Once upon a time, before he became Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance told his law school roommate he went “back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole…or that he’s America’s Hitler.” Obviously, the Ohio senator has since disavowed every negative thing he previously said about Trump. But he clearly shouldn’t have, particularly when it comes to the Hitler vibes, given all the wildly antisemitic remarks Trump has made on the campaign trail—including the comment he made last night re: whose fault it will be if he loses in November. Spoiler alert: It’s the Jews!

That’s right: At a campaign event on Thursday that was—wait for it—about denouncing antisemitism, the GOP nominee for president told the audience: “If I don’t win this election…the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss.” The ex-president baselessly claimed that Kamala Harris, who is married to a Jewish man, “hates Israel,” while he is “the best friend Jewish Americans have ever had in the White House.” He suggested that American Jews should be more grateful to him, saying, “With all I have done for Israel, I received only 24% of the Jewish vote…I really haven’t been treated very well, but that’s the story of my life.”

At another event the same day hosted by the Israeli American Council, Trump doubled down on blaming things on Jewish people, saying that if he loses the election to Harris, Israel will be destroyed and it’ll be the fault of Jews for “voting for the enemy.”

Blaming Jews for stuff was, of course, Adolf Hitler’s MO. The Nazi leader blamed German Jews for Germany’s defeat in World War I, claiming the tiny minority had “stabbed Germany in the back”—language that sounds not dissimilar to what Trump had to say yesterday, and not dissimilar to the things he’s said and done re: Jews for years now. As a reminder, those words and actions include but are not limited to:

Meanwhile, during his blame-the-Jews tour on Thursday, Trump had nothing to say about Mark Robinson, the GOP candidate for governor in North Carolina whom the ex-president endorsed and who CNN reported yesterday once referred to himself as a “black NAZI” in comments online, among other things. (Robinson has denied he wrote the comments.)

And then Trump goes on to complain that he always loses the Jewish vote in elections. Well, maybe he should start with a little introspection (not that he's ever done that in his life): Maybe Jewish voters don't like antisemitism and when you blame them for all your problems? That seems pretty reminiscent of another politician (who was once a failed artist).

Sounds like he got his events confused again, this one was supposed to be an appeal to jews for support. The anti-jewish, pro-nazi rally was scheduled for later.

Started with "Jews will not replace us" and a woman being hit by a car at Charlottesville and trump called those Nazis "fine people".

Now we are at the "blame the Jews if I lose" phase. I pray lives are spared.
