Donald “America’s Hitler” Trump gives green light to supporters to blame Jews if he loses in November

Once upon a time, before he became Donald Trump‘s companion, JD Vance speak his law school roommate “went back and forth between thinking Trump was a cynical asshole… or that he was America’s Hitler.” Obviously, the Ohio senator has since backed off on any negative things he’s said about Trump in the past. But he clearly shouldn’t have, especially when it comes to his Hitler sentiments, given all the blatantly anti-Semitic comments Trump has made throughout the campaign—including the comment he made last night about whose fault it is if he loses in November. Spoiler alert: It’s the Jews!

That’s right: At a campaign event on Thursday, it was—wait for it—about condemn anti-Semitism, Republican candidate for president speak Audience: “If I don’t win this election…the Jews will suffer greatly.” The former president baselessly claimed that Kamala Harris, who is married to a Jewish man, “hates Israel”, while he is “the best friend Jewish Americans have ever had in the White House”. He suggested that American Jews should be more grateful to him, saying, “For all I’ve done for Israel, I only get 24% of the Jewish vote… I’m not really treated well, but that’s the story of my life”.

At another event the same day hosted by the Israeli-American Council, Trump continued to blame Jews, saying that if he lost the election to Harris, Israel would be destroyed and that Jews would be held responsible for “voting for the enemy.”

Blaming the Jews for everything was, of course, Adolf Hitler’s MO. The Nazi leader be blamed German Jews, in response to Germany’s defeat in World War I, claimed that this tiny minority had “stabbed Germany in the back”—language that sounds no different from what Trump said yesterday, and no different from what he has said and done regarding Jews for years now. Again, those words and actions include, but are not limited to:

Meanwhile, during his trip blaming Jews on Thursday, Trump said nothing about Mark Robinson, The Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina that the former president has endorsed and that CNN reported yesterday once called himself “theBlack NAZI” in online comments, among other things. (Robinson has denied writing the comments.)
