WASHINGTON – The campaigns of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are looking for signs anywhere and everywhere that might suggest who will move into the White House in January.
A company that makes Trump and Hillary kippas or yarmulkes has some good news for one of the presidential hopefuls – Trump head coverings are winning in a landslide among the Orthodox Jewish clientele.
So far, the company, Pic-A-Kippa, has sold 331 Trump yarmulkes to 65 for Clinton.
“My kippa (yarmulke) company sells Trump and Hillary kippas and are keeping track of who is selling more,” Uri Turk, founder and “chief kippa officer,” told WND. “We see it as an early exit poll of the Orthodox Jews, a type of bellwether of where this important community is leaning. Once the first debate came around, the orders started flying in, with much more interest in the Trump kippas.”
Pic-A-Kippa is the brainstorm of two former elite red beret IDF soldiers from Miami. Turk says the company is the leader in the kippa market and has been selling Trump and Hillary custom kippas on its site since August, all the while keeping a running tally of which one has sold more.
“Our mission is to help Jews everywhere show and wear their Jewish pride, with our beautifully unique and completely customizable picture kippas,” the company says on its website.
It donates 10 percent of every kippa sale to the Lone Soldier Center in Israel, assisting young lone soldiers during difficult times.
Turk said while American Jews have leaned heavily Democratic for decades, the past few presidential races have seen Orthodox Jews, who make up over 10 percent of American Jewry, vote Republican in ever increasing numbers. He attributes that fact to the Democrats putting “daylight between America and Israel.”

Maybe Trump will get a bigger percentage of the Jewish vote this time around.
I wonder since they are Orthodox, maybe there are regulations, are they not supposed to wear things related to a woman - like having the name Hillary on it?
What would that have to do with a woman?
Interesting double reference to Ephraim. Isa 7:8
Ephraim אפרים
= 331
Thanks.
I also note the title: “Bellwether? Trump kippas outselling Hillary yarmulkes.”
That’s an interesting transition.
“so it shall be written, so it shall be done......” Vote Trump! Make Jerusalem the location of the US embassy. Most importantly vote against HRC!!!
Baruch HaShem!
TTTT!
Orthodox are, I think, ten per cent of American Jews?
Maybe 80% of 10% of Jews who are what, 3% of the population?
Hillary is, or was, a man’s name.Many female names started out that way, like Beverly.
