Former President Donald Trump's recent comments that American Jews have offered insufficient praise of his policies toward Israel were "insulting" and "antisemitic," White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday.
"Donald Trump's comments were antisemitic, as you all know, and insulting both to Jews and our Israeli allies," Jean-Pierre told reporters.
A Trump spokesperson did not immediately respond to request for comment.
Trump on Sunday warned that American Jews need to “get their act together” before “it is too late!”
The suggestion of disloyalty, made on Trump’s social media platform Truth Social, appeared to play into the antisemitic trope that U.S. Jews have dual loyalties to the U.S. and to Israel, and it drew immediate condemnation.
“No President has done more for Israel than I have,” Trump wrote before adding that it was somewhat surprising that “our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S.”
Last week, President Joe Biden told CNN in an interview that "I believe I can beat Donald Trump again" if both men run for president in 2024.

Trump’s comments were absolutly true.
Unfortunately, there are too many “American” Jews who would vote for Adolph Hitler if he had a “D” after his name.
“as you all know...” Exactly what a White House press secretary would say to the MSM. Still, Trump bases too much of his comments on how much someone kisses his butt.
Well, there goes the Jewish vote......................
Sure he does.
Does this mean Trump is literally Hitler again?
He said nothing anti-Semitic.
Waiting for this same White House (whose policies are arguably anti-Semitic) to condemn their own squad who made actual anti-Semitic remarks that Pelosi’s and Biden condoned!
Don’t be a simpleton!
Someone should tell the air-headed Affirmative Action carpet-muncher that Trump son-in-law is an American Jew...
Why wouldn’t the Democrats try to brand him as a Jew hater?
They’ve tried to call him a racist countless times.
The fact is, the vast majority of Jews vote for Democrats.
So yes, the Democrats are going to try to use race to keep
the Jews on their plantation.
The Democrats will never change, thinking they have the
right to own people of certain races.
Trump was alluding to the FACT that the Democrats have
notoriously been antisemitic, and their policies towards
Israel have seldom be positive.
Even the peace deal with Sadat involved the return of the
Sinai Peninsula. All Sadat offered was no future hostility.
Israel offered that also, but it didn’t get anything extra
tossed in.
He should stop trying to get Jews to vote for him because of Israel. They are not the same thing & it makes him look bad.
“there are too many “American” Jews who would vote for Adolph Hitler if he had a “D” after his name”
Why do Jews have a tendency to vote Democrat, especially today when the Democratic party isn’t what it used to be.
>> Trump on Sunday warned that American Jews need to “get their act together” before “it is too late!” <<
Well, he’s right. American Jews are not all that supportive of Israel, and that lack of support is adverse to Israel’s survival.
The mentality that “We can bash Republicans all day, and they will still support Israel for us, even if we don’t” is a risky viewpoint.
I’m Jewish, but not the tiniest bit offended by what he said.
Last I heard Ivanka Trump is an American Jew.
Most American Jews don’t like Israel. Jared was always a RAT and I would not be surprised if he didn’t vote for Trump.
Jewish family man here:
He’s right.
And it isn’t antisemitic to say some policies are good for Israel.
Furthermore, a daughter and grandchildren are being raised conservative (or maybe orthodox). If he wasn’t spewing antisemitic garbage behind closed doors his entire life either: she wouldn’t have married a Jew, or they would be estranged.
This is one of the tropes against trump that makes NO sense.
Nothing wrong with what Trump said.
The filthy media will run headlines for the next week that Trump is anti-Semitic.
Because many are leftist. Same as Israel where many are leftists.
