Donald Trump decided to wish Jewish Americans a happy New Year over
the weekend by basically accusing some of them of voting to destroy the country.
I'm not even kidding.
So here is the image that he shared on Truth Social.
This is what the image say, I'm reading it verbatim.
Just a quick reminder for liberal Jews who voted to destroy America and
Israel because you believed false narratives.
Let's hope you learned from your mistake and make better choices moving forward,
Happy New Year.
He shared that on true social.
Now, underneath what I just read to you is a list of all the great
things he thinks that he did for the Jewish community.
So let's read that to you, Trump, and
pay close attention to the spelling here, okay?
Trump moves the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem,
which is Israel's true capital.
No other president had the balls to do it.
Now above that, it says, Wake up sheep, what Nazi spelled with a t in the middle.
Anti Semite ever did this for the Jewish people or Israel, okay?
Now after that,
it says Trump recognizes Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
And then number three,
Trump recognizes Israel's sovereignty over settlements in Judea and Samaria.
And Trump signs an executive order for
Judaism to be a nationality in addition to a religion, so
it would fall under the category Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
This means that BDS, which is a divestment movement against the Israeli government,
will have a hard time harassing Jewish students on college campuses.
I don't think that's what the point of BDS is, but nonetheless and
then it lists May 2020 Trump signs the Never Again Education bill into law.
And then at the very end, this is my favorite, with a heart emoji, it says,
clearly one of the greatest Antisemites of our time Hashtag Trump 2020 Hashtag Jexit.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah. >> I agree with the Antiemsite part.
>> Speaker 2: Yeah, look.
>> Jesus.
>> I know that he's not confessing, but it reads like a confession.
But he's being sarcastic obviously.
But there's a lot of things here.
First, just on a lighter note, this is the lighter note of this story.
Which grown man doesn't know how to spell Nazi,
let alone a former president of the United States?
And in which former president doesn't ask someone on his staff, hey,
can you proofread the garbage that I'm throwing out there?
So they could say to, Mr President, the t must have been close to the z in
the keyboard and you accidentally put a t in there.
No, just verbal diarrhea, right?
So now they might have told them, Mr President, while you're bragging about not
being anti Semitic, the things you were saying are deeply anti-Semitic.
So saying to Jews that they're trying to destroy America,
I don't know how it could get worse than that.
>> Speaker 1: They're trying to destroy America because they don't support
you, right?
That's what this is about.
He feels entitled to their support and to their votes.
And, look, I really want to get this across as aggressively as I can.
No one is entitled to anything, okay?
I don't care what your politics are,
I don't care what you think you're doing to help any particular community.
You're not entitled to votes from members of that community and
that goes for Biden too.
Remember this moment from Joe Biden, I wanna go to that video of Joe Biden as he
was campaigning for the 2020 presidential election, let's watch.
>> Speaker 3: Do you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or
Trump and you ain't black?
>> Speaker 3: It don't have nothing to do with Trump,
it has to do with the fact I want something for my community.
I would love to see.
>> Speaker 3: Take a look at my record, man I extended the voting racks 25 years.
I have a record that is second to none.
They end up the NAACP has endorsed me every time I've run.
Come on, take a look at the record.
>> Speaker 2: All right, thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
>> Speaker 2: Anyway, thanks, I will come back.
>> Telling black people that they're not black if they don't support you
politically not a good look.
So for anyone on the right who criticized Biden for saying that,
come get your boy, okay?
[LAUGH] Come get Trump,
because that's literally what he's saying to the Jewish community right now.
>> Speaker 2: Yeah and of course, they won't.
And Biden's comments, I think were in fact,
a little worse than they're portrayed not as bad as Trump's.
But because Charlemagne was asking him about his policies, and
he immediately went to, so you're for
Trump, and being for Trump instead of me means you're not black.
No brother, I was asking you about your policies, right?
And so just coz you're not Trump doesn't mean you get to have crappy policies.
So you can see here, this isn't about bias guys.
You can't write, no matter where you are in the political spectrum,
that Jews are destroying America.
I don't care if you add liberal or conservative Jews or
moderate Jews as a qualify, it doesn't matter.
That's crazy talk,
given the history of what's happened to Jews in different countries and
in this country as well, and then saying like you better not make a mistake.
>> Speaker 1: Insane., insane, it's so crazy.
By the way look, I'm going to say something that I'm
worried might come across as offensive, but it is how feel,
why exactly would American Jews living in America care about Israel
more than the policies that impact them in the country they live in?
>> Speaker 2: Anna that's exactly where I was going next.
>> Speaker 2: Is that offensive to say?
>> No, no, it's the exact opposite, hold on.
What he's doing is super offensive because he's saying, okay,
you American Jews obviously I'm gonna only talk to you in the context of Israel.
They're not Israelis, they're Americans.
But he can't get it through his head,
they do not have loyalty to a different country.
That doesn't mean that, hey, Jewish Americans, not all of them but
some of them maybe in a great majority of them have an affinity for Israel.
>> Speaker 1: Is that possible?
>> Speaker 2: Of course that happens to all immigrant communities.
So Turkish immigrants have affinity for Turkey etc,
but we are not citizens of Turkey.
And especially for come, most of them did not come from Israel.
Most Jews in America are not first generation or
second generation immigrants.
They've been here a long, long time.
They've probably been here as long as the Trump family has been here from Germany,
and I think his mom was from Scotland.
And in fact, it is usually an anti Semitic trope to imply
that they have loyalties to something other than the Germans.
There was a guy in Germany with a funny mustache who said,
if you're not loyal to me, then you're destroying Germany and
you better watch out and not make those mistakes, right?
And he said, they have a loyalty to themselves,
to the Jewish community above Germany.
And that was one of the things that made people super angry and
helped to start of course a disastrous Holocaust.
So look, it doesn't mean that Trump's gonna start the Holocaust tomorrow.
It doesn't mean that he doesn't have a Jewish son in law or
that he had Jewish friends at some point in his life.
But does he believe every stereotype about Jews?
Yes, so he goes to Republican Jewish meetings and
nobody likes to negotiate more than this room.
>> Speaker 1: My God.
>> Hold on, I actually want to go,
we have the receipts in case you might have missed that content.
So back in 2015, he was speaking at the Republican Jewish Coalition,
and here's what he said.
>> Speaker 4: I'm a negotiator like you folks, we're negotiators.
Do you wanna renegotiate deals?
Some of us renegotiate deals, I would say about 99.9,
is there anybody that doesn't renegotiate deals in this room?
This room negotiates, I wanna renegotiate this room,
perhaps more than any room I've ever spoken to.
>> [APPLAUSE].
>> Maybe more.
>> [APPLAUSE]. >> It's okay.
>> [APPLAUSE]. >> I've been called on that a couple of
times too.
>> Speaker 4: You're not gonna support me even though you know I'm the best thing
that could ever happen to Israel, and I'll be that.
And the real I know why you're not gonna support me, and
you're not gonna support me because I don't want your money.
You don't wanna give me money, okay?
But that's okay, you wanna control your own politician, that's fine.
>> Speaker 1: I never saw that part about him saying, I don't want your money.
>> Speaker 2: Yeah, so look guys, you want to talk about lobbyists and APAC and
Democratic majority for Israel, that is totally within bounds.
That is a conversation about American politics.
But when you go into a room filled with Republican Jewish leaders and you go,
I don't want your money, and I know that's how you control others.
My God, it doesn't get any more anti Semitic than that.
>> Speaker 1: Later by the way, he repeatedly questioned American Jews and
their loyalty to Israel.
So I mean, this is exactly what the latest story is about.
So let's take a look at that video.
>> And I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat,
I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.
In my opinion you vote for a Democrat, you're being very disloyal to
Jewish people and you're being very disloyal to Israel, and
only weak people would say anything other than that.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, in a Pew Research survey conducted roughly 5 to twelve
months before the 2020 presidential election, nearly three-quarters of
Jewish adults disapproved of the job Trump was doing as president,
while just 27% rated him positively.
He gets the most support among Orthodox Jewish people within the Jewish community,
but obviously they don't make up the majority of Jewish Americans, and
he's super salty that he doesn't have majority support from them.
>> Speaker 2: Yeah, so real quick, bunch of things in a row here.
First of all, Jewish Americans are among the most solidly Democratic voting
minorities in the country, but there are a number of Jewish Americans that
are in Republican circles and on television.
So it makes it look like, it's 50 50.
It's not 50 50, and that's why Donald Trump is super frustrated.
But unfortunately, the media also gives you the impression that, my God,
Jewish voters love BB, Netanyahu and the right wing of the Israeli government, etc.
No, they don't, no they don't, they don't vote that way.
And they're not Israeli citizens, they're your citizens.
And he keeps saying, they're being disloyal to Israel.
Well, good news, they're not Israeli citizens, so they don't have to worry
about being disloyal to a country they're not citizens.
And just because you're not a right winger here in America or
in regards to Israel doesn't make you disloyal to the country.
Okay, back to the renegotiating thing.
He's not talking about just negotiations, he's saying renegotiating.
And renegotiating is when you already have a deal and
then you screw someone at the end.
Now, that's Trump 101, I've talked to you about that in the past.
He does that all the time.
He's about to go do an event, and everybody's already marketed it,
hyped it, etc.
At the last second, he goes, I'm not coming.
And they go, what are you doing?
He's like, now my rate's four times higher.
He's such a jerk.
So he goes into a room full of Republican Jewish leaders, and he assumes,
while you guys are just as bad as me, if not worse the whole room.
He kept saying the whole room 99.9% of you.
How the hell do you know who the hell is in the room?
Other than the fact that they're Republicans,
of course he thinks, yeah, Jews.
They're always renegotiating deals.
They're always looking out for themselves, always screwing people at the last minute.
No brother, that's you, stop projecting that onto Jewish Americans.
And so finally, why did he do that long laundry list of things that conservative
Israelis wanted and some conservative Americans wanted, right?
Two reasons one is, evangelical community, we want Armageddon.
Make sure you do all these things that is gonna lead to Jesus coming back.
But of course, it's kind of inconvenient coz a lot of Muslims and
Jews have to die in the process.
But let's take those steps, but there's a second reason and
that I talk about in my book, Justice Is Coming.
Sheldon Adelson gave Donald Trump $100 million twice to him and
his PACs, both in 2016 and 2020.
And he gave him a laundry list, and he said,
these are the things I want from you since I bribed your sorry ass.
Now, we don't have him on the record saying, bribe your sorry ass, but
the list is obvious.
And one of the things that Adelson wanted was he wanted to move
the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Another thing he wanted was the Presidential Medal of Freedom for
his wife.
And Trump gave that to him too, like it was a Chachki.
Okay, so this guy's disgusting.
And by the way again for Donald Trump,
Sheldon Adelson does not represent all Jewish Americans.
And in fact, the thing you're frustrated about is that he most definitely doesn't.
Three quarters vote against you, so sad day for you, go cry about that.
