Every time Trump says "if I'm not elected israel will be destroyed! Kamala is not up to the task of protecting israel"(sic) I experience a little moment of internal panic. Like, bro, you are in a good position... maybe discuss ANYTHING ELSE for like 60 days. 60 days of radio silence would be better than that. Every time Trump opens his mouth to blow some more israeli cock, every American's likelihood of future prosperity dips.
These two minutes love segments may be required to convince American Jews to let him get elected. On the other hand, you may be right, who knows.
I realize this implication is baked in, but it stands to reason that appealing to jews is not about good honest competition, since jews account for about 2% of the American population and well fewer than 25% of them voted for Trump in either 2016 or 2020, which is about 1.75m votes. If even 1% of the general population is anti-semitic that is approximately 3.5m votes (but it could be 35m+ votes at 10%+ and such).
Yeah, I think it's clear that American politicians aren't appealing to Jews for the votes, they're appealing to Jews for the financial backing of their vastly outsized wealth and to appease groups like AIPAC. In the case of Trump, I think he's also saying these things for the sake of his Jewish friends and relatives. He's a guy who appears to be easily influenced by his advisors.
We all know it's naked foreign interference, but the reality is we're not yet at the point where a presidential candidate can tell the Jews to pound sand.
