Trump: Republicans did poorly in midterms because of a ‘great dislike’ for Israel

 https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-november-9-2026/

US President Donald Trump says that one of the reasons Republicans did so poorly in last week’s midterm elections is because Americans really don’t like Israel, with whom his government has a close relationship.

Trump is asked during an interview on 60 Minutes to reflect on the midterms, and he gives several reasons for the Democratic takeover of both the House and the Senate.

“Number one, I was not on the ballot,” Trump says, noting that voters didn’t like some of the Republican candidates, including ones he endorsed.

“But there’s something beyond that. They didn’t like the war. They didn’t like the fact that gasoline went up,” he adds.

“And there’s a great dislike — incredibly — for Israel,” Trump says, without elaborating.

  1. And he's right. Three generations of academics educating students to hate Israel. Billions of Arab dollars pumped into the effort to get out the message that Israel is bad. Endless manipulation of social media algorithms to reinforce that. And a couple of generations raised on screens with 5 second atttention spans and no ability to look beyond headlines. So what did you think would happen?
