Trump warns American Jews to appreciate him more

He believes the Millenia-old trope that Jewish people cannot be loyal citizens of any secular country.

Too late to escape what he threatens/promises to make a “Christian nation”. As with the evangelical Xtianists he praises, he’d prefer it if all Jews in the U.S. permanently left for Israel now.

A trope he no doubt picked up as a child from his dad, who hung out with the local KKK chapter.

It’s an antisemitic accusation dating back to the middle ages, if not even earlier - that Jews’ primary loyalties are with other Jews (and more recently, to Israel) over than the rulers of the country they live in. Over centuries, “Dual loyalty” and other slanders like the Jewish blood libel fueled pogroms, mass-expulsions, and the Holocaust.

So yes, he’s being antisemitic as fuck.

wonderful Evangelicals”???

Ain’t nothing wonderful about them. They want the world to come to an end so they can go to paradise and everyone they hate can suffer for eternity.

And anyway, since when do non-Jews have any right to tell Jews what they should or shouldn’t do?

Almost the only drive-by Trump demo – big pick-up trucks, lots of flags – that I saw in New York City during the run-up to the election was apparently spearheaded by Jews for Trump, a group that I believe is based in New Jersey. The rather small convoy charged in through the Holland Tunnel, did a quick thunder run up the FDR Drive, and then disappeared the way they had come. I remember seeing one of my Jewish neighbors welcome them to our part of town with the traditional raised middle finger, which suggested that – as the former president has himself lamented – there’s a certain lack of enthusiasm for Your Favorite President on the part of some of the Chosen People.

Presumably Jews for Trump represent how Trump believes that American Jews should feel, while my (mostly) left-leaning neighbors are the ingrates who cause him such pain by refusing to recognize everything he’s done for them.

This is what Evangelicals tell him, so probably so. For a huge swatch of Evangelicals, American Jews are simply Israelis who haven’t gone back yet. Once they do, the prophecy will be fulfilled and the end time can commence.

I am interested in hearing what his “or what” is. I am guessing something “final solution-y”, he just doesn’t want to say so - yet.

At a fundamental level, he believes that by and large individuals do not have agency and should follow their leaders. Since he believes that the “leaders” of the Jews are in Israel, he thinks that American Jews should do what the Israelis want them to. He really can’t handle complicated groups of people, so reduces everything down to personal relations between him and individual leaders. Americans should be loyal to him, and Jews should do Netanyahu’s bidding. It’s like his comment about “They’re not sending their best.” South American countries aren’t “sending” migrants to the US. Individuals are trying to escape endemic poverty, repression, and violence in their homeland. They’re hardly being “sent” by their governments. But he can’t conceptually handle anything more complicated than one on one negotiations. In his mind, little people are capable of little more than obeying. If they make their own decisions, than they are disloyal.

American white supremacists also see Israel as the model ethnostate that shows that in the modern world the US can be a white ethnostate by using them as the cultural model.

He will “let us know in the days to come”. Then we will hear nothing. Just like every other plan he said he would reveal “soon”.

What’s new is the “Before it is too late” threat. Seems like a fairly explicit “better identify yourself as a kapo before we round you up” message.

When those of a certain political bent keep coming up with lists of “people to get rid of” and inevitably put you somewhere on the list, one tends to be… skeptical of that kind of politics. Especially when they start saying, more explicitly, “better support us or you’re getting on the list.”

Given the nature of other “X for Trump” groups, the odds are good that a number of them are actually Christian evangelicals…

Trump thinks that word has to do with golf.

Ignore creeping Fascism and you end up with Fascism.

And just to repeat the point that has been made before: Trump’s support of Israel is supporting Christian Evangelicals, is not supporting Jews or Judaism, and is a sign of his antisemitism.

Trump isn’t “supporting Israel”, he’s supporting the Christian Evangelical theory that there must be a Jewish Nation with its capital in Jerusalem before the Second Coming can happen and all Jews are given the choice of converting to Christianity or dying and spending eternity in hell.

Trump’s and the Evangelicals’ “support” of Israel is precisely because they want Judaism to be annihilated, one way or another.

Lord Dampnut is also no doubt jealous of KW’s rumored purchase of Parler, while his own propaganda network is going down in flames.

Bullshit. As per usual.

Translation: “GTFO of the U.S. & move to Israel, while you still can!”

Lord Dampnut knows he has relatively little support amongst American Jews, and will have no qualms about letting the christofascists take care of those he deems disloyal… if/when he regains power. His worshippers have been laying the groundwork to do just that & Lord Dampnut v2.0 will be far worse than the first time around.

Indict. Prosecute. Convict. Execute.
