Former President Donald Trump made controversial statements on Monday regarding his perceived support among the Jewish community and his stance on foreign policy. On the anniversary of the October 7 attacks against Israel, Trump claimed that he should receive “100% of the Jewish vote” and asserted that he has done more for the Jewish people than anyone else.
During a call to the radio show “Sid & Friends,” Trump expressed his belief that the attacks would not have occurred if he were still in office. He stated, “Nobody’s done more for the Jewish people than I have. Nobody’s done more for Israel as a president, maybe beyond being a president.”
Trump went on to suggest that he could potentially run for prime minister in Israel, although he acknowledged the current leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu. He criticized President Joe Biden, labeling him as the “worst foreign policy president in history” and attributing the October 7 attacks and the situation in Ukraine to Biden’s leadership.
Trump's comments have sparked debate and criticism, with many questioning the accuracy of his claims and the appropriateness of his statements. The former president's remarks highlight the ongoing political divisions and tensions surrounding issues related to foreign policy and support for Israel.
