  2. No they don’t. 

    He could read out Mein Kampf during one of his rallies and Republicans will still vote for him.

    Nothing wrong with this. He’s not spreading anti-semitism. He’s courting their vote and is a bigger supporter of Israel than most democrats.

    But faux outrage will rage on

  4. Funny how the guy who claims he’s going to win in a landslide thinks that any shift in a group that makes up 2% of the electorate could cost him the election.

    Not that I would expect Trump to have any idea what percentage of the US population is Jewish, but it’s still a bit of a contradiction.

    >If I don’t win this election — and Jewish people would have a lot to do with that, 60% are voting for the enemy

    There are messages for two audiences here. For his followers, it’s an instruction: “If I lose, you guys know who to blame.” For Jewish voters, it’s a threat: “If you don’t vote for me and I lose, my followers are predisposed to blame you.”

    He’s a cheap thug.

    So the man that has legitimate neo nazis in his fanbase basically said “If I don’t win, it’s the fault of the Jews?”

    Excuse the actual fuck out of me? And his cult questions why he’s called Hitler?

    Do Republicans really squirm at anything Trump says, no matter how vile? Do they? Because if they did, given how much shit he’s talked, they’d be Democrats by now, or at least decline-to-state.

    My previously rock-ribbed Republican mom was so appalled by Trump in general and January 6 in particular that she got on the impeachment train, and volunteered for a Democrat running for Congress.

  9. We know the majority of Jewish people lean right but please open your eyes and ears. Trump isn’t on the right, he is in his own world

  10. Jewish people aren’t as stupid as tRUMP thinks – I cracked up when he said “Kamala Harris hates the Jews”…uh, yeah – she hates them SO much, she *MARRIED ONE!* – her husband is Jewish…HOW FAR WILL SHE GO TO PROVE HOW MUCH SHE HATES THEM???

  11. You would hope they would squirm but they won’t. Instead, the message they’re getting is “oh cool we’re allowed to hate Jews publicly now! Let’s goooo!”

    I want to pretend that this matters or that it brings him down, but honestly no, it doesn’t and it won’t.

    “They eat the dogs” will remain his campaign killer from here on out. No one can help but laugh at it. It’s reflective and laughing at Trump will ultimately bring people together against him, because a laughed at bully impresses no one.
