An Israeli reporter today posed what I thought was a direct question for Donald Trump.
How would the president deal with increases in anti-Semitic rhetoric in the United States since his election? That’s the crux of the question directed at Trump.
The president’s response? Suffice to say it was way off the mark. He began by boasting about his electoral victory.
He mentioned something about his son-in-law, who is Jewish, as is his daughter. He talked about all the “love” he is going to produce and said he intends to stop racism.
The president didn’t condemn anti-Semitism, which drew a rebuke from the Anti-Defamation League.
I am still shaking my head.
