As a nation, we have grown accustomed to our president’s seemingly unstable rants. However, his most recent comments about Democratic Jewish Americans being “either misinformed or disloyal”  clearly show his biases, and this causes a great deal of concern for many across the nation.

Now, of course this statement does not come from a place of genuine anti-Semitism —or at least I hope not. This comes from a place of fear. Recently, Trump has bumped heads with two congresswomen, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, both of whom are Muslim. This statement, to me, seems like a desperate attempt to remove some of their influence.

Omar and Tlaib have, for a long time, defied Trump, which also influenced the areas they represent. They especially have a lot of opinions on the current struggle with Israel, which all defy what Trump is currently doing.

It is from this that Trump comes up with the gem of a quote: “How can you support someone who hates your religion?”

Now, these comments are nothing new when it comes to Trump, who randomly makes backhanded claims about people who oppose him. It’s the bit about disloyalty that brings up a darker part of our history.

Disloyalty is something that Jewish people have long been accused of by many people throughout history, and it has led to disastrous consequences.

Now, I’m not about to say that Trump is the second Hitler:  I don’t believe that this is rooted in a deep hatred for Jewish people. I believe this, like many other things Trump says and does, is rooted in a temper tantrum.

Trump shows a clear pattern any time someone says something against him many times. He goes to social media and throws a temper tantrum about how he isn’t getting his way. It’s childish and ridiculous, and it’s nothing to which the American people aren’t accustomed.

Of course, no Jewish person is going to support everything that Israel does, just like no American is going to support everything that America does.

Trump’s constant white supremacist comments are rooted in a childish fear of those who oppose him. The people who support him are largely white men, so his racist and anti-Semitic comments are simply tantrums as a result of those who defy him — nothing more.
