President Trump on Wednesday shared a quote attributed to a right-wing radio host who said Jews in Israel view the president as "the second coming of God."
Trump tweeted out a quote from Wayne Allyn Root, who has spread conspiracy theories about the Las Vegas shooting and birtherism, one day after the president said Jewish people who vote for Democrats are either ignorant or show "great disloyalty."
"President Trump is the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world, not just America, he is the best President for Israel in the history of the world ... and the Jewish people in Israel love him like he's the King of Israel," Trump tweeted, quoting Root.
"They love him like he is the second coming of God ... But American Jews don't know him or like him. They don't even know what they're doing or saying anymore. It makes no sense!" Trump added, still quoting Root.
Trump thanked Root "for the very nice words," though the Jewish faith does not believe in a second coming of God.
The quote echoed the president's own sentiment from a day earlier that American Jews were somehow making a mistake by not supporting Trump.

(4,066 posts)I have no doubt that there is a segment that loves Trump. Just as I am also sure there is a segment that doesn't.
I hardly think it's ALL one way or the other.

(2,227 posts)(except maybe the "jews for christ" believing that (alleged) "one-time-thing" with the virgin... was the first time.) Talk about using "pretzel logic" to justfy absolute nonsense...
Of course the REAL question is how many times can I use parentheses, quote marks and ellipses in a single reply?
