(205,684 posts)Former President Donald Trump wrote that "U.S. Jews have to get their act together" on his social media platform Truth Social Sunday morning, saying "no President has done more for Israel than I have."
"U.S. Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel - Before it is too late!" Trump wrote.
Trump, whose daughter, Ivanka, converted to Judaism, has long touted his 2017 decision to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner's work attempting to negotiate peace in the Middle East.

Minorities, generally, they despise - but Jews (and Asians), they fear and loathe.
