On Monday, former President Donald Trump was interviewed on Sid Rosenberg’s New York City radio show, where the conversation took a troubling turn. During the segment, Trump, known for his controversial statements, endorsed derogatory comments made by Rosenberg about Doug Emhoff, Kamala Harris’s husband.
The conversation began with Trump criticizing Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats, describing them as “absolute fools” and suggesting that their support is misguided.
“But if you are Jewish, regardless of Israel, if you’re Jewish, if you vote for a Democrat, you’re a fool, an absolute fool. They have let Jewish people down since Obama at a level that nobody could believe possible. You know, 15 years ago, the strongest lobby in all of Washington was Israel. It was by far the strongest. Nobody would say anything bad about Israel. Today, it’s like nobody says anything good except Republicans, by the way. Nobody says anything good about it. So is a hell of a, it’s a hell of a change. I assume you know exactly what I’m saying. Oh, I know 15 years ago you couldn’t say a bad thing. Now you’d be out of office. Yeah. And today it’s almost like. I mean, Schumer has become a Palestinian. Chuck Schumer is officially now a Palestinian,” Trump ranted.
Rosenberg, in response, launched into a vehement tirade against Emhoff, labeling him as a “crappy Jew” and a “horrible Jew.”
“It’s funny, but it’s true. It said he is. He is. And they tell me that they saw this Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, Mr. President is Jewish. He’s Jewish like Bernie Sanders is Jewish. Are you kidding me? He’s a crappy Jew,” Rosenberg declared.
“Yeah,” Trump agreed.
“He’s a horrible Jew,” Rosenberg insisted as Trump said, “Yeah.”
Trump’s criticism of Jewish voters and his alignment with Rosenberg’s offensive language highlight a pattern of inflammatory rhetoric that may alienate key voter bases. His approval of Rosenberg’s derogatory remarks could overshadow his campaign and reinforce perceptions of intolerance.
The incident underscores a broader issue within Trump’s campaign—his tendency to align himself with controversial figures and statements that risk further damaging his public image. His endorsement of such divisive commentary could prove to be a significant liability in his pursuit of the presidency.
