Trump and the Jews - Why?

 As the election approaches There is an increasing call in the frum World for Trump - as the friend of Israel and not Harris who is portrayed as the Devil, 

I have been trying to understand what Jews see in Trump - an obviously senile showman.. He is a compulsive liar, adulterer, braggart, convicted fraudster sexual abuser, twice impeached, incompetent businessman, biggoted and spews divisive rhetoric all the time and lover of dictators Threatens to use military against the enemy within - his political opponents. Self proclaimed greatest defender of gay rights who demands absolute loyalty and has been described as a fascist and a danger to the country by close former staff. He also has a love affair with pseudoscience. windmills cause cancer. Injected bleach cures covid. So why are Jews attracted to him. The standard answer well he says nice things about Jews moved the embassy to Jerusalem and he has Jewish grandchildren even while he associates with antisemites

It calls to mind Herod - the non-Jewish king who killed various family members including his wife built large temples to idolatry - but he rebuilt the Temple is the common justification for not rejecting him.

Similarly Jews have a tremendous sense of inferiority and consequently are desperate for a compliment and always looking for praise - look at all the Nobel prize winners look at the divorce rate look at the happy families with many children, look how educated and civilized we are Look at how much charity we give. Jews are narcisstic. Look for legal loop holes.  Think in black and white terms, View those who are not fans as antisemites or heretics while Trump believes all those who don't recognize his greatness and infallibility as suffering from TDS. Even the Aguda has a special program "Getting to know Us" - both believe that if they were truly understood they would be loved and viewed as the Chosen One.

During a campaign rally in Allentown Tuesday night, Trump portrayed the investigation as complete—and voter-registration applications as actual votes cast in Lancaster. “They have cheated.

Lutnick denied that Kennedy had any interest in a government position, instead claiming that all he wanted was more data on vaccines to investigate their efficacy.

“I think it’d be pretty cool to give me the data we’ll see what he comes up with,” Lutnick said. “It’s pretty fun.”

After being confronted about the dozens of leading scientific experts who have raised alarm bells about such an arrangement, Lutnick made a truly wild claim: that those scientists “were paid to say [RFK Jr.] pushes lies.”

He failed to offer any evidence to back the claim up.
