Smug Trump Tells U.S. Jews to Be More Thankful—‘Before It Is Too Late’

In a deranged post on Sunday, Trump said Jewish Americans need to “get their act together.”

Trump offered an ominous message Sunday morning, warning “U.S. Jews” to “get their act together” and be more appreciative—“before it is too late.” He even claimed that his own approval rating is so high in Israel that he could “easily” be the country’s prime minister. “No President has done more for Israel than I have,” Trump said in the deranged post on Truth Social. “Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S.” It was just the latest addition to a repertoire of antisemitic stereotypes he’s tried to leverage against the Jewish people. He once told a group of Jewish Americans that former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was “your prime minister,” and that voting Democrat would be showing a “great disloyalty.” “U.S. Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel - Before it is too late!,” Trump said in his Sunday post, without specifying what the sinister “too late” phrase might mean.
