Trump broadcasts anti-Semitic tropes about Jewish wealth and hard business sense

[Joe Republic]

In a 1991 book, John O'Donnell, the former president of the Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino, said Trump had told him: "Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day." He later called O'Donnell a "loser" in an interview with Playboy, but allowed that, "The stuff O'Donnell wrote about me is probably true."

Recognizing/celebrating the fact that another ethnic group is successful is racist?

Like how blacks are all athletic and Asians all good at math?

What am I saying? This is all going right over your white hooded head.

Only the ones who go to conferences of organizations founded by businessmen who meet at ritzy hotels in Florida.

I mean it ain't like he was speaking to Chabad-lubavitch in Brooklyn.

Trump also said that “you aren’t nice people”, but I’m 100% sure he’s making personal judgments about individual donors in the room and not riffing off his other statements about Jews being mean business bastards.

...since he says he likes his money to be counted by people wearing yarmulkes, he wouldn’t have to change his speech at all for that audience.

If not Trump but someone sort of liberal said what he did at the conference, would it be considered anti-semitic, or not?

Obviously.  Just look at Parrotguy or my posting history regarding folks like Ilhan Omar

I think Omar said one or two things that were legitimately anti-Semitic, but then Republicans tried to capitalize on it and then Omar started being criticized for things that were supposedly anti-Semitic that really weren't.

In any case it's hard to imagine Omar being a keynote speaker at an Israeli-American Council event.

Only if she were president, and even then only grudgingly, and justifiably so.

As for Trump, I guess this is a perfect example of someone being a hawk on Middle Eastern Affairs and Israel, while also being personally an anti-semitic yutz.

A day later Nazi Germany, I mean, America, decides Judaism is a nationality.

Let’s not start Goodwining, although that EO is certainly one of his most anti-Semitic acts since becoming President.

Sure, but you seemed to be implying the folks upset about what Trump said wouldn’t consider it anti-Semitic if a liberal had said it under identical circumstances.  My point is that some of us have been repeatedly calling out the anti-Semitic left for a while, so it’s not like Trump is being held to some sort of double-standard.  That said, I apologize if I misinterpreted your post.

Again, we know what he is. Sure, his antisemitism is "benevolent" right now, in that he likes us for our supposed money savvy. That only lasts until Jared and Ivanka have a bad fight or his stock portfolio takes a tumble.

This is why you don't vote for unstable populists. No, his SOP isn't "kill the Jews", but he's clearly internalized a lot of the views that lead to that.

[Xing]

Yeah, but Trump is "pro-Israel" or something like that, so he can't be antisemitic!

No apology needed but I wasn't just implying, I was genuinely asking. And I meant "somewhat liberal" to contrast not only with those broadly on the right, but also with those who are on the left wing of the Democratic party, since both camps are often suspected of anti-semitism anyway.

Yes, heavens forbid you face consequences or criticism for being a raging hypocrite with a years-long, storied history of rabidly supporting the party that created the very braying Nazi wannabe in question. Heavens forbid and woe betide, Ray.

You like to call Jewish people "termites". You certainly belong in this storied company.

Less than twenty-four hours from another vicious attack against the Jewish community, the Atlas leftbro caucus is concerned with...whether Jewish people are condemning Trump fast enough. Sounds about right.
