support/vote for Jewish candidates" doesn't mean they aren't or can't be anti-Semites! "Some of their best friends..."
