Trump Says Jewish Americans Who Support Biden ‘Should Have Their Head Examined’
On Wednesday, Donald Trump criticized Jewish voters who support President Joe Biden.
He said they need to âhave their head examined.â
Trumpâs comments are like the mirror opposite of President Joe Bidenâs famous line, âIf you have a problem figuring out whether if youâre for me or Trump, then you ainât black.â

Trump Questions the Mental Sanity of Jewish-American Biden Voters
Trump spoke in Atlanta ahead of a fundraiser, where the likely GOP presidential nominee continued to criticize Bidenâs handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
âBiden has totally lost control of the Israel situation,â said Trump.
He added, âAny Jewish person who votes for a Democrat or votes for Biden should have their head examined.â
PBS reported, âTrump spoke after Biden last week warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that future U.S. support for Israelâs Gaza war depends on the swift implementation of new steps to protect civilians and aid workers. In Trumpâs interpretation, Biden âhas totally abandoned Israel.â
The story continued:
The Gaza conflict has sandwiched Biden between conservatives â both Christian and Jewish â who want stalwart support for Netanyahuâs government, and progressives. The matter is important to conservative Christians, among Trumpâs most supportive constituencies, who see the political state of Israel as the modern manifestation of Godâs chosen people, the Israelites of the Old Testament in the Christian Bible.
Bidenâs left flank, though, is dominated by progressives incensed by Israelâs retaliation in Gaza that has resulted in thousands of Palestinian deaths. The president has repeatedly been greeted by protesters throughout his spring travels, and activists have organized votes against Biden in many Democratic primaries, even as he coasts to renomination.
âThis is What Trump Does, Using Division and Hateâ
Team Biden spokesman said in response to Trumpâs remarks, âJewish Americans do not need to be âspoken toâ or threatened by Donald Trump.â
âThis is what Trump does, using division and hate as political weapons while seeking power for himself,â he added. âVoters of all stripes will reject his chaos, violence and unhinged threats once again in November.â
Obviously Trump believes he has a better approach to the Middle East conflict than the president, hence his remarks about Jewish voters needing their âheads checkedâ if they back Biden.
Donât expect Donald Trumpâs mind to change anytime soon. How all this will affect the November election, time will tell.
