“I supported Trump with full awareness that he would frequently embarrass himself, and, by extension, me.” One such moment took place this week when the president pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez, the former president of Honduras, who had served only two years of a 45-year sentence for drug trafficking.
That pardon created an air of complete incoherence around American policy. At the very moment when the president has basically declared war on Venezuela’s dictator Nicolas Maduro for running drugs into the country, and has claimed the right to blast speedboats allegedly carrying those drugs out of the water, he pardons another Latin American leader-cum-drug lord.
Another of those embarrassing Trumpian moments — and one of greater consequence for the Jewish community — took place recently, when he weighed in on the controversy around Tucker Carlson’s softball interview of neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.
Can one urge rounding up and killing Jews, as Fuentes has done, and still be part of the MAGA movement? That’s one question. The other: Is Carlson complicit in those ideas when he provides them with a broad audience? And if he is complicit, is he still part of the MAGA team?
In 2024, the choice for the Jewish community was
ReplyDelete1) Kamala Harris would turn on the Jews and Israel, causing harm to both
2) Trump might or he might support Israel and the Jews
And that was the choice they were faced with.
Now those whose disintegrating brains think everything Trump does, from penalizing universities for allowing Jew haters to run amok to supplying Israel with military and diplomatic support to fight Hamas are actually proof of his Jew hatred, this makes great sense.
