The other night Trump was speaking at a Combat Anti-Semitism Event in Washington, DC,
BOY! THAT’S RICH!!
where he told his audience of Jewish folks that if he lost the election it would “be their fault” and that the Jewish people “had never treated him fairly”. (He just can’t help himself.)
Donald J. Trump has disparaged the Jewish community on so many levels over the years:
In December 2015, Trump gave a speech before the Republican Jewish Coalition, saying, “I’m a negotiator like you folks, we are negotiators … Is there anybody that doesn’t renegotiate deals in this room? This room negotiates them — perhaps more than any other room I’ve ever spoken in.”
Trump has focused particular ire on George Soros (Hungarian-American businessman, investor, and philanthropist. As of October 2023, he had a net worth of $6.7 billion, having donated more than $32 billion to the Open Society Foundations) . He baselessly accused him of funding protesters of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and suggested Soros could be funding the refugee caravan — lending credence to the conspiracy theory that world Jewry is conspiring to bring immigrants into the United States to replace white people (thus the “Jews will not replace us” chant in Charlottesville).
It bears repeating that this kind of thing is very close to what you find in Mein Kompf, by Adolf Hitler.
He was heard to say: “I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”
Trump has repeatedly suggested that “Jews who vote for Democrats are disloyal to Israel and their faith.”
In 2019, he said, “I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty”
Trump has also targeted prominent Jewish political figures. For example, he called Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro a “highly overrated Jewish Governor.”
Donald Trump hosted Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J. Hale-Cusanelli is a white supremacist and Nazi sympathizer, who was heard to tell his coworkers (at a naval weapons station) that “Hitler should have finished the job” and “babies born with any deformities or disabilities should be shot in the forehead.”
Fact check #5: Does Donald know Laura Loomer, unashamed racist, xenophobe (fear and dislike of anyone from a different country/culture) and all around Looney Tune, his VERY ‘close’ friend and confidant, is a Jewish woman? Laura Loomer is of Jewish descent. She was raised in Arizona and identifies as ethnically, culturally, and politically Jewish. She is quoted as saying: “Roger Stone is one of my personal heroes.”
