What stupid shit has Trump done today?

Trump accuses Jewish Americans of ‘disloyalty’ for voting Democratic, in antisemitic trope

Gee I can't imagine why your average Jewish voter wouldn't want to vote for a candidate that retweets neo-nazis.

BTW, why are Jewish citizens expected to have dual loyalties to two countries, but if a Mexican immigrant so much as has a Mexican flag decal on their car, they're considered "disloyal"?

 

[Treacle Toes]

Wow, I just can’t even with this.

On Twitter it’s being spread around as though he’s saying Jews are disloyal to America, though I actually think he means they’re being disloyal to Israel. But either way it’s a bigoted and cretinous statement, and throwing around the expressions ‘Jews’ and ‘disloyal’ is fucking dangerous – it is a charge levelled at us throughout history.And also suggesting that Jew's 'loyalty' to Israel is or should be greater than wherever they live is not helpful, so yeah, thanks for that Donnie.

He also really seems to believe that all Jews should love him for his ‘support’ for Israel, though anyone with a brain can see it’s nothing to do with loving or supporting Jews or Israel and everything to do with pleasing Evangelical Christian backers who are waiting for Israel to convert on the Day of Fuckin’ Judgement, even if it means making everything 10 times more dangerous in the region.

I think he did both. The latter just more explicitly.


Calling Omar a “disaster” for Jews, Trump said he didn’t “buy” the tears Tlaib had shed Monday at an emotional press conference during which Tlaib talked about her decision not to travel to Israel to see her elderly grandmother, who lives in the occupied West Bank.

“Where has the Democratic party gone?” Trump asked reporters at the White House. He then went on to apparently refer to Jewish Americans’ supposed loyalties to Israel and how voting Democratic was disloyal to the country. “Where have they gone, where they’re defending these two people over the state of Israel? And I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.”

The more I think about it, the more it feels like we're living in pages from The Onion

I wish we were living in The Onion. Their world-view is fairly benign. We're living in something far darker and likely to get worse.

My hope these days is that his own voters turn on him. I'm seeing signs of it. I have a couple of friends who voted for him. They're now convinced that he's certifiably insane. Many of the farmers I know won't vote for him again. Will that be enough? I hope so, because I don't see the Democrats pulling their shit together any time soon.

Being president is so easy he has time to sort out the automobile industry too. What a guy!

Trump endorses claim Jews love him like 'King of Israel and second coming of God'

Donald Trump has promoted a claim that Jewish people in Israel love him like he is the "king" of the country and "the second coming of God".

"President Trump is the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world, not just America, he is the best President for Israel in the history of the world...and the Jewish people in Israel love him like he’s the King of Israel," tweeted Mr Trump, quoting Wayne Allyn Root, a conservative radio host known for promoting conspiracy theories.

"They love him like he is the second coming of God...But American Jews don’t know him or like him. They don’t even know what they’re doing or saying anymore. It makes no sense!"

"But that’s OK, if he keeps doing what he’s doing, he’s good for all Jews, Blacks, Gays, everyone. And importantly, he’s good for everyone in America who wants a job."

Mr Trump added his own comment at the end: "Wow!"

The answer is Whiteness, and the hierarchies involved in/created by a belief in 'White supremacy'.

It was mostly a rhetorical question, but yeah.

 

[Sprocket.]

I think it is safe to say following the cancellation of Trump’s Scandi jaunt. That there will be something a lot less rotten in the state of Denmark.

 

[binka]

But I think it was seriously meant, why else cancel the trip in what looks like a fit of petulance? Doesn't say anything about oil or minerals, just a possible airbase and 'real estate acquisitions'.

Trump cancels Denmark trip after PM says Greenland is not for sale

The below suggests that Trump was looking for any excuse to cancel - Obama will be in Denmark 2 weeks after Trump and the contrasting welcomes received wouldn't look good for Trump


Is Trump's deep fear and envy of Obama behind his plan to purchase Greenland? | Donald Trump | The Guardian

 

[a_chap]

I'm still puzzled why people appear to assume that Trump wants to buy Greenland on behalf of the United States.

He wants to buy it for himself.

just imagine the size of the crowds for the inauguration when he proclaimes himself Emperor of Greenland!

Maybe, after he purchases it for US, Trump Inc. will be the only one who can purchase it from the States.

Maybe they'll get behind their new overlord and all wear hats saying "Let's make Trump great for once"

The man is a wanker.

Thank you Jason.

That's "God Emperor of Greenland" to you. Remember he's compared himself to the second coming of Jesus Christ.

If their willing to take one for the team I'm happy for him to fuck off and stay there forever.

I call bull shit. But found it interesting.

 

[agricola]

I didn't think he would ever top the "rocket ships above Tokyo" press conference, but fair play to him he has done it there.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

I call bull shit. But found it interesting.

Its a no-brainer that Evangelicals would support the Anti-Christ. The rest of it gets a lot murkier.

If the prophecy was too specific, e.g 'his name will be Donald Trump and he will be elected in 2016' etc, well that wouldn't work.

 

[krtek a houby]

That's "God Emperor of Greenland" to you. Remember he's compared himself to the second coming of Jesus Christ.

He's not the messiah etc

 

[taffboy gwyrdd]

Trump is a rabid anti Semite.

He is rarely pulled up on it because right wingers are allowed to be, just as in this country.

Jewish victims of hate are strictly for use as tools by the establishment of / when leftists are dumb enough to lapse into tropes.

just in case people think taffboy's randomly posting Trump stands by antisemitic trope that sparked anger among Jewish Americans

I subscribe to the multiple anti-christ theory. Its a generic warning against crazy rulers.

Jesus wept...

 

[PursuedByBears]

He doesn't have a fucking clue does he?

 

[extra dry]

He thinks he is the choosen one, usually a Christ complex develops, I expect in a few weeks

 

[a_chap]

...usually a Christ complex develops, I expect in a few weeks

It's an interesting thought.

Maybe we'll look back fondly at the Trump Tweets of 2017/18/19 recalling the time before he went really batshit CRAZY.
