WASHINGTON (JTA) President Donald Trump spent much of his 20-minute call with American Jewish leaders making the case for more American Jews to vote for him. He closed by repeating a line that has raised their eyebrows before.
We really appreciate you, Trump said as he signed off the call, an annual pre-Rosh Hashanah presidential tradition. We love your country also.
...
The comments echoed others he has made in the past that suggest that American Jews think of themselves as Israelis, including at a White House Hanukkah party two years ago.
Trumps comments on the call also blurred the line between White House events and campaigning. Until his presidency, campaign appeals from the White House have been seen as unethical, if not illegal.

Yeah, it's loved because it's needed for End Times. The people who live there, not so much!

Its an old racist trope: the international Jew with no allegiance to any entity other than Israel.

get rid of Roe, take Pence on as VP and promote the evangelical end timer agenda with Israel.
