In a speech before the Israeli American Council, ostensibly to speak out against anti-Semitism, former President Trump claimed Jews would bear some of the blame should he lose to Vice-President Harris in November.
Trump claimed, “In my opinion the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss.”
For starters, if Trump were to lose, the first thing he would say is that the election was rigged and that he won by a lot as he has since November 7, 2020. Trump will never concede. Thus, he does not get to say the election was rigged but it's still the fault of the Jews if Harris beats him. He cannot have it both ways.
But what can one expect of a man who claims that Jews who don't vote for him hate their religion and hate Israel? As I argued back in March:
Jews in this country don't need lectures from someone who breaks bread with neo-Nazis nor someone who saw fit to publicly denounce Israel's leaders only hours after it was attacked by Hamas instead of offering sympathy. Trump is a fair-weather friend to Israel if there ever was one.
For bad measure, Trump also complained Jewish voters hadn't treated him right. If this is Trump's idea of persuasion, it isn't going to work. Not with me and not with most American Jewish voters.
Donald Trump isn't entitled to my vote. It must be earned. The onus is not on how the voters, Jewish or otherwise, treats Trump but how Trump treats the voters. And Trump treats people like garbage.
As Trump himself put it, "I don't care about you. I just want your vote. I don't care."
Trump can howl all he wants. This Jew isn't going to give Trump his vote and there's not a damn thing he can do about it.
