Donald Trump Wishes ‘Liberal Jews’ a Happy New Year by Accusing Them of Destroying America
The leading Republican presidential candidate took to Truth Social to joke that he is “the greatest Anti Semites of our time”
Donald Trump decided to take time during Rosh Hashanah — the start of the Jewish High Holy days and the celebration of the New Year — to blame “liberal Jews” for voting to destroy America and Israel.
“Just a quick reminder for liberal Jews who voted to destroy America & Israel because you believed in false narratives!,” he wrote on Truth Social on Sunday, presumably referring to the American Jewish support for Joe Biden in the 2020 election. “Let’s hope you learned from your mistake & make better choices moving forward!”
The leading Republican presidential candidate then shared what appeared to be a flyer boasting of Trump’s record on Israel and pro-Jewish causes. “Wake Up Sheep. What Nazi / Anti Semite ever did this for the Jewish people or Israel?” the flyer reads. The flyer goes on to crow about moving the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem (“no other president had the balls to do it”) and endorsing “Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights” and “over settlements in Judea & Samaria” — also known as the West Bank. The flyer also mentions Trump’s signing the “Never Again” Education Bill into law, which funds Holocaust awareness — which was praised by organizations, such as the Anti-Defamation League. “Clearly, one of the Greatest Anti Semites of our time!” the flyer jokes.
Strangely, it neglects Trump’s notorious statement that neo-Nazi marchers in Charlottesville, Virginia were “very fine people.” Or his speech in front of prominent Republican Jews, telling them that they were manipulative money-grubbers. Or his dinner with Kanye West after the rapper tweeted that he was “going death con3 on JEWISH people.”
The time in between Rosh Hoshanah and Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, is when Jews are supposed to ask for forgiveness from those they may have hurt. Trump used this faithful, soul-searching time to make it about himself.
It’s unlikely to have much impact; American Jews have traditionally voted overwhelmingly for Democrats — and 2024 looks to be a continuation of the trend. According to a poll by the Jewish Electoral Institute, which found among 800 Jewish voters, Biden leads Trump by 72 percent.
By the way, I'm a liberal Jew. Most of what Trump mentioned as "things he did to help Jews" were for Israel. Jews =/= Israel no matter how often the Republicans say "vote for us because we support Israel."
Trump could do amazing things for Israel, but that doesn't matter to me - especially when he cozies up to and encourages Nazis.
GOP policy on Israel is used in domestic politics as a tool to pander to Christian evangelicals and fundamentalists who believe it will put the US on the right side of Biblical end times prophecy.
IOW it’s just batshit and has nothing to do with “helping Jews.” On the contrary, they believe Jews will ultimately mass convert to Christianity when Jesus flies back on a white horse while shooting swords out of his mouth.
Please, he'd obviously be shooting M4 Carbines from his mouth, not swords. And you forgot to mention how his totally-not-middle-eastern definitely-white skin would gleam in the sun, while his I-swear-it's-natural blond hair flies defiantly behind him and his definitely-indistinguishably bright blue eyes shoot holy lasers at the heathens.
Trump and Netanyahu are like two peas in a pod.
More like 2 mines in a field
And I am so tired of having to justify being a Jew that doesn't support Israel. Either against right-wingers who expect me to when I don't or people who just think all Jews support Israel, which I don't. I'm not an Israeli, I'm an American. If you want to talk to me about my culpability as an American citizen, let's talk about it. But don't associate me with Israel just because I'm a Jew.
What do you mean you don't support a right wing militant theocracy? What do you mean you don't support invading the west bank and displacing people who were there thousands of years before you started moving in? What do you mean you don't support apartheid? What do you mean you don't support imprisoning two million people in gaza, an open air prison critically lacking water, electricity, medicine, and any opportunity whatsover, in an area the size of Washington DC? You must be a self loathing jew. /s
I feel like I’m having dejavu.
By the way, I'm a liberal Jew.
The real question here is why are you turning Ukrainian solders gay instead of using your space lasers to burn down Russia
Signing the Never Again Bill into law
Oh GOOD. You did so much to help us by reminding people the only fucking thing they know about us is the fucking Holocaust. Not any of our culture achievements, food influences, language influencea or anything else. Just the time we were fucking genocided. Eat a dick you fat fuck
Christian here, but I've gotta hand it to you guys: You have fantastic food and music (and seriously know how to party, from what I've heard). I wouldn't want to live anywhere that didn't have the yumminess you brought to the literal table. Beyond that, your traditions surrounding mourning are really beautiful. I love that you prioritize taking the time to sit with the loss of your loved one and really give it the weight it deserves. The continual building of resting places is another one - what a great way to honor those who have passed before us!
L'shana tova, friend! I hope you have a great 5784. :)
Thank you so much. It gets to be such a thing that the first (and often only) thing people ever mention is the Holocaust. It's a horrific tragedy but it also doesn't define us as a people.
We're so much more than that but asking the average layman you'd think Jews were slaves then genocide 2000+ years later.
Speaking from the the Collective of queer identities, Republican Nazis ain't great at recognizing how boring their culture would be without the creative and cultural contributions of the people they hate.
Making something of significant cultural value? Try that in a small town.
Yeahhhhh this is a nazi dog whistle in a nutshell. I mean Trump is pretty much one big nazi dog whistle. My heart goes out to all the Jewish communities who have to deal with this nazi bullshit yet again.
Seven years ago I thought people branding Trump a Nazi were being melodramatic. But now I feel like I owe every leftist an apology.
He's going full Kanye with the Jew hate...
Eh, I saw it as Kanye going full Trump....
The chicken or the egg, really.
I was going on some interviews during the 2016 election. One of them had the news on and they were talking about something Trump said. I remember remarking that every time something like that comes up, I assume they must be exaggerating, but each time it's exactly what he said and meant.
I definitely thought it was safe to say that at the time because there was no way that Trump would be elected.
I firstly presumed he said outlandish shit to rile up a Republican audience and was going to pivot against Hillary. He polled heavily in the primaries because of the outrageous and xenophobic crap he spouted and the free publicity that the press gave him. Other candidates in the primaries like DeSantis have taken note.
Charlie from Charisma on Command did a whole video on why he thought Trump would smash Hillary, to the point of placing a $1,000 bet on him winning at the bookies.
He's probably swimming in cash from that bet now
this shit ain't even a dogwistle is a fuckin megaphone
Why do americans support israel so much, especially blindly/ignoring any problems? they don't have any historical relation to it right?
Death cultists trying to usher in their prophesied end of the world by propping up a new kingdom of god.
I've always thought it's because they're not Iran / Muslim. Israel is an important geopolitical ally in a region that is quite hostile to the US generally.
religious nutbaggery
A couple of other posters have touched on it, but it largely comes down to religious bullshit. American evangelicals strongly believe in the end times prophecy, and Jerusalem being in the hands of the Jewish people is a major factor. Beyond that, the bible states that god gave Jerusalem to the Jewish people in perpetuity, and so anything that preserves "god's will" in that respect must therefore be Good.
Here's a WaPo article from about 5 years ago that digs into it, with a related poll, for more information. There are others, this was just the first I easily found: https://archive.ph/ilg51
It's rich that Trump thinks stances favorable towards Israel should buy him good will with the American Jewish population. If anything those stances are for people already in his base like Evangelicals and fascists. And his assumptions are just further telling on his racism if it wasn't made abundantly clear by the rest of the post or his previous actions.
Oh yeah, that's how you win hearts and minds, Trump. Criticize the decision making ability of AN ENTIRE RELIGION. ON THEIR HIGH HOLIDAY.
It's called a dogwhistle
And also he's testing the antisemitism waters becuase he wants nothing more in life that to be "treated like hitler". He isn't smart enough to figure out a NEW way to rally morons together, so he's doing someone else's way.
Trump is a follower of the teachings of Adolf Hitler.
Which is saying something because he doesn't seem to care about much else or know how to learn anything
Just ask his supporters how they feel about Jews, and judge him on it.
As a Jew, I already know his supporters' views on Jews. It varies from "they need to convert to Christianity so that Jesus can return" to "they're secretly running the world and need to be killed." (The latter are quite overt when they fly the Nazi flag around, but will sometimes talk in dog whistle terms and say they just want to go after "(((globalists)))".)
Next up ask them if they can point out the differences between Christianity and Judaism even, or the similarities lmao not to mention scripture
Oh, wow...
"Hey jews, you owe me! Try not to destroy America okay?"
So, the people who kept defending his "very fine people" comment: You knew better then, and you had to know he was gonna do this sooner or later.
Sooner or later, lol... this isn't even as egregious as the last time he did it:
No President has done more for Israel than I have. Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S. Those living in Israel, though, are a different story - Highest approval rating in the World, could easily be P.M.! U.S. Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel - Before it is too late!

I look forward to the day this twat doesn't show up on my feed. Also, is it just me or does it look like he's had plastic surgery and looks like an orange Garry Shandling with hair plugs?
Trump consulted his buddy Nick Fuentes before he posted, I see.
Nah he only blamed non zionists. Pretty sure fuentes wouldn't even care to make the distinction.
When your dogwhistle is a rabid, barking dog.
What a fucking piece of shit…
It's all about liberal Jews and their damn jewish space lasers destroying the US of A.
Seems that Neaterdal MTG was right and Trump takes notes. /sMore projection from the orange anus.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump decided to take time during Rosh Hashanah — the start of the Jewish High Holy days and the celebration of the New Year — to blame “liberal Jews” for voting to destroy America and Israel.
