Trump Calls Himself ‘the Best Ally’ for Jewish People

“Donald Trump didn’t mention his dinner with two prominent antisemites figures last month in an address to a Jewish group Friday morning, his first public speech since the controversy ensued,” The Forward reports.

Trump spent most of his 30-minute speech detailing “the things I have done for my Jewish friends and the Jewish people, and for Israel.”

Trump also said he was confused as to why he got only 26% of the Jewish vote in his failed reelection bid: “It doesn’t make sense… How do you do that? How do you do that when they’re really inducing possible destruction of Israel? Somebody in this room may explain it one day. But I don’t understand it.”
