Can someone explain to me (like I'm a 6 year old)

Why someone of the Jewish faith would support and vote for trump, a man who admires Adolf Hitler?

I’m really mystified.

I trash everyone who votes for Donald Fucking Trump, but it's easier to get why a lot of white men vote for, well, white men. Sexism, for example.

Take Sid Rosenberg, host of the morning show on WABC Radio in NYC. He is outspoken to a fault. He's called any Jew who doesn't vote for Trump to be a "bad Jew". He's insulted Doug Emhoff on air for being a "lousy" Jew. Yet, Sid's Jewish. He's sort of a Jewish jock-sniffer. He gets his rocks off by his proximity to Trump, Lara, and Bibi. He thinks he's on the inside track. My guess is that he's fishing around for a gimmick to get his show syndicated.

As for other Trump-loving Jews, it's enough that they think that Trump loves Israel. (He doesn't.) He moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He gave Bibi the Golan Heights and may well deliver the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza to him as well, given the chance. For all I know, they may privately despise Trump, but they like what he can give them. And they foolishly believe that hanging with Trump means they're safe from antisemitism and terrorism derived from it. (They aren't.)
