President Trump Weighs in On Rising Antisemitism in the US: ‘This is like Germany in 1938’

In a conversation on the Hugh Hewitte podcast Trump was bold in his defense of Israel and in his concern about resurgent antisemitism and likened the resurgence of antisemitism in America to “Germany in 1938.” Asked whether Vice President JD Vance’s post signaled a shift in his stance, Trump stood by his record as the most pro-Israel president. He also expressed disbelief that, by his account, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed drew more Jewish votes in Michigan than his Republican opponent. “I never thought” I’d see this, Trump said of the rise in antisemitism.

HH: All right, now let me talk about Israel with you, Mr. President. You, they’ve been a modern state since 1948. You are the most pro-Israel president we have ever had. Some worry that Vice-President Vance’s post means that your view, your view—Donald Trump’s view—of our ally has changed. Has it? Are you still the most pro-Israel president ever?

Trump: Well, I am. And I don’t understand a couple things. Like I wasn’t on the ballot, but still, if you look at El-Sayed in Michigan, he got more votes than the Republican candidate got by quite a bit from Jewish people. I can’t, it’s not even understandable….

HH: All right, so I am greatly alarmed, because antisemitism, as you just mentioned with El-Sayed, antisemitism was on the ballot all across the ballot, and it won. I’m not Jewish. You’re not Jewish. But antisemitism is a cancer that kills civilizations and countries.

Trump: Right.

HH: It’s a disease.

Trump: Yup.

HH: It kills Jews. It actually kills Jews, but it kills countries. It’s everywhere, and it’s spreading. It will actually face your grandchildren, because they’re Jewish. How alarmed are you about the rise of antisemitism in the United States? What can we do about it?

Trump: I’m amazed to see it. I never thought this, this is like Germany in 1938 or whatever. It’s like crazy what’s going on.
