https://www.yahoo.com/news/harris-campaign-jewish-groups-fiercely-200631139.html Harris campaign, Jewish groups fiercely criticize Trump preemptively blaming Jewish voters if he loses FRITZ FARROW and OREN OPPENHEIM Fri, September 20, 2024 Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign and Jewish advocacy groups on Friday forcefully criticized what they called former President Donald Trump's "dangerous" and "antisemitic" comments saying Jewish voters would be to blame if he lost the presidential election. "I'll put it to you very simply and as gently as I can: I wasn't treated properly by the voters who happen to be Jewish," Trump said at an event Thursday night in Washington that was meant to highlight antisemitism. "I don't know. Do they know what the hell is happening if I don't win this election? And the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that if that happens, because at 40% that means 60% of the people are voting for the enemy." The backlash was fierce. "Donald Trump is resorting to the oldest antisemitic tropes in the book because he's weak and can't stand the fact that the majority of America is going to reject him in November. But we know that words like these can have dangerous consequences," Harris campaign national security spokesperson Morgan Finkelstein said in a statement. "As Trump has proven, including over the past few weeks with his lies about Springfield, Ohio, he will cling to fearmongering and intimidation, no matter the cost."

JD Vance of Ohio, have in recent days pushed the baseless claim that Haitian migrants in Springfield, most of whom are legally there, of stealing and eating neighbors' pets -- an accusation roundly refuted by local officials. "When Donald Trump loses this election, it will be because Americans from all faiths, ethnicities, and backgrounds came together to turn the page on the divisiveness he demonstrates every day," Finkelstein added. Harris' husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, who is Jewish himself, wrote on X Friday that Jewish Americans would not be "intimidated" by Trump's attacks. "Last night, Donald Trump once again fanned the flames of antisemitism by trafficking in tropes blaming and scapegoating Jews. He even did it at an event purporting to fight antisemitism, no less," Emhoff wrote. "This is dangerous and must be condemned. We will not be intimidated and will continue to live openly, proudly, and without fear as Jews." Non-partisan Jewish advocacy organizations also vocalized their strong opposition to Trump's comment. "Whoever a majority of the Jewish community votes for, Jews -- roughly 2 percent of the U.S. population -- cannot and should not be blamed for the outcome of the election," the American Jewish Committee wrote in a statement. "Setting up anyone to say, 'we lost because of the Jews' is outrageous and dangerous. Thousands of years of history have shown that scapegoating Jews can lead to antisemitic hate and violence." Some Jewish voters will vote for Harris, and some will vote for Trump, the AJC said, adding that "None of us, by supporting the candidate we choose, is 'voting for the enemy.'"

(Jacquelyn Martin/AP) MORE: Doug Emhoff attacks Donald Trump over antisemitic comments Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblat wrote on social media that Trump's comments contradicted the message of the antisemitic event at which he was speaking and can make it worse for Jewish Americans. "Preemptively blaming American Jews for your potential election loss does zero to help American Jews. It increases their sense of alienation in a moment of vulnerability when right-wing extremists and left-wing antizionists continually demonize and slander Jews," Greenblat wrote "Let's be clear, this speech likely will spark more hostility and further inflame an already bad situation." Amy Spitalnick, who leads the progressive-leaning Jewish Council for Public Affairs, encouraged more people to join growing chorus slamming Trump's comment. "Last night, Trump preemptively blamed the Jews for his possible electoral loss, after spending months calling Jews who don't support him 'crazy' & 'disloyal.' Speaking out against this isn't about partisan politics -- it's about fundamental Jewish safety," Spitalnick wrote. "We need everyone to do so." Trump did receive backing from some on the political right. The Republican Jewish Coalition, a major Jewish political group that has endorsed Trump, praised Trump for his remarks on combatting antisemitism. Matt Brooks, the CEO of the organization, told ABC News in a phone interview that he thought the comments about Jewish voters and the election were about motivating Jewish voters, and that Democratic claims otherwise are a deflection. "I think what it was is the president trying to motivate the Jewish community," Brooks said, adding that Trump "realizes what's at stake" for American Jews, who feel unsafe in America due to a rise in antisemitism. (Brooks pointed to intimidation faced by Jewish students on college campuses as one example.) "This is an absolute distraction, to deflect that [Trump] made many significant and important contributions to the Jewish community," Brooks said. He added that Trump was also indicating how close of an election it may be in battleground states, where given the likely slim margin, "if the Jewish vote doesn't move in his favor, it may cost him the election."

He constantly sounds like a guy who thinks he will lose. Must be a "psyops" job by those "phony" poll people calling it close.
Ja.... he's not interested in Making America Great Again. He's not campaigning because he doesn't want to waste good money and venues want to be paid upfront because he stiffed them in the past. Him and his children are fixated on the Crypto world right now. They figure they can milk it there. What are the red-necks going to do once they're under the bus. Off course , him and his children wouldn't care shit. Trump talks up World Liberty Financial crypto exchange, but many questions remain Former President Donald Trump on Monday announced his latest business venture, a cryptocurrency platform called World Liberty Financial that will be controlled by sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. Trump's announcement, streamed on X from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, marked his first appearance since an apparent assassination attempt at his Florida golf course on Sunday. With Trump disclosing few specifics about World Liberty Financial, details about the platform, which is not yet live, remain scarce. Typically, crypto exchanges are platforms where investors can buy and sell digital currencies, similar to how a traditional stock exchange operates. Crypto exchanges often charge fees to withdraw bitcoin and other digital currencies. During the hours-long announcement, Trump didn't disclose how World Liberty Financial would work, pivoting from questions about cryptocurrency to talking about artificial intelligence or other topics. Other speakers during the event, including his eldest son, Don Jr., discussed embracing cryptocurrency as an alternative to what they contend is a banking system tilted against conservatives. About two hours into the livestream, executives behind the venture, who include entrepreneurs Chase Herro and Zachary Folkman, revealed who can buy World Liberty tokens, called WLFI, and how shares of the project will be allotted. A fifth of WLFI tokens will be reserved for the project's founding team, including the Trumps, while 17% are set aside for user rewards, Folkman said. The remaining 63% of tokens will be sold to the public. He also urged potential investors to follow World Liberty Financial on X for more details, which he said would be coming soon. "We have to be No. 1. I think AI is really important, but I think crypto is one of those things we have to do," Trump said.
