I could not care less if someone tells me they are Jewish but prefers to eat BLTs. But when there is a fuss made over how he is Orthodox and Ivanka converted and they go to shul every week, well I don't want to hear about how he can have special permission to fly on Shabbat.

The fact that his son-in-law was Orthodox was a big deal when tRump was trying to promote his pro-Jewish crap during his campaign. You can't have it both ways. Either you are Orthodox or not.
