Trump Preemptively Blames Jews If He Loses

Former President Donald Trump said if he loses the election in November, Jewish voters "would really have a lot to do with that." The stunning comments came in front of the conservative Israeli-American Council in Washington, D.C. on Thursday night. In his remarks, Trump lamented the fact that most Jewish voters do not support him, despite his record of vehemently supporting Israel. Trump has repeatedly wondered aloud why his stance on Israel has not persuaded more Jews to vote for him.

The former president took matters a step further on Thursday by saying Jews could help torpedo his campaign because only 40% of that bloc supports him. (Trump overstated the number, as just 25% of Jewish voters say they plan to vote for him.)

Putin's demented bitch needs his black nazi to straighten the Jews out.

... Former President Donald Trump said if he loses the election in November, Jewish voters "would really have a lot to do with that." ...

OK, there are at least two levels of discussion here.

1) fmr Pres trump continuing to blame others for his own shortcomings. In this thread, he seems to be blaming Jewish people if he loses the election, totally ignoring his policies that the Country seems to have issues with.

2) seeming to ignore the baseless anti-Jewish propaganda he seems to be offering.

Of course, naturally, in the end, blame ... the Jews.
How original.
"They" were also to blame for ...
Ach, aber you know the rest, nicht wahr, mein Fuhrer?

It's Trump's variant on the stabbed-in-the-back trope that served the Nazis well in prewar Germany.

Dotard Preemptively Blames Jews If He Loses

Blaming Jews is actually really convenient for pretty much every situation. Saves a lot of time and effort in the thought process.

I heard an audio clip of part of his speech. Slurring his words noticeably. It barely sounded like him.

This will definitely win him some votes with the jews. They love it when fascist wanna-be dictators blame them for things. Nothing has ever went poorly for the jews after that has happened.

Jews are voting for the "enemy" and because of that will soon cease to exist. -Trumpy

Democrats, you better tone it down! -also Trumpy.

He also seems to presume all "Jews" blindly support Israel's part in all this. Perhaps he assumes they all think alike.

That's why they make the best lawyers... right?... also orthodontists... plastic surgeons... you know... things you need to survive these days... I mean ... who doesn't like a spa day with one of your lawyers?... do a facelift... while you're at it get a root canal? By the time your lawyer gets done with them... you won't have to pay for either one... Who needs "Obamacare" when you got these guys... what have you got to lose? These aren't black jobs they're taking.. did you hear about the fine people in Charlotteville? The audience went wild.

Every time Trump says crap like this he lowers his support among Jewish people. Which he then blames on them. The buck stops nowhere near this guy.

First he had dinner with a white male Nazi.
Then he started "palling" around with a white female Nazi.
Now his governor candidate admitted to being a black male Nazi.

Why do Jewish people not support Trump?

As I've written before, American Jews need to wake up. All the racism now about Muslims, Arabs, dark-skinned folk from all over will not stop there, in the second coming of the Dotard. Persecution of Jewish folks will not be far behind...

What? No right winger comments? Again? I guess if it is not the Nooner they are scared to post here.

Trump makes calls of alarm easy to grasp when he insists on using language that mimics the rants of Hitler and his pack of baying Nazis. I think you'll find most Jews pick up on that language - they've been primed (with good reason) to be vigilant about this kind of garbage.

From "Donald "America's Hitler" Trump Gives Supporters the Green Light to Blame Jews If He Loses in November"
(www.vanityfair.com):

Once upon a time, before he became Donald Trump's running mate, JD Vance told his law school roommate he went "back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical ------- ... or that he's America's Hitler." Obviously, the Ohio senator has since disavowed every negative thing he previously said about Trump. But he clearly shouldn't have, particularly when it comes to the Hitler vibes, given all the wildly antisemitic remarks Trump has made on the campaign trail"including the comment he made last night re: whose fault it will be if he loses in November. Spoiler alert: It's the Jews!

Trump loves Netanyahu. Two Peas in a pod.

Trump only "Loves" Israel because they are the closest Thing to Actual Nazis around today.

Most American Jews are too liberal for Trump. Most Israeli Jews love him and want him re elected.

All Jews are not the same. They are not in any way a monolithic group. They are of vastly differing opinions about everything, like Anyone else.

Trump is SIMPLE. STUPID IF YOU PREFER.

His brain is Mush. My 94 year old father is far sharper and more capable than Trump is. Or Biden actually.

Trump needs to lose decisively and just become a private citizen...or Inmate.

Beeeach puleeeze Everyone hates the Jews now because they *dared to strike back at the slimy terrorists that attacked them.

I kinda think the bottom line is simply if Jewish people don't care about Israel then vote for Kamala! You know the one, and perpetual fool that does nothing, says nothing and has no clue about anything based on her own political history and her clueless cronies.

Even her own staff had no time for her. Trump has had a long life of working hard, making money and succeeding. Not perfect but he knows how to accomplish. Now Harris has had a life of ZERO. She can't even coherently tell America what she wants to do if elected and how she will do it.

If the Jews are that stupid to vote for her I'm disappointed.

Republicans squirm at Trump's rhetoric about Jews
www.axios.com

... Former President Trump's latest inflammatory remarks about Jewish voters have Republicans in Congress again trying to perform a careful balancing act.

Why it matters: It is a dynamic with which GOP lawmakers will have to familiarize themselves if Trump is elected president in November.

Driving the news: Trump said Thursday during an Israeli American Council event on combatting antisemitism, "If I don't win this election -- and Jewish people would have a lot to do with that, 60% are voting for the enemy -- Israel will cease to exist in two years."

- - - He also said that any Jewish voter who supports Vice President Harris "should have their head examined."

- - - It's the latest in a series of critical remarks the former president has made towards Jewish voters who support Democrats.

What they're saying: A handful of Republicans, asked about Trump's comments, offered what amounted to light pushback against their party's nominee. ...

Shameful.

Doesn't Trump realize how foolish this claim is? After all, Jewish individuals make-up approximately 2% of the American population. Even if every Jewish person who was eligible to vote, voted for Kamala, it's highly unlikely that they could effect the outcome of the election. If Trump loses, it'll be because larger groups of voters failed to support him, like suburban women or college-educated males.

@#23 ... Doesn't Trump realize how foolish this claim is? ...

Your comment seems to presume that fmr Pres Trump is aware of what he says.


I remain to be convinced that is a valid presumption.
