Former President Donald Trump believes that Kamala Harris would be the least supportive American president of the Jewish State in Israel's 76-year history. In an interview with Hugh Hewitt, Trump highlighted three key exchanges that he believes demonstrate Harris's lack of support for Israel.
In an interview with Hugh Hewitt on the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 massacre and mass kidnapping in Israel, former President Donald Trump expressed his concerns about Kamala Harris's stance on Israel. Trump believes that Harris would be the least supportive American president of the Jewish State in its 76-year history.
Trump cited three key exchanges during the interview to support his claim:
Trump and Hewitt: Kamala Harris Unlikely to Be Supportive of Israel
HH: Now Mr. President, when we spoke in April, you said to me that Israel needed to win and win quickly. They are winning, but they’re still fighting, and they’re now fighting in Lebanon. Do you think Biden and Harris have been holding back Israel from winning?
DT: I do. I think everything they do is the opposite. In particular, him. Now she’s a dumber person than him, but he has the worst foreign policy of anybody in history, probably.
Trump and Hewitt: Kamala Harris Unlikely to Be Supportive of Israel
Trump believes that Harris's lack of experience and understanding of foreign policy would make her a poor advocate for Israel.
HH: If Israel hits [Iran’s] nuclear sites, will you applaud?
Trump and Hewitt: Kamala Harris Unlikely to Be Supportive of Israel
DT: Yeah. I dealt with Kim Jong-un. And he has nuclear weapons. And you tend to speak a little bit differently when they have nuclear weapons.
Trump's willingness to support Israel's military actions against Iran, even if it meant potentially provoking a wider conflict, demonstrates his strong commitment to Israel's security.
HH: Let me turn to antisemitism in the United States. Your daughter is Jewish. Some of your grandchildren are Jewish. Your son-in-law is Jewish. Jewish students are not safe on many American campuses. Your alma mater, my alma mater, Biden and Harris have ignored this. I mean, they really have ignored it. If you’re president, will you send the DOJ to those campuses, the office of Civil Rights from the Department of Education to enforce the law?
DT: 100%. I mean, the law is being broken. 100%. You wouldn’t think you’d even have this. Did you ever think two years ago, three years ago, that you’d ever have this discussion?
HH: No, I didn’t.
DT: I’m unbelievable what’s happening. And when you see these riots, and you see a lot of people, too. But you know, a lot of the people in that, a lot of those people are Jewish people. You know that. They’re Jewish kids.
Trump's commitment to combating antisemitism and his belief that it is a growing problem on American campuses further highlights his support for the Jewish community and Jewish students in particular.
In contrast to Harris, Trump has a long history of supporting Israel. He recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital and moved the U.S. embassy there, a symbolically significant move that previous presidents had avoided. He also withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal, a move that was seen as a major victory for Israel.
In conclusion, Trump believes that Kamala Harris would be the least supportive American president of Israel in its history, citing her lack of foreign policy experience, her unwillingness to take a strong stance against Iran, and her indifference to antisemitism on American campuses. Trump's own record of support for Israel stands in stark contrast to Harris's perceived lack of support.
