LYING GONIFF: Trump addresses Orthodox Jews but conveniently leaves out his dinner with anti-Semites

If Donald Trump is breathing, he’s either lying or doing something to cover up a lie or both at the same time.

All of it has the same subtext, though: “Gimme all your money because I’m broke.”

Trump is out there literally selling the weakest grift in the history of grifting while scrambling to pay his legal fees now that the RNC is no longer footing the bills to keep him out of prison.

But some people are too smart to fall for such a blatant money grab, and Trump has to go to those people to make his case.

Donald Trump's NFTs sold out in a day, doubled in value
“Ground Control to Major Loser…”

 

And that means he’s going to lie to them extra hard to get their money.

However, if they’re all still too smart to believe his particular line of specifically-honed bullshittery, then Trump leans into the full “sin of omission” route while going overboard on the praise.

The Associated Press reports Trump did exactly that when he spoke at a conference of Orthodox Jews on Friday.

Before sundown, obvs, because Trump can’t pull off a proper Shabbas Goy since he’s selfish and doesn’t know how to do anything for other people.

This mishegoss was called the “President’s Conference of Torah Umesorah” (that’s the highest level of Torah education, which Trump couldn’t care about any less) which he hosted at his National Doral club in Miami, and I’m sure the property charges a hefty room rental fee (which Trump cares about SO MUCH).

Now, as an American Jewish person, I can tell you we happen to excel at avoidance when it comes to unpleasant topics.

We’ve also perfected the “if we whisper it maybe it won’t be real” whisper.

Example: “Did you hear about Judy? (whispers) Cancer.”

And so Trump assimilated and just didn’t address his dinner with Nazi Nick Fuentes and Kanye “I Like Hitler” West at his unsecured Florida storage facility.

Like it never happened.

He just heaped on the praise of “the Jewish people” and probably got extra money out of them like the grifting schnurrer he is.

It’s possible that some people in the room were so Orthodox, they didn’t have any modern media to inform them that Trump invited Nazis to MAGA-Lago.

Because the AP reports that “the audience interrupted his remarks with standing ovations multiple times.”

Those remarks include allegations that Congress was “almost anti-Israel” and said–without evidence because he made it up–that some Democrats in Washington “hate Israel with a passion.”

Trump also said, “I believe I’m the best ally you’ve ever had,” which should really carry as much weight as someone declaring they believe in the Tooth Fairy.

Here are Trump’s remarks.

You may want to take this Jewish mother’s advice and have some slightly flat ginger ale to sip to keep your stomach from getting too upset.

As we approach Chanukah this weekend, the greatest miracle that could happen is everyone finally seeing through the Trump Grift and facing the truth, even if they have to whisper it:

“Did you hear about Trump? Criminal.”
