“You’re not going to vote for Pocahontas, I can tell you that much,” Trump said, using his racist nickname for the senator.
Two racist tropes in one short sentence? Wow. He’s some sort of racist-savant, isn’t he?

Though Trump did not mention Omar by name, he recalled her comment last February that “supporting Israel is all about the Benjamins.”
“It is unacceptable,” the president said. “My administration strongly opposes this despicable rhetoric.
If this was fiction, they’d laugh you out of the building. He says this, then repeats that disgusting stereotype himself, plainly stating Jews won’t support Warren because they like their money. Just unbelievable!

And yet I keep reading that it’s left-wing antisemitism that’s the real problem

Trump is projecting, again. All he care’s about is money, so that must be everyone’s motivation. And Trump clearly does not know what it means to be an American. He constantly puts the interests of other countries above ours (e.g., Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey) and thinks others should as well.

The only thing missing would be the charming caricatures from the Nazi propaganda sheets, but I’m sure we could easily find that on his supporters’ social media feeds.

He’s generalized that with the 4th trimester abortion accusation.

Oh, and in the comments in the 10-15-flush-toilet-flush/orange-LED-light gate we were speculating that Trump’s ever-more frequent repetition the same lines might be a sign of cognitive decline.
Trump’s “I can tell you that much” and “believe me” are prime examples.

It was a blatantly anti-semitic speech by Trump. It’s not the first time he has done this, but these remarks did epitomize his Archie Bunker like world view. Guys like Trump should sit at a bar, country club or rant to the tv in a living room. They should not come anywhere near the Presidency.
It’s also clear that the only candidate he has a game plan for is Elizabeth Warren. His Biden plan blew up in his face.

You know that’s an extremely generous reading of his comments here.
Trump went with two antisemitic tropes here…that Jews only care about money, and that American Jews loyalty is to Israel over the United States. He didn’t accidentally trip over those, either. Its his antisemitic, racist world view fully exposing itself. Nor is it even a political strategy to give a wink and a nod to his neo nazi supporters…its just Trump being himself.

“some of you, I don’t like at all, actually — and you’re going to be my biggest supporters because you’ll be out of business in about 15 minutes,” he continued.”
" In spite of the White House being staffed by open Nazis, in spite of me hiring Nazis as consultants, I want you Jews to remember who it is that’s keeping your diamonds and furs in your business and not in the hands of a government agent who will use it to save baby seals.
Your education and book learning won’t save you…(looks down at notes - mumbles) oh wait, wrong speech…"

For once trump poke the truth. Although the same can be said of rich people of all races and religious backgrounds, they are going to vote for the one that allows them to keep and increase their riches, they are single issue voters, themselves.

Under Trump there were two mass shootings in synagogues, unprecedented in American history, where the culprits used language right out of Trumps mouth and Twitter feed.
Willful ignorance from his audience.
