Trump Says ‘American Jews Don’t Love Israel Enough’ Because They Did Not Vote for Him

Donald Trump will never understand how anyone voted against him. To him, he was quite obviously the “best” in everything. He couldn’t have been more perfect in every way. His brain cannot process how anyone could oppose him. This type of thinking will become increasingly dangerous, we promise. Keep in mind, this man still controls nearly every detail of the GOP.

Trump told Ami, a very conservative Jewish Magazine, that American Jews were disloyal to Israel if they voted against him as if the only issue American Jews should have in mind when voting is Israel’s fate, at not infrastructure, competence, how he handled COVID, etc. etc. Moreover, Trump doesn’t seem to know that there are liberal Israelis that didn’t support all he did regarding Israel. We suppose they are disloyal, too.

That doesn’t matter. What matters is that they needed to vote for him and if they didn’t it was strange:

“I did the Heights, I did Jerusalem, and I did Iran… I believe we got 25 percent of the Jewish vote, and it doesn’t make sense. It just seems strange to me.”

Trump added: “Jewish people who live in the United States don’t love Israel enough. Does that make sense to you? I’m not talking about Orthodox Jews.

What? Orthodox Jews obviously love Israel if they voted for Biden? Or he assumes that all Orthodox Jews voted for him? Obviously, the comment doesn’t necessarily need to “make sense” or relay an actual thought. It is his assumption that he was perfect in his deals with Israel, and Jews base their entire vote on Israel that is offensive – at least from our standpoint.

Two replies were particularly strong:

That is simpleton, racist, and arrogant Donald Trump, while also pandering despite his anti-Semitism, wrapped up in one big bow. It is Trump.
