http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/10/13/1582152/-At-Long-Last-Trump-Blames-The-Jews-For-His-Failed-CampaignDonald Trump lashed out at global elites who undermine American sovereignty through international banks and many observers couldnt help but notice the underlying anti-Semitic message.
* * *
Throughout the speech, Trump used harsh language that evoked old and ugly anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about international bankers who supposedly infiltrate national governments and control the global agenda. Citing recent Clinton campaign emails published by WikiLeaks, Trump told the crowd that "Clinton meets in secret with international banks in order to plot the destruction of US sovereignty." Echoing the rhetoric of Alex Jones and other conspiracy theorists, Trump repeatedly referred to "globalists" as the true enemy and Clinton as their handmaiden.
The international bankers trope is nearly as old as Anti-Semitism itself and needs little explanation. But for those who are unfamiliar, there is Wikipedia.

The meeting with Hillary and the international bankers reps occurs in the deepest part of the woods. In a witch's cottage. Which is made entirely of candy. A portrait of Vince Foster hangs over the fireplace. Ted Cruz's father is the butler.
The various clown sightings this summer and fall? Let us say that some disguises are too clever for words.
And then let us say nothing more.

(20,998 posts)For the life of me, I do not understand the support from son-in-law Jared Kushner and Sheldon Adelson, two prominent Jewish US citizens. I have been to some of the alt-right websites. I have read their hideous screeds. They hate Jews as much as they hate gays, minorities, immigrants and women. Do Kushner, Adelson and their ilk really think they are immune to the Amerikan Kristallnacht?

I thought David Duke had crawled back into some unmapped swamp, never to be heard from again, yet with Trump's candidacy, he is resurrected and holding press conferences. There's a zombie construct in there somewhere.
The white supremacists who are holding Trump high are in for a tough night on Nov. 8. It's looking like they have 2 choices. They can claim the vote was rigged and their guy was cheated of victory, or they can erupt into senseless violence and tear things up. Of the two, I'll take the first, though would prefer neither.

(4,150 posts)international Jewry itching, just itching to get their hands on the Donald's money.
And I suppose it's the Jews in journalism-- you know--the Bolshevik kind? Beards and all? Just looking to overthrow it all for the "hords"? You do know we're talking about those "Bolsheviks" who own Ganett and Fox News and Breitbart and CNN and all of those other "Communist" organizations? They are just overrun, really. . . . . Just swarming. . . with Communist, Bolshevik JEWS who want to take over!
Sounds like the Donald had best run and hide somewhere. That Tang-colored fur ball on his head is like an IDIOT beacon.

No, the world no longer loans him money since he's determined to ruin his own credit and default, just because he has more lawyers than the bank.
Well, this time, there are more of us than all of his lawyers, and we're going to do what none of the other candidates, nor the entire RNC could do:
We're going to fire his ass.

(53,956 posts)Jews are often blamed for election losses; something both sides share. Trump, however, is using classic anti-Semitic language which can give him an "out". I don't ever expect the republicans to just come out and say "Jews"; the far right, yes. The "regular" right uses this type of language, couched in innuendo.
