Former President Donald Trump argued Friday that Jewish people who vote for President Biden in November “have to have their head examined” due to “being treated so badly” by the administration.
“If anybody that’s Jewish votes for him or Democrats, they have to have their head examined,” the 77-year-old told “Kayal and Company” on Philadlephia’s Talk Radio 1210 WPHT. “They are being treated so badly and have been for years,”
“Don’t forget the Iran nuclear deal – Israel begged them not to do that deal,” the 45th president added. “I ended it. But they begged them. And unfortunately, the Democrats did nothing with it, after the election was rigged, and they did nothing about it. But we would’ve had that whole thing worked out.”
“But it was, it is just amazing that a person who happens to be Jewish can be voting for this guy,” Trump went on. “It doesn’t make sense to me at all.”
Trump has repeatedly argued that Jewish voters should not cast their ballots for Biden.
In March, the presumptive GOP nominee said Jewish Democrats “hate their religion” and Israel.
“Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion,” Trump said while speaking on the “America First with Sebastian Gorka” podcast.
“They hate everything about Israel, and they should be ashamed of themselves because Israel will be destroyed [under Democratic leadership],” Trump added, mentioning the Biden administration easing sanctions on Iran.
The former president also sounded off on the Democrats’ response to nationwide anti-Israel campus protests last month.
“And I have seen it and you have seen it. Where is [Senate Majority Leader Chuck] Schumer? Why isn’t Schumer speaking up?” Trump said on Fox News’ “Hannity” as the NYPD cleared out demonstrators at Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall.
“Because he’s looking at votes, I guess. And I guess he’s looking at maybe more votes than represent Israel, but that has nothing to do with it. You have to stop this war on terrorists,” the former president added.
Senat Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in the US, argued on the Senate floor in March that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and “radical” members of his security cabinet were an “obstacle” to peace, calling for a “new election” in the Jewish state once the war against Hamas “starts to wind down.”
“As president, Donald Trump said Neo-Nazi marchers were ‘very fine people.’ Now, like a cuckoo-clock of hate, he is popping up every month with the same patronizing antisemitic shtick and reminding Jewish voters that he has no respect for us,” Biden campaign rep Charles Lutvak told The Post Friday.
“Like Trump himself lately, his monthly attack on American Jews is getting tired. Voters are ready to put it to bed and they will — by reelecting a president in Joe Biden who cares about people and fights for them instead of one who denigrates them and only cares about himself,” Lutvak added.
“In words and actions, Joe Biden has been clear that he stands with and will protect the Jewish community against the hatred Trump has encouraged. Anyone who disagrees should be spoken to.”
