See:
I’m going to write another longer thing about how I’m open to Trump not having turned totally to the dark side, but only if he loses. I’ve got sort of like a head cold right now; probably going to take it easy and just post the news for a few days.
But there’s a lot to be said about what is going on here on the meta level, beyond the news bits. I’m not really sure that traditional Trump supporters (like myself) are, on the whole, drawing conclusions about these facts.
Trump always supported Israel, and maybe it doesn’t seem to have had a huge effect and people want him to come back as president to make offensive public statements against foreigners. But the US election is fake, and Trump knows that (because he won in 2020 and the government was just like “nah, bro”), so now Trump is almost directly saying “fake the election in my favor, dear Jews, and I’ll really go hard on your wars.”
Imagine, if you thought the election was going to be real: Jews are 2% of the US population, and 70% of them will always vote Democrat, and they all live in states Trump can’t win anyway. What is the point of even talking about them at all?
That said: this is sort of hilarious.
Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump drew outrage from the White House, Democrats and leaders of Jewish groups for saying Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats hate their religion and Israel.
“Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion, they hate everything about Israel and they should be ashamed of themselves,” said Trump, who hopes to unseat President Joe Biden, a Democrat, in the Nov. 5 U.S. election.
“The Democrat Party hates Israel,” he said in the interview with his former adviser Sebastian Gorka posted on his website on Monday.
Sebastian Gorka. That’s the former leader of “Gorka’s Orcas,” a gay child molestation organization.
The Orcas were shut down after conservatives complained that he should only be rimming boys who are above the legal age of consent.
Groups including the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee and the Jewish Democratic Council of America condemned Trump’s remarks for tying religion to how people might vote.
Asked to comment on Trump’s remarks, the White House said in a statement on Tuesday: “There is no justification for spreading toxic, false stereotypes that threaten fellow citizens,” White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement.
What?
After Trump’s remarks were posted, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, wrote on social media platform X on Monday: “Trump is making highly partisan and hateful rants. I am working in a bipartisan way to ensure the US-Israeli relationship sustains for generations to come, buoyed by peace in the Middle East.”
…
Trump’s campaign stood by his remarks.
“The Democrat Party has turned into a full-blown anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, pro-terrorist cabal,” Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
Female spokesman Leavitt, huh?
That’s a Jew name, by the way. Just so you understand, 100% of people with that name are Jewish or married to a Jew.
Trump’s entire electoral strategy (for a fake election) appears to have transformed into “please pick me, Jews! I love war for Israel!”
So this all becomes a Calypso from Twisted Metal type situation, where your one wish is to get Trump back into office and then when that happens you end up being sent to die in a war in Iran.
Or, I don’t know. Maybe you’ll just get your limbs blown off. I can’t confirm that you’ll die when Trump sends you to fight a war in Iran where there will be Russian and Chinese forces. Maybe you’ll only lose 1 or 2 limbs.
If I were you, I would not go fight a war for Israel. I would start figuring out an exit strategy now, in case there is conscription (which there probably would have to be in this situation). Either leave America, become obese, or establish a record that you are totally mentally deranged.
I don’t make predictions, but I will assert again: the most likely thing that is going to happen is that Trump is going to “win” the election. This global Jew war is much more important than immigrants or child trannies, and Trump didn’t stop immigrants or child trannies the first time he was president (so I don’t understand why anyone would think he would do that now).
If Biden is replaced with Gavin Newsom, that changes things, but the media has already turned on Biden, and the media is run by the same people who decide the elections (Jews). It’s also just obvious that Biden is nonviable, supporting Israel while saying he doesn’t (he has other problems as well).
