Israeli journalist asks Trump on Anti-Semitism. Trump responds by bragging about his EC-victory.

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/israeli-reporter-calls-out-trump-for-xenophobia-and-racist-tones-but-president-brags-he-won/

“Since your election campaign and even after your victory, we’ve seen a sharp rise in anti-semitic incidents across the United States,” the reporter noted. “And I wonder what you say to those among the Jewish community in the states and Israel and maybe around the world who believe and feel that your administration is playing with xenophobia and maybe racist tones?”

Trump responded by saying he was “honored by the victory that we had.”

“Three hundred and six electoral college votes,” Trump bragged. “We were not supposed to crack 220. You know that, right? There was no way to 221, but then they said there’s no way to 270. And there’s tremendous enthusiasm out there.”

by the fact that the asswipe is extremely ignorant about the world and his place in it. I think he has been just as ignorant his whole life but the depth of it is now on daily display for the whole world to be grossed out by this demented behavior.

Not uncommon by many people. However, given his position, it simply is another example of his personality disorder(s), narcissism.

He fucking qualifies it as "everything else going on in our country". Gee, that sounds familiar! Hate against the Jews is an afterthought to most people. Then he capped it off by spewing "some of my best friends are..." shit.
