Former president Donald Trump pledged to restore the power of the Israel Lobby over Congress during a “Fighting Antisemitism” event with pro-Israel megadonor Miriam Adelson on Thursday.
Trump said that “years ago” if you said “anything bad about Israel or Jewish people you were finished as a politician.”
“The most powerful lobby in this country by far was Israel and Jewish people,” Trump noted. “Today, it’s almost like what happened? What happened? What happened to Schumer? What happened to all these people? Schumer is like a Palestinian!”
“The power, Miriam, of this Lobby this powerful– and it was for the good, not for bad,” Trump said.
“Fifteen years ago it was the absolute most powerful — you couldn’t have an ‘AOC plus three’ — they wouldn’t have a chance of being elected anywhere and today you have AOC and some of these people and they’re uh, pretty violent, pretty violent and they hate Israel and they hate Jewish people.”
Trump then told the Jewish group not to worry because he will be their man in the White House.
Does anyone believe humans are an intelligent species with free will? If so, I'd like to hear the explanation for how the enthusiasm for Trumpstein is compatible with that belief.
