Trump Goes Off in Speech to Israeli American Council: There Are American Jews Who ‘Don’t Love Israel Enough’

(Trump speaking to a Jewish group) There was another portion of the speech where Trump attacked possible 2020 rival Elizabeth Warren by telling the crowd “you’re not nice people at all, but you have to vote for me. You have no choice. You’re not going to vote for Pocahontas, I can tell you that. You’re not going to vote for the wealth tax!”

As President Donald Trump spoke before the Israeli American Council on Saturday, there was a moment when he criticized American Jews for not being more supportive to the state of Israel.

Trump went through many of the usual hits during his speech in Florida, saying if his adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner can’t bring about peace in the Middle East, “it can’t be done.” At one point, he started talking about Jews who, he says, “don’t love Israel enough.

“We have to get the people of our country, of this country, to love Israel more, I have to tell you that. We have to do it. We have to get them to love Israel more. Because you have people that are Jewish people that are great people, they don’t love Israel enough.”

There was another portion of the speech where Trump attacked possible 2020 rival Elizabeth Warren by telling the crowd “you’re not nice people at all, but you have to vote for me. You have no choice. You’re not going to vote for Pocahontas, I can tell you that. You’re not going to vote for the wealth tax!”

Mr Trump referred to members of the Israeli American Council as “brutal killers” and “not nice people” but claimed they would vote for him to avoid a wealth tax, as proposed by Democratic challengers Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren .
“A lot of you are in the real estate business because I know you very well, you’re brutal killers. You’re not nice people at all, but you have to vote for me. You have no choice,” the president said.

“You’re not going to vote for Pocahontas [a racist slur Mr Trump uses against Ms Warren], I can tell you that. You’re not going to vote for the wealth tax!”

He continued by repeating a false claim to the crowd that supporters of the tax want to take “100 per cent of your wealth away”.

“Even if you don’t like me – some of you don’t [and] some of you I don’t like at all actually – you’re going to be my biggest supporters because you’ll be out of business in about 15 minutes if they [the Democrats] get in,” he added.

Mr Trump’s stereotyping of members of a Jewish organisation as being politically motivated by money was condemned as antisemitic.

“It’s not even coded antisemitism. It’s not a dog-whistle. He’s saying this. Out loud. To a room full of Jews,” Danya Ruttenberg, an American rabbi and author, wrote on Twitter .

Earlier in the speech, Mr Trump also questioned the loyalty of American Jews to Israel.

Is Putin putting 'the screws' to Trump?

Trump is not anti-sematic---rather he is profoundly ignorant of anything that concerns morality. He is a totally immoral man.

Don't the biggest supporters of Israel on this forum care that Trump ranted about how much Jews love money? Guess not, because evidently they are Trump supporters too.

"Soifer said Jewish support for the GOP has been slashed in half since Trump took office, from 33 percent in 2014 to 17 percent in 2018, and she added that the decrease was because "Trump's policies and rhetoric are completely antithetical to Jewish values."
"An overwhelming majority of Jews are both pro-Israel and anti-Trump because of his incendiary rhetoric targeting our community and others, and because his symbolic gestures on Israel have not made America or Israel more secure," she said.

This is not the first time American Jewish groups have called out Trump for invoking anti-Semitic tropes to suggest that Jewish Americans have a loyalty to Israel above the U.S."

you’re not nice people at all, but you have to vote for me.

If any one person in that crowd after hearing that votes for him, shame on them.
