    Slightly asinine question: is he President-Elect or President-Re-Elect?

    it is a legit question. There is a halakha that a man should not marry during chol hamoed, as not to mix two simchos, but is allowed to re-marry a wife he had previously divorced.

    Tosfos explain: only “isha hadasha” is a real simcha …

    So, a President re-elect will not have same celebration as the new one …

    Also, note that Pres Putin was able to interpret “not more than two presidency” into “no more than two consecutive terms”.
    So, why would not T-appointed supreme court interpret constitution the same way and let T run again?

    Emeritus President and President Re-elect.
    Or algebraically; President (Emeritus and Re-elect)

    OpenLabs, a Democratic data firm, produced a “first look” analysis of the results and found that counties with bigger shares of Jewish voters swung at a greater rate toward Trump.

    It’s President elect because he currently is not the president

    Rabbi fingerer said last week that the gematria of Donald Trump is משיח בן דוד and just like כורש who was also called משיח can bring the גאולה

    Just quoting, don’t shot the messenger 😀

    I’m happy he won in the sense that he was better than the alternative which was seemingly very scary. But I can’t in good conscious celebrate his victory knowing the kind of financial and assault crimes that he has allegedly committed (and some even convicted of!) He has possibly done some very very bad things and it makes me sad that in order to ensure that our interests our met, we have to prop up and praise and elect this kind of person. This seems like borderline chanifa.

    Jonathan Pollard said this on 2024 March 19:

    “The Biden Administration IS an enemy
    of the Jewish people and State of Israel.”

    SOURCE: Youtube video titled: “Jonathan Pollard:
    The New American Pier and Rescuing Gazan Refugees” by Machon Shilo

    PS: The Biden Administration includes Kamala Harris,
    who publicly claimed to participate in every important
    decision that was made by the Biden Administration.

    Last but not least, Kamala Harris is infamous as the
    most anti-Israel member of the Biden Administration.

    That message is back from 2016 when donald Trump was going against Hillary Clinton

    THE MESSAGE DIRECTLY FROM HASHEM
    In the year of 2016 when the American presidential elections were against Donald Trump versus Hillary Clinton Hashem sent a message that The gematriya of “Donald Trump” is “Moshiach ben David”!
    דונלד טראמפ = 424 = משיח בן דוד
    דונלד=94
    טראמפ= 330
    =424
    משיח=358
    בן=52
    דוד=14
    =424
    Unbelievable! And shocking

    It only gets more shocking.
    In 2024 when Donald Trump won the presidential election against Kamala Harris
    His name in Hebrew With Nasi (leader) comes to the same Gematria amount as the year of winning this election of תשפ”ה The year of 5785 in the Jewish calendar.
    דונלד טראמפ = 424
    דונלד=94
    טראמפ= 330
    נשיא=361
    and comes to the same total of 785 as the Hebrew year he was reelected president of his new term for the second time.
    Unbelievable! And shocking. How does that grab you? How does that shock you? Do you think it was just a coincidence?

    DO YOU think you can find any of these shocking messages in any Sefer in the entire world? Do you think I heard it in a shiur or shmuz from a gadol hador speaking? Neither is it from me a Internet businessman writer. But it’s actually DIRECTLY FROM HASHEM.

    I dont know according to the Rambam if a goy can be Moshiach. He has to follow the Torah to bring the Jews back to it.

    Reb Eliezer,

    So you’re 4 off

    And to your point of “I dont know according to the Rambam if a goy can be Moshiach. He has to follow the Torah to bring the Jews back to it.”

    I already quoted him as saying כורש was also called משיח

    #2335589

    Obviously there are people who view Trump in a culty way (Qanon et al.), then those who also do but cloak it in irony (trust the plan! The god emperor is never wrong!), then those that actually might just be being ironic or joking.

    Sam Klein’s drasha has way to much put into it to be joking. I genuinely wonder how many otherwise frum yidden have fallen for religious Trumpism, and at what point do we have to deal with this issue in a purely apolitical, halachic sense? Are we just going to leave it alone forever and there will be Trump-meshichists just like there are Chabad meshichists?

    here are thoughts about T’s influence on wars against Israel from a lefty “newspaper”:
    Iran’s swing from tough talk to a more conciliatory tone in just a few weeks’ time has its roots in developments at home and abroad.
    Five Iranian officials, one of them a Revolutionary Guards member, and two former officials said the decision to recalibrate was prompted by Mr. Trump winning the Nov. 5 election, with concerns about an unpredictable leader who, in his first term, pursued a policy of “maximum pressure” on Iran.
    But it was also driven by Israel’s decimation in Lebanon of Hezbollah — the closest and most important of Iran’s militant allies — and by economic crises at home, where the currency has dropped steadily against the dollar and an energy shortage looms as winter approaches. …

    [current Iranian officials] said Iran suspended plans to strike Israel following Mr. Trump’s election because it did not want to exacerbate tensions with the incoming administration, which was already lining up cabinet nominees who were hostile to Iran and staunch supporters of Israel. Mr. Trump’s stated plans to end the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, however, appealed to Iran, the officials said.

    “I already quoted him as saying כורש was also called משיח”

    Sam Klein literally used the phrase “Moshiach ben David.” Don’t play stupid. You know he didn’t mean it the way it refers to Cyrus. This stuff should bother all frum yidden regardless of their political affiliation.

    Take a step back and think about it: you are vocally more bothered by Lubavitchers talking this way about the Rebbe than you are about people talking about a goyish politician. It’s fine to be bothered by both, but rethink your priorities.

    Neville,

    I’ve long dismissed Sam as talking nonsense so I don’t pay attention to his posts

    I’m sorry I thought you were talking about my post not Sam’s

    Coffee: My apologies. Genuine misunderstanding.

    #2336930

    So, President Biden pardoned three turkeys, including his son. I think this settles an issue of credibility and all complains by his supporters of credibility of others,= – as he repeatedly said that he will not do this. There seemingly were no changes in circumstances for hatoras nedorim and did not gbother to appeal to beis din anyway . The only l’tzad zhus explanation I have is that the President does not recall saying that he will not pardon his son, or that he is not his son …

    I’m surprised because it seemed like inside he was happy Trump won, my assumption (I know it’s an assumption) was that trump was going to pardon him and Biden knew it and that’s why he was happy

    #2337446

    I think he was happy because people who humiliated him by forcing him to step down lost. He feels more affinity to T – especially now when he also complains about judicial prosecution.

    #2337465

    AAQ: The guy is in his lame-duck period, for sure done with his professional career, his life probably only has a few years left, did you really think he was going to care about what people think enough let his own son suffer (whether he deserved it or not)?

    There’s plenty to criticize about Biden, but I don’t think this is it. I think pretty much every father who hasn’t disowned his son would have done the same thing given the opportunity. I don’t know, maybe I’m just unprincipled, but I just can’t really imagine the feeling of being near my own death, nothing I do really matters, and having this magic wand to whisk away my sons problems that expires in 2 months and not using it.

    #2337494

    I would not criticize him for pardoning his son (aside: same as I would not criticize for poor Mexicans coming to babysit lakewood kinderlach), but I would criticize him for having hutzpah to declare multiple times that he is not going to do that and the, doubling down in a statement saying that “he is keeping his word”. Maybe you can say that he sincerely believed that he is not going to pardon him, and then changed his mind when confronted with reality – and irate wife and son (reports are that everything was decided by family and defense lawyers, no staffers were aware). Maybe, even Hunter hinted that he could rat out the Family in exchange for the pardon from the next President on Jan 21?!

    Several nekudos on this story:
    1) Hunter will not be able to take the 5th and will have to answer questions if called by Congress
    2) I wonder if there are state taxes he did not pay? Foreign problems? Would Ukraine be interested in prosecuting Burisma corruption in exchange for some F-16s or even 35s?
    3) pardon extended back to Jan 1, 2014. Could it be that he was planning corrupt actions right after the election between Nov and Jan 2014?
    4) there are other family members – big guy’s brother and his wife

    Just wondering,

    Hunter has been found guilty but hasn’t been sentenced

    Joe pardoned him

    Trump has been found guilty but hasn’t been sentenced

    Why can’t he pardon himself?

    And if he can, why did merchaun and Bragg delay sentencing?
