Trump says Jewish people to be partially blamed if he doesn't win the U.S. election

'Do they know what the hell is happening? If I don’t win this election — and the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that if that happens — because at 40%, that means 60% of the people voting for the enemy'

Former President Donald Trump made a pitch to Jewish voters on Thursday, touting his pro-Israel record, and saying that they could be critical to the 2024 election.

Addressing the Israeli-American Council’s annual summit in Washington, D.C., Trump joked about the advantage that Democrats enjoyed among Jews at the polls in 2016 and 2020, despite his support for the Jewish state and his daughter, son-in-law and three of his grandchildren being Jewish.
