He mocked a disabled reporter, he bragged about sexual assault, and he ran an ad that showed pictures of Jews with a voiceover talking about global special interests controlling the levers of power. Also off the top of my head.
I wish the people who voted for Trump would just be honest and take ownership of the hate, instead of trying to gaslight everyone by playing dumb.
- mikeash 10y agoI momentarily forgot about all the anti-semitic stuff, which is kind of odd seeing as how I'd be a target of it.
- gaur 10y agoYeah, it's subtle, but there is a definite hum of anti-semitism going on in the background of Trump's inner political circle. First there was that poster with a six-pointed "sheriff" star on a pile of money, which (to me at least) didn't seem definitively anti-semitic. But in conjunction with hiring Steve Bannon (who has said he doesn't want his kids going to a school with too many Jews), running the "global special interests" ad, and retweeting white nationalists, it all starts to add up.
- somedangedname 10y agoMind you, AIPAC and co. have a massive influence in the US relative to the size of America's Jewish population.

I'm simply not blinded by rhetoric and political leanings like most in the US are. It may surprise you, but many in the rest of the world think both sides are nuts.
