Donald "Blame the Jews" Trump Is Truly Losing His Sh*t Now

Yssup Rider's Avatar
Trump went to this so-called antisemitism event to assure Jewish voters he was on their side. And of course, lost his fucking mind.

The lies are palpable. The rhetoric reminiscent of a day gone by. The threats against Jews (and others) very real.

And the MAGAS will claim it’s all fake news.

The proof is revealed every time the crazy fucker opens his mouth - he is a lunatic.

I’d like to hear from our resident MAGA button pushers on this; specifically the ones who have bought into Trump’s repeated claim that Harris is an anti-Semite (remember that one? It came a little bit before Harris kicked the shit out of him in the debate.

The Jewish people of this nation should be more concerned with Trump than students chanting death to Israel.

At an antisemitism event, Trump attacked American Jews. The man is unraveling fast, and the sanewashing must stop now.


It was billed as an antisemitism event, and, well, I guess it was, ultimately, although not in the intended sense. The phrase “antisemitism event” usually refers to an event designed to draw attention to and denounce antisemitism. But in Donald Trump’s hands, it morphed into an event that featured antisemitism, in the form of the mind-blowing comments by the principal.

After opining that the Democratic Party has “a hold, or curse” on Jewish Americans, he then said: “I’m not going to call this as a prediction, but in my opinion, the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss if I’m at 40 percent.… If I’m at 40, think of it, that means 60 percent are voting for Kamala [Harris], who, in particular, is a bad Democrat. The Democrats are bad to Israel, very bad.”

First of all, as always, he’s lying. He’s not at 40 percent. He’s at 25 percent. But lies are par for the course. What isn’t par for the course is to show up to a constituency and serially berate them. He said again that American Jews who vote for Kamala Harris “should have their head examined.” He took it as a given that Jews have a dual loyalty to the United States and to Israel—the oldest antisemitic trope in American politics. And he whined that “I haven’t been treated right” by American Jews.

But don’t worry—it wasn’t all about attacking Jews. He attacked Muslims too! He boasted that if elected, he’ll bring back the Muslim travel ban to keep out people from “infested” countries. That is plainly fascist language.

After the debate, I wrote a column arguing that this was the beginning of Trump’s unraveling. I’ve gotten my share of predictions wrong over the years, and we still have 46 days to go, but so far, that one is looking pretty good. In the last few days, Trump:
  • has continued to spew the lies about Haitians and house pets in Springfield, Ohio (and, of course, a poll found that 52 percent of Trump supporters think the lie is “definitely” or “probably” true);
  • in a press conference in Los Angeles, rambled about that “very large faucet” in Canada that could solve all of California’s water problems. (What was he doing campaigning in California anyway? Oh, of course: He was at one of his golf courses.) This is not entirely made up—he was apparently referring to the Columbia River, but as this Canadian scientist explains, needless to say, there is no faucet and it isn’t that simple;
  • said in an interview that the audience at the debate “went crazy” for him. Uh, there was no audience;
  • in one of his more bizarre rants ever, said he was “greater even than Elvis.” Trump: “Nobody can draw crowds like me.… I’m the greatest of all time. Maybe greater even than Elvis. Elvis had a guitar, I don’t have a guitar. I don’t have the privilege of a guitar.”
First of all, asshole, a guitar isn’t a “privilege.” It’s something you earn by learning how to play it, like I have. But learning a musical instrument requires having an attention span of more than five seconds, so that’s out of the question for Trump. He couldn’t learn the kazoo.

Second, his reference point shows his age, does it not? How far removed is Trump’s invocation of someone who was at his peak of popularity nearly 70 years ago and died nearly 50 years ago from Bob Dole’s famous reference to the Brooklyn Dodgers during the 1996 campaign? I mean, that was only 40 years after the Boys of Summer fled to L.A. And third, if you know anything about Elvis’s career and what rock and roll tours were like in those primitive days, you know that he was typically playing crowds of three or four thousand, often less—fairgrounds and high-school auditoriums. Even the ’70s-Vegas Elvis played mostly the Westgate Casino Cabaret, capacity 1,700. The large-scale rock and roll tour started with The Beatles and then grew from there. But Elvis remains the lodestar of the 80-year-old Queens brain.

Oh, and by the way: Trump said this at a rally where—of course—there were lots of empty seats and where, yes, people were spotted leaving early.

So we have two issues we need to examine here. First, the astonishingly offensive remarks Trump made Thursday night about Jews. His Jewish support should start sinking like a stone. But there’s one Jew who clearly loves him, and other events this week have to make us wonder whether Bibi Netanyahu is trying to start a war with Lebanon and maybe Iran to raise gas prices and screw up the economy (right after Jerome Powell made a move to ensure that doesn’t happen) to help Trump win, but that’s another column, if I get around to it.

The second issue is one that must remain front and center in the American political media: Trump is really losing his marbles now. Was that statement about the crowd going nuts for him at the debate a normal Trump lie? Or was it a fantasy of which he has convinced himself? If we hooked him up to a polygraph and he repeated that line, would his pulse quicken? Would he change his speech patterns, avert his eyes, cover his mouth? I doubt it. He wouldn’t even think he was lying.

The mainstream media still treats comments like this with diffidence: “Oh, that’s Trump.” No. These are defining comments. They tell us about his mental fitness. They matter. They should be covered. I can’t find evidence that The New York Times or The Washington Post covered those remarks.

This sanewashing must stop. Voters need to be informed when Trump makes statements with a tenuous connection to reality at best. He’s disqualifying himself from the presidency every day that he opens his mouth, but much of the mainstream media is ignoring the words coming out.

Trump is out of touch with reality, as he gets his news from Laura Loomer and Sean Hannity. Imagine the slow drip perc of stupidity those two provided. It's no wonder he thought he was mic dropping and instead dropped a deuce in his shorts.

In the words of Harris..

"Well -where ya been?"
... Blimey! ... Article from Apple-News?? ... They have Kamala
leading by five? ... So, Kamala don't need the "Jewish vote"...

And she's NOT going to get it - not with Kamala surely the
champion for the rights of the Hamas protests and the evil
"Kill the Jews" movement. ... Just sayin' ...

... "JEWS for TRUMP!"

Trump never has nor never will win the “Jewish vote.” Your “Kill the Jews movement” is a fear tactic developed by the Trump BS factory and targeted at MAGA cultists. The Palestinians, Iranians, etc., have pledged to “Kill the Jews” forever. We’ve survived worse than Trump. So far.

Don’t be daft, mate. And lay off the Kill the Jews stuff. It’s offensive.

I'm Jewish and two things. First of all, there may be other Jews on this site. Two, after what happened on October 7th we're very sensitive about people talking about Israel, and we have a particular distrust to those who say or imply from the river to the sea. Talking about this in the improper context, could be considered to be hate speech and will immediately be RTM'ed.

That said, do you agree with Salty's comment on the topic of the post? Or how about the OP itself?

Do you agree that if Trump loses it's OUR fault?

First of all the United States will never ever abandon Israel to its enemies. As long as the countries surrounding Israel harbor Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, All Iranian funded militias, the US will continue to provide support to the Israeli government. No matter what the Palestinian movement in America says or does.

What Hamas did on October 7th was a direct result of the Abraham Accords. They felt their cause slipping away from them as peaceful ties between the different states became more important than the fight against Israel. The only issue now is how far Israel will go and how far they can push their partners in the region before the inevitable backlash begins. A regional conflict helps no one but Iran.
