Trump's anti-Semitism

Let’s hope he doesn’t say that Jewish voters are eating people’s pets.

I don’t think he’s particularly anti-Semitic as there are Jews within his family, he’s just being DT as usual, assuming they’re all going to vote for him.

Wyllow3 I agree and understand the bit about blaming a small proportion of the population, (whoever they may be) but I still don't understand the white supremacy reference in your post.

Sorry if I'm being thick- and I'm not sparring for an argument at all - I just can't get the connection.

"Whoever a majority of the Jewish community votes for, Jews – roughly 2 percent of the U.S. population – cannot and should not be blamed for the outcome of the election. Setting up anyone to say “we lost because of the Jews” is outrageous and dangerous. Thousands of years of history have shown that scapegoating Jews can lead to antisemitic hate and violence."

He's encouraging an already existing white supremacy trope which is increasing in the USA. Anything, anything for votes.

Apologies Wyllow3: but I'm missing the point here - what has the voting behaviour of the Jewish community got to do with him encouraging a white supremacy trope?

He's openly picking on and criticising Jewish people and that's going to go out in Truth Social and buy into preexisting quite vicious anti semitism.

Thats what the the nonpartisan American Jewish Committee feel and I agree.

This is what they've said:

I don't have any time for Donald Trump, but given his son-in-law - who had a very senior role when Trump was President - is Jewish and his daughter converted to Judaism I'm not absolutely sure I'd tar him with the anti-semite label.

The man has no filter and let's face it, he's said some pretty dreadful things about women, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like them.

The article quotes him as questioning the voting behaviour of the Jewish community but it's fairly standard for politicians to voice their opinions about the voting behaviour of different sections of the population but it's not necessarily prejudicial.

I agree with you.

Agree totally

He opens his gob and just lets anything come out, the man has verbal diarrhoea.
And having a President like this again, but older and more erratic, scares me, and should scare all of us.

I've said its before and I'll say it again: I am far far more worried by Trump voters than Mr Trump1

He’s just a horrible, deluded, discriminating, pathetic excuse for a man.

He’ll bring anyone, any cohort, any race, any religion, down if he thinks he should!

It's not a one off, he's said similar things many times.

Trump is many things but anti Semitism is not one of them. Throwing around accusations like that doesn’t help his opponents in any way. Keep to the facts- heaven knows there are enough of 5hem!

It makes me despise him even more. God help America if he gets voted in again.
