Trump’s next tweet:

ā€œDon’t be ridiculous, Jews - I suppose you’ll next have the temerity to insist you’re actually Americans!ā€

Trump has seized on recent infighting in the Democratic Party over comments from Omar that were widely perceived as using anti-Semitic tropes and called on the freshman lawmaker to resign over those remarks. Late last month, Trump claimed that Democrats are an ā€œanti-Israelā€ and ā€œanti-Jewishā€ party, even though Jews have historically voted more Democratic than Republican.

It is with profound regret that Republicans will ask President Trump to resign for this anti-Semitic trope. Wait…what’s that? They won’t? That it only applies to Democrats?

tRump is a ā€œYou Peopleā€ type of guy. In his mind all Jews fully support Israel and it’s leadership. Remember, this is the guy that asked African Americans what in the hell do you have to lose? HE’s the guy that responded to the Pope’s criticism of him by saying he would scare the Pope by saying ISIS was coming for him. He’s described Hispanics entering the US illegally as an infestation. He’s referred to majority minority countries as shitholes. Look at his treatment of Puerto Rico, and as a bonus how he refers to Puerto Ricans as anything but US citizens.*

  • I believe that part of tRump’s problems with Puerto Ricans is how he’s treated, or tried to treat, Puerto Ricans working at his hotels and resorts. Since he’s probably unable to conceive of Puerto Rico as a US territory, he probably can think of Puerto Ricans as citizens and not as illegals for wherever. Plus he had a failed golf course in Puerto Rico.

And then there’s the time he asked a black woman reporter to arrange a meeting for him with members of the Congressional Black Caucus, I believe it was, because obviously all ā€˜those’ people know each other. He is an unadulterated bigot who thinks he isn’t.

Admittedly I didn’t watch, but I assume neither Kushner nor Ivanka were on any of the Sunday morning news shows to discuss this, given they are Trump’s closes advisors.

Well at least Trump isn’t their President.

Do any Republican Jews actually care if their own president insults them like this? I’m guessing no.

But I’m sure the Republican Nazis approve.

Typical tRump.

Bibi? He’s just the tRump family’s little secret from the time Fred visited a kibbutz.

Golda Meir…now THAT was a Prime Minister!

Huh… Pretty sure that a Black Muslim Female Congressmember was roundly criticized by all parties for using the term ā€œallegianceā€ in a sentence.

I expect no less than multiple days of headlines and calls for censure, as that appears to be the standard applied.

American evangelicals hold more of a dual loyalty than anyone.

Right?!! While I did feel that Rep. Omar needed to do a better job with her words and I also appreciated that some Jewish folks took honest offense, I’m gonna need to see the same media outrage. There’s not a dimes worth of difference between the interpretation of what she clumsily said and what he obviously said and meant. Again, I’ll be damned if I’m going to tell another minority group how to feel as is so often done to black people by even our white allies, so I’m not going to tell Jewish people how to feel about this. However, this is a blatant suggestion that Jewish Americans are or should be more loyal to Israel than this country. It’s really gross.
