Trump to meet with Orthodox Jewish group on heels of Fuentes, Ye dinner

Former president Donald Trump is set to meet with a Orthodox Jewish educational group on Friday, amid ongoing controversy over his decision to dine with two prominent antisemites.

Trump will give a speech before the annual President’s Conference of Torah Umesorah at his club, National Doral, in Miami, a person close to Trump confirmed. The event is part of a days-long gathering that brings together leaders, educators and askanim (Jewish social workers) for the group, which promotes Torah-based religious education and Jewish private day schools.

The event comes at a particularly delicate time for Trump. Over the Thanksgiving holiday break, the former president hosted a dinner at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach with Ye (better known as Kanye West) and white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

Trump subsequently insisted he had no idea who Fuentes was at the time. But he has stopped short of denouncing his or West’s views, which include repeated attacks on Jews as well as — in Fuentes’ case — Holocaust denialism.

9. Orthodox Jews are extremely right wing on average. Extreme Religion is always bad.

The non-Orthodox are probably the second most reliable Democratic demographic (after black women probably). Perhaps part of the reason, besides having a sense of justice from their own hardships, is that they are much more likely to be urban than rural.

I guess they have learned nothing.

D. No thought, just diatribe
E. Condemns
F. Ingratiates himself

OP says this is an educational group. Do you see one thing on this list that would appeal to such a group?
