What Trump said:

If any Jewish person voted for Joe Biden, they should be ashamed of themselves

[–] AnAnonymous@lemm.ee 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Trump will sell his mother for votes.. he is even more radical Zionist than Biden.

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 36 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I don’t actually think he’s a Zionist. He’s a me-ist. Whatever he thinks will get the cheering section louder. He doesn’t consider anyone to be real. Just toys in a game.

He's racist, so he's fuck the brown people.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He certainly is... but he's also "Fuck everyone who doesn't have the last name Trump."

[–] Tujio@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I mean, I think he wants to fuck a couple of the people with that last name.

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

He gets turned on by blood… relatives.

Trump Heights, a Golan Heights development, named by Netanyahu after Trump repealed the 50-year-old sanctions on Israel developing on Palestinian territory, might speak to some Zionism. Pro-Israel capitalism at a minimum.

I see what you’re saying, but it has more to do with real estate and money than it does Zionism.

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Stupidity. Most of them are clueless and just hate unabashedly.

[–] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Didn't seem like he attacked Jews really, but he made it very clear he thinks of them as an "other" who are unified in their thought process and aligned with Israel.

Like with white people he's trying to win as many white votes as possible so he goes to a white working class coal mine in West Virginia and a (non-union but middle class) car part manufacturer in Michigan and a rural state fair.

American Jews are just the US-based Israel contingent, to him. Israel has turned extremely right wing and the leader Bibi likes Trump, why aren't US jews voting 100% in line with "their leader?"

This is a classic antisemitic trope.
