Trump shames Jews during Rosh Hashanah for refusing to vote for him

[LetMyPeopleVote]

As a liberal Jew who voted against TFG twice, I am amused that TFG thinks that Jews owe TFG anything much less their support/vote.

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, began at sundown on Friday and Donald Trump posted his own message with a veiled threat to so-called "liberal Jews."

"Just a quick reminder for liberal Jews who voted to destroy America & Israel because you believed false narratives! Let's hope you learned from your mistake & make better choices moving forward! Happy New Year!" the meme says.

It goes on to list the "things Trump did" for Jews while he was in office. It claims among other things, that Trump "signed an executive order for Judaism to be a nationality in addition to a religion so it would fall under the category Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That act prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin in programs receiving federal financial assistance.".....

Trump has always struggled to garner the Jewish vote. In 2016 he earned 24 percent of the Jewish vote, according to the far-right Republican Jewish Coalition's own poll. But in 2020, he managed to get 30.5 percent. It was also what Mitt Romney was able to get in 2012. In the Pew Research Service's calculations of voters by faith, Jews supported Clinton to the tune of 71 percent.

In an exit poll of 800 people released by J Street, revealed Jews supported Biden at 77 percent vs. 21 percent for Trump. The Republican group, however, claimed their poll of 600 voters showed Jews supported Biden 60.6 percent vs. Trump at 30.5..

4. This is nothing more than a veiled threat.

In an environment of growing anti-Semitism, this will not help, and, could, lead to more anti-Semitic acts.

In recent years, Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed a degree of disdain for Jewish voters in the United States. As the former president sees it, he took steps he considered pro-Israel, with the expectation that he’d receive an electoral reward, and when Jewish voters largely stuck with Democrats anyway, Trump deemed them ungrateful.

This attitude continues to produce ugly results. NBC News reported:

Former President Donald Trump on Sunday night shared a post on his Truth Social platform that accused “liberal Jews” of voting to “destroy” America and Israel. “Just a quick reminder for liberal Jews who voted to destroy America & Israel because you believed in false narratives!” said the post, which came on the weekend of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. “Let’s hope you learned from your mistake & make better choices moving forward!”

......After his defeat, Trump kept this going, whining that Jewish voters “don’t love Israel enough,” dining with prominent antisemites at Mar-a-Lago, and arguing that Jews need to “get their act together” and “appreciate” Israel “before it is too late.”

Late last year, the former president declared that Jewish leaders “should be ashamed of themselves” over their “lack of loyalty.” Around the same time, he added to the list, using related rhetoric about Jews with a documentary filmmaker.

Or put another way, Trump’s latest example of antisemitism was offensive, but it was not surprising.
