On Wednesday, Donald Trump criticized Jewish voters who support President Joe Biden.
He said they need to “get their heads examined.”
Trump’s comments are like the mirror opposite of President Joe Biden’s famous quote: “If you have trouble knowing whether you’re for me or for Trump, then you ain’t black.”

Trump questions the sanity of Biden’s Jewish-American voters
Trump spoke in Atlanta ahead of a fundraiser, where the likely Republican presidential candidate continued to criticize Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
“Biden has totally lost control of the Israeli situation,” Trump said.
He added: “Any Jewish person who votes for a Democrat or votes for Biden should have their head examined.”
PBS reported: “Trump spoke after Biden last week warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that future US support for Israel’s war in Gaza depends on the rapid implementation of new measures to protect civilians and aid workers . According to Trump’s interpretation, Biden “has completely abandoned Israel.”
The story continued:
The Gaza conflict has squeezed Biden between conservatives – both Christians and Jews – who want firm support for Netanyahu’s government, and progressives. The issue is important to conservative Christians, among Trump’s most pro-Trump voters, who see Israel’s political state as the modern manifestation of God’s chosen people, the Israelites of the Old Testament in the Christian Bible.
Biden’s left flank, however, is dominated by progressives enraged by Israel’s retaliation in Gaza that has left thousands of Palestinians dead. The president was repeatedly greeted by protesters during his spring travels, and activists organized votes against Biden in many Democratic primaries, even as he was about to run again.

“This is what Trump does, using division and hate”
Team Biden’s spokesperson said in response to Trump’s remarks: “American Jews do not need to be ‘talked down’ or threatened by Donald Trump.”
“This is what Trump does, using division and hatred as political weapons as he seeks power for himself,” he added. “Voters of all stripes will once again reject his chaos, his violence and his crazy threats in November.”
Trump obviously believes he has a better approach to the Middle East conflict than the president, hence his remarks about Jewish voters needing a “head check” if they support Biden.
Don’t expect Donald Trump’s mind to change anytime soon. How all this will affect the November elections, time will tell.
Now is the time to support and share the sources you trust.
