WASHINGTON, DC (AP) – Former President Donald Trump recently reissued his loyalty test to religious Americans, declaring that he can best protect their freedoms while preemptively blaming some if he loses the presidential election. He said Jews and Catholics can vote for him and ace the test, but those who don’t, in his words, “need their head examined.” If he’s defeated, Trump added, Jewish people would bear blame for that result.
Among the Jewish leaders appalled at Trump’s remarks was Rabbi Rick Jacobs, president of the Union for Reform Judaism. Jacobs said: “It puts a target on American Jews. … Stop.” Some absentee voting is already underway in Missouri for the November General Election.
