Trump is taylor made to be a Holocaust denier. If Bannon or some other arbitrary white supremacist tells him it never happened, he would be fully ready to believe it.

Alt Trump: I am not really proud but my daughter is Jewish. Get over it.

This is getting really fā€™ing frightening. How do you commemorate the Holocaust without mentioning Jews? Or homosexuals, the disabled, Romaniā€¦ I guess Bannon would rather not acknowledge that it was ā€œthose peopleā€ who were exterminated - or he and Trump might have to pretend they care.

Give him a break! Trumpā€™s base includes Nazi Holocaust denialists and Christian Fundamentalists who fetishize Israel.

Magic Jonhson couldnā€™t thread that needle.

ā€œTrump did not explicitly mention Jews in his Friday statementā€¦ā€

Shabbat shalom to you, too, Donald.

I have been wondering how how the Rā€™s are going to square the circle on the issue of having obvious anti-semites in the WH while backing Israel to the hiltā€¦

Or this just another text-book example of doublethink?

Of course not, he didnā€™t want to hurt Bannon and the rest of his Alt-Right followers feelings. He was on thin ice with them as it was talking about ā€œNazi terrorā€ like the Naziā€™s were the bad guys.

Iā€™m sure Iā€™m in the minority and I mean absolutely no disrespect, but anytime I hear the word ā€œHolocaustā€ I think of the Jewish victims. WAY more so than the other victims, which I realize there were. Is it REALLY disrespectful to not mention Jews in relation to the Holocaust? Serious Question.

I could see the point if all the other targeted groups were mentioned and the Jews left out, but itā€™s very much a ā€œgivenā€ for me that the main victims of the Holocaust were Jews.

WTF? How do you not mention Jews in a Holocaust Statement?

I wonder how good Bibi and Likud are feeling now about their support for Trump.

ā€œIn the name of the perished, I pledge to do everything in my power throughout my Presidency, and my life, to ensure that the forces of evil never again defeat the powers of good."

Good thing he threw the ā€œmy lifeā€ words in there, otherwise I would have read it as a suicide announcement.

Iā€™d say it depends on whether or not you picked a Nazi as one of your Chief Strategic Advisors.
