He spews hate, racism, bigotry, 24/7, yet he’s not responsible for this sheeple doing the same?

That’s your argument?

So, Trump has a kapo…

I’m sure somewhere in the Talmud or Midrash there’s probably something along those very lines…Perhaps Mr. Greenblatt should open up a ‘good book’ and devote more extensive time to his studies as an Orthodox Jew and devote less time defending bigots in sheep’s clothing.

Trump’s “Jewish Adviser,” Trump’s “Head of Hispanic Media Relations.”

Tough jobs, no doubt. But hey, if it doesn’t work out they can always try and get a gig as Colonel Sanders’ “Director of Chicken/Human Relations.” Same basic skill set.

So Trump’s hired a Jew to be his “Jew Counter?” Who new?

Um…

Many of Trump’s policies (demonizing ethnic groups, proposing a ban on Muslims entering into the U.S.) are right out of the Hitler/Nazi playbook. Any Jew who supports Trump should be ashamed of himself.

Ever notice just how often Trump and Sanders have to deny responsibility for the views and actions of their surrogates and supporters?

“[It] really bothers me that people think that he constantly has to repeat statements he has said before,” Greenblatt said.

Trump certainly doesn’t seem to have a problem repeating himself, when he likes the sound of what falls out his piehole.

Jewish Trump apologist? Please…PLEASE…someone find an exit from the Twilight Zone! I can’t take it in here much longer!

Ah, #22 on a list of 25 bits of insane, offensive gibberish Drumpf has uttered at one time or another. Needless to say, 25 bits are a mere sampling of the smorgasbord of rancid dreck regurgitated by John/John/Don.

Rancid Dreck. Didn’t he used to be one of Trump’s spokesmen back in the 90s?

Absolutely. After R. Dreck finished speaking, there were so many pools of bile and other viscous, virulent fluids contaminating the area that it was necessary to summon a HazMat team. Just like Drumpf.

Note to Katherine Krueger: Until trump releases his tax returns, we don’t know that trump is in fact a billionaire. So he should not be described as such in the media, based solely on his own claims and self-valuation.

I want to HEAR him say it. I want a LINK to where he denounces it. Not any half ass ‘I am against it but SOME people, MANY people think…’ crap where he takes both sides. Pulling out all these sole Jews, Indians, Trump U subscribers is irritating when there are so many MORE that think he is a white nationalist.

39

It’s mostly true that Trump hasn’t encouraged anti-Semitism specifically, but when you have openly racist rhetoric that attracts white nationalists, that comes with the package whether you like it or not. So, yes, he is responsible for it.

Perhaps this particular advisor thinks that bigotry is fine unless it’s directed at his particular religion.
