There’s just no pleasing…

Donald Trump was fiercely rebuked on Tuesday after saying that any Jewish person who votes for the Democrats is guilty either of ignorance or “great disloyalty”.

The US President appeared to draw on an antisemitic trope - that Jewish people retain greater loyalty to countries or movements other than their own - while addressing journalists in the Oval Office.

His remarks were attacked by Jewish groups across the political spectrum.

Logan Bayroff, communications director for the left-wing lobby group J-Street, said the President’s words were “dangerous and shameful”, while Johnathan Greenblatt, chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League, said it was “long overdue to stop using Jews as a political football”.....

.....In a statement, J-Streets Logan Bayroff said it was” dangerous and shameful for President Trump to attack the large majority of the American Jewish community as unintelligent and disloyal. But it is no surprise that the president’s racist, disingenuous attacks on progressive women of colour in Congress have now transitioned into smears against Jews”....

.....Halie Soifer, executive director of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, accused the President of “continuing to weaponize and politicize antisemitism” adding that “If this is about Jews being ‘loyal’ to him, then he needs a reality check - we live in a democracy and Jewish support for the [Republican party]has been halved in four years”.

...some people. Bernie Sanders is willing to try, though, saying he is

A proud Jewish person. I have no concerns about voting Democratic. In fact, I intend to vote for a Jewish man to become the next President of the United States.

In his defence, Trump posted

a series of Tweets quoting a claim by conservative radio host Wayne Allyn Root that “Jewish people in Israel love [Donald Trump] like he’s the King of Israel. They love him like he is the second coming of God”

Like “the second coming”? (lol) I doubt that, somehow…however, Benjamin Netanyahu has likened Trump to Cyrus the Great.
