Trump said Jews are only in it for themselves and suggested they werent loyal to America: White House officials
A new report claims that President Donald Trump has privately accused American Jews of being more loyal to one another than to the United States.
Both current and former White House officials tell the Washington Post that Trump one time ranted about American Jews after getting off a phone call with Jewish lawmakers.
Specifically, the Posts sources say the president has muttered that Jews are only in it for themselves and stick together in an ethnic allegiance that exceeds other loyalties.

(3,803 posts)It's the only time he tells the truth. Just replace that target of his projection with I/me/we/us/mine/our/ours, and you know it's 100% accurate.
If I/me/we/us/mine/our/ours is already there, you know it's 100% lie.

(53,921 posts)It comes in all stripes, but challenging and questioning the loyalty of Jews is almost as old as the Jews themselves. While other groups, from time to time and circumstance to circumstance, face similar charges, none, that I can think of, have been accused of this for as long and on a global scale.

(13,776 posts)He's not even trying to hide it, and in the United States of America he still has his 40% base! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE??? He's a Russian-puppet Nazi! Admittedly the Russian puppet part is under wraps, but the Nazi part is out in broad daylight. I know that's a feature, not a bug, for a lot of his followers, but surely not all???
