Every politician get stumped at least once in their career. President Barack Obama was stumped by a journalist from CNN about an ISIS question. Carly Fiona was stumped at a GOP debate, when asked how would she respond to criticism about republicans not being able to compete with democrats in job creation. Donald Trump just happened to get stumped early in his political career, which exposed his position on the Israel-Palestinian conflict. He does not care much about it because he equally hates Jews and Muslims.
While meeting with roughly 30 reporters from multiple Jewish media outlets and Orthodox Jewish activists last Thursday in his office, Mr. Trump did not answer a question about the West Bank Settlements.
In the middle of the meeting, according to the publication New York Times, a reporter asked Trump how he would refer to what is commonly known as the West Bank Settlements. He failed to quibble an answer to the reporter. Jason Greenblatt, The Chief Legal Officer (CLO) of the Donald Trump Campaign, was there to offer his two cents.
Jason Greenblatt, an observant Jew, quickly came up with an answer. Mr. Greenblatt, told Mr. Trump a generic pro-Israel answer, that he would not describe The West Bank Settlement as being "occupied" and that to not get caught up in "terminology," according to the publication New York Times. However, Mr. Trump never specifically answered the question back to the reporter. Mr. Trump might not be as Pro-Israel as he might claim.
This is not the first press conference where he showed disrespect to a Jewish audience. Mr. Trump blurted out a lot of "offensive" comments, according to the publication Progress, while speaking to the Republican Jewish Coalition in Washington, D.C. last year. He told the audience that he did not need "their money" and because of it, they would " probably not support him," according to the publication Think Progress.
The recent statements by Mr. Trump about Muslims portray his attitude toward Palestinians. Mr. Trump thinks they're all terrorists. Mr. Trump's rhetoric about Muslims are so harsh, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rebuked Mr. Trump's Muslim ban comment.
Is he trying to Make America Great Again by excluding Jews and Muslims?
