    Didn’t seem like he attacked Jews really, but he made it very clear he thinks of them as an “other” who are unified in their thought process and aligned with Israel.

    Like with white people he’s trying to win as many white votes as possible so he goes to a white working class coal mine in West Virginia and a (non-union but middle class) car part manufacturer in Michigan and a rural state fair.

    American Jews are just the US-based Israel contingent, to him. Israel has turned extremely right wing and the leader Bibi likes Trump, why aren’t US jews voting 100% in line with “their leader?”
