But noone is listening anymore. The new normal. Also racist, but of course, that wins you elections.

In his 45-minute speech to an audience of over 4,300, the president criticized American Jews who, he said, were not sufficiently supportive of the Jewish state.

Later, Trump told an anecdote about people saying that he wouldn't step down after a second term.

So now we have to start thinking about that, because it's not a bad idea," Trump said. The audience responded with chants of "12 more years."


"You have to vote for me, you have no choice," Trump said. "You're not going to vote for Pocahontas, I can tell you that," referring to Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, in a dig at her claiming Native American ancestry.

You're not going to vote for the wealth tax," he went on. "Let's take 100 percent of your wealth away. No, no. Even if you don't like me — and some of you don't; some of you, I don't like at all, actually — and you're going to be my biggest supporters because you'll be out of business in about 15 minutes."

In 2015, Trump, then a candidate, told the Republican Jewish Coalition that "you're not going to support me because I don't want your money. You want to control your politicians, that's fine."

This shit needs to be called out, as tiresome as it is. History won't look kindly on those who stood by and watched.

I am so tired of the president. History books will remember him as an awful stain on American and human history. A laughing stock to the world and majority of the country, a laughing stock that includes every one of his dumbass supporters.

He's saying it but maybe we should criticize the audience he is speaking to which will in fact, vote for him, and also pour millions into making sure Democrats don't get elected.

Anyway, this isn't sustainable...

The level of frenzied panic that rich people feel over marginally higher tax rates is really incredible and revealing.

I had someone at work casually tell me, "I'm just an average, middle-class guy with a family trying to get by. I don't know what I'm going to do if my taxes go up any more."

This person makes over $250k/year.

Yeah, it's fucked up and I have no idea how it changes.

Surely their individual charities they use as tax shelters will be more productive in influencing the world in the ways they desire more efficiently than the government though!

The real question is, how much of the establishment does he have to replace with his own scrotum licking goons in order for forcing him out to no longer be on the table?
I've thought about it for sure. The military survey that showed like half the respondents looking at Russia as an ally is an eye-opener. With all the right wing nuts going on about civil war, I could totally see them recruiting Russia to help overthrow the rest of the US. Its scary shit. They could have a good chunk of the military, police force and another country on their side.

Americans elected a corrupt authoritarian working for a hostile foreign nation. There is no coming back from that.

Thank you for re-affirming one antisemitic statement with another.

Do you think every American Jew supports Israel blindly? In fact most American Jews are liberal and hate Trump with a passion.

their point is that the media is cool with antisemitism, islamophobia, war crime defenses, and so on so long as it's all couched in pro-Israel rhetoric

Thankfully, Trump will most likely be dead soon so he won't be able to try and stay on. But, yeah, people need to stop pretending that he is not a fascist.

The only saving grace is he is an obese, old man who likely won't even make it past another term without merging with oblivion. We would be way more fucked if he was in his 40s or 50s.

Yeah he's being saying shit like this since the Republican primary season in 2015. Its always been dismissed as a joke. Yet here we are 4 years later. People think Michael Cohen was joking when he said this. Its blatantly obvious at this point. Stayin in power is the only way he avoids jail. He'd burn the country down to prevent that.

I hope you're right.

To clarify, I don't mean Jews specifically. I more mean that it won't be a big story that Trump is antisemitic and saying antisemitic things. To what degree that is because of the media, or because average people don't care is hard to say.
For more background, I've been following the UK elections, so my post was also coming from that context, where the media and various other organizations are baselessly slandering Corbyn as an antisemite, but ignore the rampant antisemitism, islamophobia, and racism from Johnson and the Conservatives. It seems to me that Corbyn's more pro-Palestine views are a big part of that dynamic.
The situation isn't quite the same in the US, probably partly because Bernie is Jewish, so trying to paint him as an antisemite would be more difficult. Also, American Jews are, as you note, more liberal compared to the UK where more Jews are aligned with the Conservative Party.

Hopefully I am wrong, and people will take Trump's antisemitism seriously.

Republicans love the idea of a cosmic king who harms the unworthy with hell and suffrage, and they now have a human being with that same capabilities in charge of the government.

Mark my words, the GOP will normalize and go along with this. This isn't a red line because there is no fucking red line.

What a repulsive piece of garbage. In reality, the worst possible candidate was elected and runs the United States.

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

People knew what they were getting when they voted for him.

I had someone at work casually tell me, "I'm just an average, middle-class guy with a family trying to get by. I don't know what I'm going to do if my taxes go up any more."

Nothing different than what he's said and done in the past. He's always aimed for people's livelihoods.

"Vote for me or you'll be out of business"
"Vote for me or they'll tax all your money away"
"Stay on my side or have you replaced"
"Do what I want or you won't get this aid, money, support, etc"

From business leaders to world leaders to the GOP, it's all the same story.
