Donald Trump criticized Jewish voters for supporting President Joe Biden on Wednesday.
He said they needed to “check the head.”
Trump’s comments held up a mirror to President Joe Biden’s famous quote: “If you can’t decide whether you’re for me or Trump, then you’re not black.”

Trump questions sanity of Jewish American Biden voters
Speaking before a fundraiser in Atlanta, Trump, the likely Republican presidential nominee, continued to criticize Biden for his handling of Israel’s war with Hamas.
“Biden has completely lost control of the situation in Israel,” Trump said.
He added, “Any Jew who votes for Democrats or Biden should get their head checked.”
Trump’s remarks came after Biden warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week that future U.S. support for Israel’s war in Gaza depended on the rapid implementation of new measures to protect civilians and aid workers, PBS reported. . In Trump’s explanation, Biden “has completely given up on Israel.”
The story continues:
The conflict in Gaza has wedged Biden between conservatives, including Christians and Jews, and progressives, who are hoping for solid support for Netanyahu’s government. The matter is important to conservative Christians, one of Trump’s strongest constituencies, who see the political state of Israel as a modern manifestation of God’s chosen people, the Israelites of the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. .
Biden’s left, however, is dominated by progressives angry at Israel’s retaliatory actions in Gaza that have killed thousands of Palestinians. The president has been repeatedly greeted by protesters during his spring travels, and activists have organized votes against Biden in many Democratic primaries even as he approaches renomination.

“This is what Trump does, exploits division and hatred”
In response to Trump’s remarks, a spokesman for the Biden team said, “Jewish Americans do not need to be ‘spoken to’ or threatened by Donald Trump.”
“This is what Trump is doing, using division and hatred as a political weapon while seeking power for himself,” he added. “In November, voters of all stripes will once again reject his threats of chaos, violence and madness.”
Apparently Trump believes he has a better handle on the Middle East conflict than the president, so he said Jewish voters need to “examine their heads” if they support Biden.
Don’t expect Donald Trump’s mind to change anytime soon. How all this will affect the November election, time will tell.
