It matters incredibly much how much Trump sucks up to them. Please realize he was not sucking israel off to compete for over the vote of 1-2% of the U.S. population. You browse here, you know there are other reasons to suck up to them.
Btw he got around 25% of this 1-2% population's vote TWO previous times already and knew quite well that would reflect the number of votes he'd get from them in 2024. In the end he got less than 1.5 million jewish votes which is a fraction of the range by which he won the popular vote. He could have won with 0% of them.
But could he have won without israel? It's worth noting that Trump himself didn't want to find the answer to that question.
Oh, I know as a voting demographic they're not relevant, it's the disproportionate institutional power they wield that's important. But that 80/20 split in their voting patterns is indicative in how they leverage their institutional power. They play both sides absolutley, ensuring that no matter who wins, they win. But this goes to show that they're actively working against the MAGA agenda.
It's more like: you have a population of urban jews that have always been democrats. All their demographic stuff says they're democrats and then you also have rabbis telling them about asylum
The remaining 20% of the 1% is enough to be the major funders of the party.
