Hey, remember when Donald Trump took to social media in October to unload on Jews, telling them to be more like evangelicals and start showing him some gratitude before it was “too late”? And how, just over a month later, he had dinner with one guy who’d been in the news for threatening?to go “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE” and another who’d denied that?the Holocaust had occurred? At the time, people were like, Wow, this is very antisemitic and extremely disturbing, because it was indeed both of those things. But the good news is that Trump has spent the last 10 months quietly reflecting on the inappropriateness of his words and actions, which have effectively given antisemites the greenlight to go after Jews. And he’s changed.

Just f--king with you, of course. Instead, on Sunday, Trump rang in Rosh Hashanah—i.e., the start of the Jewish High Holy Days—by attacking Jews. Specifically by posting on Truth Social: “Just a quick reminder for liberal Jews who voted to destroy America & Israel because you believed false narratives! Let’s hope you learned from your mistake & make better choices moving forward! Happy New Year!”

Yes, nothing says Have a great holiday and I’m NOT a total bigot like treating a religious minority like they’re a monolith, telling them they’re idiots whose naivete led to the destruction of two countries, and speaking to them like small children who need to be told to “make better choices.” Oh, and why not toss in a good antisemitic trope about dual loyalty as the icing on the cake?

Of course, no one who has been paying literally any attention whatsoever over the past several years should be surprised by any of this, as Trump’s…let’s just call it “take” on the Jews has been well established for some time now. As a reminder, this is a guy who:

• Tweeted?Hillary Clinton’s face?next to a Star of David?and the words “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever”?
• Closed his 2016 campaign with an ad that included the images of three Jewish people—George Soros,?Janet Yellen,?and?Lloyd Blankfein—飞丑颈濒别?warning?that a secretive “global power structure” was to blame for economic policies that have “robbed our working class“ and “stripped our country of its wealth”
• Waited to specifically condemn the neo-Nazi violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, and said?there were “very fine people on both sides” of a white supremacist rally during which marchers carried Nazi signs and chanted things like “Jews will not replace us”
• Called Jews who didn’t vote for him?dumb and/or traitors
• Declared?in a tweet that Jewish voters “don’t even know what they’re doing or saying anymore”
• Suggested?that Jews only care about money
• Baselessly suggested that Soros, a favorite bogeyman among white nationalists and neo-Nazis, was?funding?a migrant caravan
• Hosted a White House Hanukkah party that featured an evangelical pastor who once?said Jews were going to hell
• Told a room full of Jewish people that Jews are?“brutal killers” and “not nice people at all”
• Suggested?Jews control the media
• Said that Jews are “only in it for themselves,” following phone calls with Jewish lawmakers
• Reportedly wanted his military leaders to operate like “the German generals in World War II”
• Reportedly told his chief of staff that Adolf Hitler “did a lot of good things” and shouldn’t be judged by that one genocide
• Kept?a book of Hitler’s speeches next to his bed

And no, the fact that Trump has Jewish grandchildren, as his allies like to remind people, doesn’t absolve him of any of this!
