    Is Trump less antisemitic than me, because he’s the least antisemitic person there is?

    Trump’s Jewish-friendly credentials go back many decades, long before he ever ran for office or had a vested interest in proving himself to the public. They are far more extensive than any recent president.

    As far as the OP, he used that merely as a figure of speech.

    It is a very childish figure of speech, and believe me, no one knows more about childishness than I do.

    Joseph: ask Turx if he felt he was being respected by Trump.

    #1224602

    Mammale Turx actually said he wasn’t disrespected by Trump and went on to say almost everything Joseph wrote in that post.

    I think the most significant problem with what he did was undermine the work the Jewish community is already doing on the issue. The proper people to take action are the askanim in our community who work day in and day out to ensure our safety and wellbeing. By asking an out of place, poorly phrased, insulting question, Turx made it much more difficult for those who can actually have an impact to take action.

    Ha! Really? How did he ask an insulting question? From the transcript, all he did was ask Trump about how he would be handling the increase in antisemitic threats that have gone up since he took office.

    Why not ask? Trump has a plan for everything right? He’s going to fix the murder rate. Illegal immigration. Economy. Whatever.

    So how is he going to fix this?

    AND surprise… Trump didn’t listen to the question. He got defensive and made a big scene. Totally off topic.

    Of course now he gets Jews to blame Turx. Really? Do you think that if another Jew asked the question more eloquently Trump would get the point?

    His behavior is abusive and he is a bully —-AKA Irrational.

    Leave the reporter alone. Don’t let Trump win here by getting Jews to blame the guy who only spoke some truth.

    It was not out of place nor insulting (it was however poorly worded)

    the press conference covered many topics Trump with his rambling nonsensical responses (more than usual) expanded it to cover many more (including his electoral victory, war with russia, nuclear holocaust)

    Trump asked for an esy question and he got one:

    what do you think of the rise of antisemitism?

    I oppose it. there easy done

    but of course Trump cant handle that.

    You’re right. He couldn’t handle it.

    But I’d rather have a president that can’t handle this, but is able to handle the terrorist threats.

    The frightening thing is that he already handled dealing with terrorism by saying that if anything happens chas v’shalom then it will be the judges faults.

    Seriously he set himself up for not taking any credit if something happens and surely he will find a way to shrug off responsibility even if the source of terror isn’t someone from the outside.

    You’re giving him a lot of credit Health.

    Also the point is that he is not doing anything to help stop the rise in antisemitism. Is he?

    If a president cant handle an easy question like that, it is doubtful that he can handle terrorism. Unless of course by handle you mean ignore as he did after the shooting in a mosque in Quebec.

    But he says America first. People hear that and associate “White people” first.

    Jews today are white until White is a thing in itself.

    There were swastikas all over NY subways recently. I don’t know how frequent this is but the president’s silence in antisemitism is taken as support.

    He had a chance to say something against it and instead spoke against Jews.

    It’s not like his words and behavior have no affect on the states and their success at mitigating the threats.

    If the big guy in office says that it’s okay then that may override local govt efforts.

    #1224617

    A gangbanger wrote graffiti on a building near me and the president hasn’t spoken out against that either. I guess he must support graffiti.

    Sorry I meant that his silence on antisemitism when given the chance to condemn it “in general” fosters an environment where it’s easier for people to think that it’s okay and they can get away with hate crimes (such as swastika graffitti and beating up minorities). We saw that with violence at his rallies too.

    People aren’t getting the message that something is wrong or criminal. Imho it’s more like they feel they have the right to defend their country by acting this way. Trump is a good role model.

    Words and behavior. Or words vs behavior.

    nope, just becasue you take you drink all that is fed to you by Rush Limbaugh doenst mean all people are that way. Most people can think for themselves, and while I agree with Obama on many things, that doesnt mean I agree with him on all things, and it certainly doesnt mean I idolize him

    Health, I know trying to convince you of the obvious is like spitting into the wind, but here goes. Trump rails against Islamic terror all over the world, including places that didn’t even have it (e.g. Sweden). But when an Islamophobe massacres worshippers in a mosque in Canada, he doesn’t let out a peep.

    For what it’s worth, at least Ivanka denounced anti-Semitism. It would have had more import if it came from Trump himself.

    And I don’t know what’s going on in Malmo, Sweden as if today, but a few years ago Jews were fleeing the city because of Muslim/immigrant anti-Semitism.

    If anyone has more up to date info. regarding Malmo, please enlighten us, but it’s worth a mention regardless for all those that think taking in refugees is without consequences. Especially for us Yidden who want to be altruistic, we have to face facts that a large percentage of these refugees are anti-Semitic because their culture condones it.

    People have to earn respect. Calling Trump a “third grader” is insulting to third graders. If I had a third grader who treated people the way Trump does I would smack him upside the head (not literally, but thats beside the point). that he tricked millions to vote for him doesnt change that one bit.

    “Our president is responsible for American lives, not Canadian lives!”

    I responded to that point already of course you ignored it as you always do and as Trump does when pointed out over and over how wrong almost everything he says is)

    Here is a reminder. YOU criticised Obama that he “couldn’t handle all the terrorism that occurred here and abroad!”

    IT seems earlier you viewed the job of President as handling Terrorism that occurs abroad. And I dont disagree. With Great power comes great responsibility.

    “But with your obsession to putting down our president…”

    I will tell you why I dislike Trump (and his vehement supporters) so much

    Note: Not you, I am quite fond of you. our conversations have been quite eye opening for me and further help me understand the mindset of Trump and his supporters

    I will elaborate with an example from Bret Stephens ( A conservative) who said the following recently at a Daniel PEarl memorial lecture:

    “Consider this recent exchange [Trump]

    To which the president replies:

    We are not a nation of logicians.

    … The president is responding to a claim of fact not by denying the fact, but by denying the claim that facts are supposed to have on an argument.

    This is my problem with Trump. Differences of opinion are critical to a democracy. Many dictatrorships have “elections” but with one candidate to choose from these are meaningless. While on most points I side with Democrats there are many many issues I side with Republicans. and that is healthy. Changing power every few years is a sign of a healthy democracy. Disagreement is good.

    However in order to have a difference of opinion we need to agree on baseline facts.

    for example there is a problem of mass shootings in the US. now soem feel more gun restrictions will help some feel arming more citizens will help. fine that is healthy. but if one where to argue that we have a lower mass shooting rate than other countries the discussion cant even begin.

    Trump ran (and won!) a campaign based on blatant falshoods. starting with his early claim of Mexico sending rapists and murderers etc… If we cant agree that that isnt true how can we ever solve anything.

    (While Hillary was no honest abe, the foundations of here campaign weren’t lies)

    Until Trump starts telling the truth it is critical to call him out, not to be numbed by his blatant disregard.

    As Stephens says in that same speech
