Trump Bashes Jewish Leaders for Not Being 'Loyal' After His Dinner With Holocaust Deniers

Source: Rolling Stone

DONALD TRUMP IS leveling criticism at Jewish leaders for not expressing enough “loyalty” towards him in the wake of his dinner with two antisemitic Holocaust deniers at his Mar-a-Lago home.

“Jewish Leaders forgot that I was the best, by far, President for Israel,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday. “They should be ashamed of themselves. This lack of loyalty to their greatest friends and allies is why large numbers in Congress, and so many others, have stopped giving support to Israel.”

Trump included a link to an article by conservative commentator Wayne Root in his post. Root lauded Trump’s record on American-Israeli policy, and falsely accused former President Barack Obama of having close associations with antisemites.

This is not the first time Trump has publicly demanded loyalty and gratitude from Jewish leaders and the community. In a Dec. 2021 interview, the former president elevated antisemitic tropes accusing Jews of having a dual loyalty to Israel and the United States, suggesting they control both Washington, D.C., and the media. In October, Trump wrote on Truth Social that American Jews need to “get their act together” and become more reverent to his work on Israeli policy.

Of course, attacking Jews for this or that, especially in regard to political choices is a popular pastime.

Just who the fuck does he think he is? Loyalty? To a philanderer, a con man, a thief, a cheating golfer 😉, and blowhard who wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him in his fat ass?

It makes me wretch listening to his made up fantasy world where all on Earth need to be subservient to him. The faster he’s jailed (a chance about as big as his ass ) the better.

The country needs affirmation that no one is above the law or see us devolve to chaos in the streets.

I commend Cyrano this morning for his post about no one being above the law, followed by another post this morning that “no peon is above the law.”

JAIL HIM !!!!!!

this story was going to be a link to The Onion, or Borowitz.

Once again, fact is stranger than fiction. 😒

YES, A few will vote for the ass**le, but he just lost most of the Jewish Vote.
I would say 20 -30 percent are Republicans. Those Republicans would normally vote for Trump.............

BUT NOT ANY MORE... Trump is very stupid. He really doesn't know when ....TO SHUT THE F**K UP

It needs to be freely given, and earned by your words and deeds, and what is in your heart.

TFG fails in the words / deeds / heart department like no one else in human history.
