“Trump’s Controversial Prediction: Blames Jewish People If He Loses—You Won’t Believe What He Said!”
Former President Donald Trump said if he loses the election in November, Jewish voters “would really have a lot to do with that.”
The stunning comments came in front of the conservative Israeli-American Council in Washington, D.C. on Thursday night. In his remarks, Trump lamented the fact that most Jewish voters do not support him, despite his record of vehemently supporting Israel. Trump has repeatedly wondered aloud why his stance on Israel has not persuaded more Jews to vote for him.
The former president took matters a step further on Thursday by saying Jews could help torpedo his campaign because only 40% of that bloc supports him. (Trump overstated the number, as just 25% of Jewish voters say they plan to vote for him.)
Trump said:
But I will put it to you very simply and gently. I really haven’t been treated right. But you haven’t been treated right because you’re putting yourself in great danger. And the United States hasn’t been treated right.
So. if I don’t win this election and I’ve been very good. You know, they say, “Trump’s been right about everything.” I’ve been right about a lot of things. Even Ted will admit that. I’ve been right about a lot of things. A lot of things that a lot of people said, “No, that won’t happen.” But a lot of bad things happened and some good things I’ve been right about, too.
And I only want to be– so I’m not going to call this as a prediction, but in my opinion, the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss if I’m at 40%. If I’m at for– think of it. That means 60% are voting for Kamala, who in particular is a bad Democrat. The Democrats are bad to Israel. Very bad. They’ll never change because they have a section of their party now which has become amazingly and quickly very powerful vote-wise.
Trump went on to call Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer –the highest-ranking Jewish official in the U.S. government – “a Palestinian” as if it were an insult. Eventually, Trump ludicrously claimed that “Schumer is Hamas all the way.”
The former president has repeatedly said that Jews who vote for Democrats “should have their head examined.”
Elsewhere during his remarks on Thursday night, Trump declared, “Israel, I believe, has to defeat” Vice President Kamala Harris in November.
