Trump suggests that anti-Semitic threats are coming from Jews.

Political Wire:

President Trump appeared to suggest that the wave of bomb threats against Jewish community centers across the U.S. could be coming from within the Jewish community itself, BuzzFeed reports.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who was part of a group of state attorneys general meeting with Trump, said that the commander-in-chief seemed to indicate he felt some of the threats were being made from the inside, as part of a potential effort “to make others look bad.”

Every day, every dang day, he says something that is so untrue, so unpresidential, and so completely stupid.

These threats are resulting in staff having to carry babies out of community centers, for geez sake.

How odd Trump should comment on those who try to "make others look bad", since that is a tactic he uses daily.

12. Well, he probably knows, and he is probably right. Isn't his son-in-law Jewish?

Maybe orange man hired his son-in-law to talk to some friends and so on and so forth. It's what bannon would do right? And he is really the president. You never know with the orange man.

16. I doubt he's saying they're coming from "the Jews"...

...it's probably more an assertion that these threats are being made by "the radical left" (you know, us) wanting to make conservatives look bad.
