What a putz!

 

Trump says Jews who vote for Democrats ‘hate Israel’ and ‘their religion’, igniting a firestorm of criticism from the White House and Jewish leaders. 


 "Jonathan Greenblatt, who heads the Anti-Defamation League, said, 'Accusing Jews of hating their religion because they might vote for a particular party is defamatory & patently false.' ”

"The Pew Research Center reported in 2021 that Jews are “among the most consistently liberal and Democratic groups in the U.S.,” with 7 in 10 Jewish adults identifying with or leaning toward the Democratic Party. In 2020, it found that nearly three-quarters of American Jews disapproved of Trump’s performance as president, with just 27% rating him positively. 

 Americans have also increasingly soured on Israel’s military operation in Gaza, according to surveys from The Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. In January, 50% of U.S. adults said the military response from Israel in the Gaza Strip had gone too far, up from 40% in November."

Trump, living up to his well earned reputation for being an ignorant fool possessing not a single thread of decency.

And his cultists are to blame for letting him believe he's competent and decent enough to lead this country. They bear the major portion of blame for him. Without his cultists, he's nothing.

The MAGA Republican Party and its conservative right wing allies have found the perfect accomplice in this odious individual to usher the country into an authoritarian, dictatorial nightmare governed by repressive ultra right wing policies designed to subjugate, destroy, or imprison anyone who doesn’t agree or go along with their values or beliefs.

Trump is not the genius behind this plot. In fact, he is clearly quite demented, which causes him to say exactly what is on his mind, which sounds so insane that many people don’t take him seriously.

But, we must take him seriously because the right wing foundations, think tanks and other groups are already working feverishly behind the scenes to implement this nightmare scenario that they call Project 2025 if they manage to get him re-elected.

If this happens, America as a democracy and world power will be doomed and China, Russia, and certain Middle East powers will have gotten their wishes fulfilled.

Trump says Jews who vote for Democrats hate their religion and hate Israel, which is roughly 70% of American Jews. Shocking comments come at a time of rising antisemitism in the US.

Antisemitism is a hallmark of rightwing facism. IOW's trump and the gop. America's own facists and antisemites.
