I'll repeat my post from the other thread

A foolish tweet. My understanding this is the full quote

Five years ago, the concept of even talking about this even three years ago of cutting off aid to Israel because of two people that hate Israel and hate Jewish people. I can't believe we're even having this conversation. Where has the Democratic Party gone? Where have they gone where they're defending these two people over the State of Israel?"I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat -- it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.

Though it seems clear he's talking about the position of some Democrats, more than two, on aid to Israel, there's no reason to paraphrase an old antisemitic canard. I doubt he'll win any votes with this. And what about the Christians who support Israel and vote for Dems? Are they disloyal? To who?

Are they disloyal? To who?

Good question.

The Breitbart guy is sure it's other Jews.

"Trump was referring to “disloyalty” to fellow Jews, not to America — a claim that is distinct from the antisemitic “dual loyalty” charge that Omar and Tlaib have both used to describe Americans who support Israel."

But Trump's personal lawyer, Giuliani, says:

"But really disappointed a rep of the ADL would feign confusion about @realDonaldTrump's statement. POTUS is referring to disloyalty to Israel."
