BOTH SIDES OF HIS MOUTH: Trump rails against Republican Jews for their “disloyalty”
Sure, let’s have even more antisemitism floating around Florida because there just hasn’t been enough of that lately.
While Donald Trump is probably still digesting the burnt steak that he split with Kanye West and his fellow Holocaust denier, Nick Fuentes, at Mar-a-Lago just before Thanksgiving, he’s also still on his failing Truth Social app defending hosting his fellow Jew-haters with some more Jew-hate.
“But Tara,” says “MAGAJoe235870” on Twitter, “how can Trump hate Jews when his daughter converted and married one?”
That’s how, dumb bot.
Trump’s twisted and toxic relationship with his Preferred Daughter resulted in her spite-marrying the very Jewish Jared Kushner and doing the whole Charlotte on “Sex and the City” conversion thing, but probably not with that endless beatific smile on her face.
Aside from hating all minorities, Trump is a huge narcissist, which is why he’ll seemingly be praising the very people he’s scapegoating — because he is!
Wayne Allen Root, another MAGA who’s also Jewish, wrote a column defending Trump’s meeting with West and Fuentes, which I think should result in automatic ex-communication from the Tribe.
But in 2022, it gets him praise from the Orange McMenace.
Trump did his usual backhanded bullshittery in a post on un-Truth Socialism:
“Thank you Wayne – You are great but how quickly Jewish Leaders forget that I was the best, by far, President for Israel,” Trump blathered. “They should be ashamed of themselves. Their 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.”
SO NOT KOSHER, WAYNE!
“Republican Jews” make about as much sense to me as “vegan butchers,” so anyone who claims Jewish heritage — but votes Republican — must hate themselves a whole lot (*stares Jewish space lasers at Lee “Zippy” Zeldin*).

This is also super helpful. Maybe someday people will learn that Trump doesn’t listen to anyone else, but today isn’t that day.
EXCLUSIVE: Prominent Jewish and human rights leaders are circulating a letter asking Trump to distance himself from Kanye + co. A Trump advisor responds: “I’ve seen it, and I do not care."

Let’s check in with the fourteen or so people left on Twitter who aren’t MAGA bots.
And there it is. Donald Trump has now officially thrown the Republican Jews who reached out to him under the bus.
This is what was always going to happen.
First he came for the liberal Jews, but the Republican Jews didn’t say anything because they agreed. Now it’s their turn. https://t.co/SWmwqbfNN2

Not sure how anyone can be a Republican Jew anymore. They were wrong about Trump, Musk, Owens, Kanye, Ben Shapiro, and everything else. The whole country is in an antisemitic tizzy because of the right. Just admit you were wrong and switch sides. There is no shame in it.
