If he loses in the election, he will be partially responsible for the American Jews – this is what the former president of the United States and the Republican candidate in the upcoming elections Donald Trump said.
He said these things while visiting the National Summit of the Israeli-American Council, an anti-Israel conference on Thursday.
Presidential election in the United States on November 5. Trump is spending a busy time campaigning in various places ahead of the upcoming election. However, he is in a lot of trouble as he could not facilitate the debate with the rival Democrat candidate Kamala.
The former president lamented the lack of support from Jewish voters at Thursday’s convention, saying he sees a trend among American Jews to support Harris.
At this time, Trump warned that if his opponent Kamala Harris wins, Israel will disappear from the world map in two years. And the Jews will be partly responsible for such consequences.
“If I don’t win this election, it’s really going to affect the Jewish people,” Trump said loudly. Because if 40-60 percent (of American Jews) vote for the enemy, in my opinion, Israel will cease to exist within two years.’
A recent Pew Research poll found that American-Jews have more support for Orange than for Trump. According to the survey, 65 percent of Jews supported Kamala. And only 34 percent supported Trump.
Trump lamented the fact that less than 30 percent of American-Jews voted in the previous 2016 and 2020 elections. Although he won the 2016 election, he lost to the Democrat candidate and current US President Joe Biden in 2020.
Trump made similar comments at a separate conference in Washington earlier Thursday evening. This time, the Trump campaign is prioritizing the support of Jewish voters in key competitive states.
American Jews have leaned heavily toward Democrats in federal elections for decades, and that trend continues. However, it is believed that the Jewish vote will make little difference in determining the victory in this election. For example, Pennsylvania has more than 400,000 Jews.
Biden won that state in 2020 by 81,000 votes. Earlier, Republican leader Donald Trump called Kamala Harris “anti-Semitic” for avoiding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the joint session of the US Congress last July.
In a religious meeting held in South Florida on July 26, Trump said that Kamala does not like Jews. He doesn’t like Israel. This is how it is and always will be. That will not change. Source: AFP, Reuters.
