.MaddowBlog: The latest example of former President Trump's anti-Semitism is indefensible, but it's not surprising.
, he didn't necessarily understand his own policies. Trump nevertheless seemed to assume that he was currying favor with Jewish voters, who'd help with his re-election campaign.
Predictably, Trump responded with bitterness and resentment, and started lashing out at those who dared to disappoint him. Over the summer, for example,,"Jewish people who live in the United States don't love Israel enough." The former president's proof, of course, was that Jews didn't vote for him in large enough numbers.
Trump told Barak Ravid,"There's people in this country that are Jewish no longer love Israel.... I'll tell you, the evangelical Christians love Israel more than the Jews in this country.""It used to be that Israel had absolute power over Congress, and today I think it's the exact opposite.... And I think [former President Barack] Obama and Biden did that," he added. "And yet in the election, they still get a lot of votes from the Jewish people.
So to recap, according to Trump, Jews run the nation's largest newspaper, and Israel used to have control over Congress, but now, thanks to Democrats, Jewish voters are hostile toward Israel — unlike him and his evangelical allies.soon after,"This is overtly anti-Semitic and it's disgusting. Every American Jew of every political affiliation must denounce this."
