Among the expansive field of Republican presidential candidates on display in the party’s first debates Thursday night, Donald Trump may be the most closely connected to the Jewish people.
Trump is from New York, works in professions saturated with Jews and long has been a vocal supporter of Israel. His daughter and two grandchildren are Jewish...
But if you expect to find Jewish donors of influence in Trump’s network of associates, you’ll be disappointed: The billionaire’s campaign is self-financed, not donor-funded. Forbes estimates Trump’s net worth at about $4 billion; Trump says he’s worth $10 billion.
As the main attraction of the Republican debate, Trump’s trademark chutzpah was on sharp display. When asked about past references to women he dislikes as “fat pigs,” “slobs” and “disgusting animals,” Trump said he has no time for political correctness. He bragged about how Hillary Clinton dared not miss his most recent wedding because he donated to her campaign. And he refused to rule out running as a third-party candidate should someone else win the Republican nomination.
Given his myriad Jewish associations, Trump is not an unfamiliar face in Jewish circles. He has served as a grand marshal at New York’s annual Salute to Israel Parade. After Hurricane Katrina, he was among a group of celebrities who decorated Jewish federation tzedakah boxes to be auctioned off to support hurricane disaster relief. And in February, he was honored with an award at the annual gala for the Algemeiner, a right-wing Jewish news organization.
“I have a Jewish daughter. This wasn’t in the plan, but I’m very glad it happened,” Trump said at the event, held in Manhattan. On Israel, he said, “We love Israel. We will fight for Israel 100 percent, 1,000 percent. It will be there forever.”

Oh Noes...this just isn’t fair.
Sounds like Trump is pretty nice guy.
Jews control government.
Jews control Wall Street.
Jews control Hollywood.
Now they control ties?
Those vile bastards! /s /s /s /s /s
Sounds like Trump is pretty nice guy.
Except to women /s
All of Trump’s inflections are Jewish circa 1950-60s when Jews rose to prominence in this great city. To paraphrase Lenny Bruce, Jews born in the Midwest are goys and goys born in NYC are Jews. Trump is a perfect example of that in his sharp-witted putdowns that Eva Braun didn’t get because she has no idea what Jewish humor is if she even understands what humor is at all. White bread Nazi!
Trump’s a little bit tacky...but’s he’s a good guy from what I hear.
ROFLMAO!!! Thanks I needed that.
= :^)
Just providing the humor illegal immigrants refuse to.
I have read every recommended bio of Hitler, but that is news to me.
A source would be much appreciated.
I have a rather complete library of this subject.
I call Kelly Eva Braun, lol. I’m sure the real Eva Braun wasn’t exactly a repository of Jewish humor.
Trump did say that Rosie O’Donnell was as ugly on the inside as she is on the outside.
I have to concur :-)
Only a New Yorker could get it.
I’ll make more sense in the morning. It’s after my bedtime.
“We love Israel. We will fight for Israel 100 percent, 1,000 percent. It will be there forever.”
Sounds JUST LIKE Obama!
Neu Yuk Jews are largely commies. As such, they will not support Trump.
Nothing new in the above, alas.
All indications, over a long period, back up your statement. Recent opportunities to watch his expressions and movements, while listening to his tone would indicate a nice/good man with a Titanium spine.
