Not surprisingly, the remarks by the self-described “King of Israel” were swiftly condemned by Jewish organizations. So I don’t have to spend a lot of time on that.” And you’re going to be my biggest supporters because you’re going to be out of business in about 15 minutes if they get it. Some of you I don’t like at all, actually. Yeah, let’s take 100% of your wealth away!” (It feels beside the point that neither Elizabeth Warren nor any other Democratic candidate has proposed a 100% wealth tax.) He continued: “Some of you don’t like me. You’re not gonna vote for the wealth tax. You’re not gonna vote for Pocahontas, I can tell you that. “But you have to vote for me-you have no choice. You’re brutal killers, not nice people at all,” he said. He started off by once again invoking the age-old cliché about “ dual loyalty,” saying there are Jews who “don’t love Israel enough.” After that warm-up he dove right into the stereotype about Jews and money, telling the group: “A lot of you are in the real estate business, because I know you very well.

And if you thought the coming holiday season would inspire the president to pump the brakes on blatant anti-Semitism, boy, do we have a surprise for you! Prior to being elected, Trump seemed to suggest to a room full of Jews that they buy off politicians tweeted an image of Hillary Clinton’s face atop a pile of cash next to the Star of David and the phrase, “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!” and released an ad featuring the faces of powerful Jewish people with a voiceover about them being part of a “global power structure” that has “robbed our working class” and “stripped our country of its wealth.” After moving into the White House, and just a few short months following his assertion that he is the least anti-Semitic person to walk the earth, Trump refused to condemn neo-Nazis and, just last August, accused American Jews of being “disloyal” to Israel by voting for Democrats. Back in February 2017, Donald Trump was asked what the government planned to do about an uptick in anti-Semitism, to which he characteristically responded, “I am the least anti-Semitic person that you’ve ever seen in your entire life.” That statement, like the ones he’s previously made about being “the least racist person there is anywhere in the world,” was, and is, obviously not true at all.
