Donald Trump attacked American Jews on Sunday for not giving him enough political contributions and again suggested, falsely, that they have dual loyalties to the United States and Israel.
Jews need to « get their act together » and appreciate what they have in Israel « before it is too late, » Trump said in a social media post, unexplained comments that many took as a threat against political opponents.
Political commentator David Rothkopf likened Trump to a « mob boss » seeking to « shake down » Jewish donors – or else.
« We’ve been menaced by fascists before, you two-bit goon, » Rothkopf tweeted at Trump. « We recognize the the threat you represent from the darkest pages of our history. That’s why we’ll never submit to your threats. »
