To the editor: Her article, “Trump vows to be ‘best friend’ to American Jews as accusations of anti-Semitism emerge from allies,” actually combines two stories into one. It reports on Republican candidate for North Carolina governor Mark Robinson and former President Trump’s appearance at a donor event.
The article ends with this sentence: “He added that if he loses the election to her on November 5, ‘the Jewish people will really have a lot to do with it.’”
How is that not anti-Semitism? Trump constantly seeks to blame anyone but himself for his shortcomings and failures. He has contributed greatly to the rise of hate speech, xenophobia and anti-Semitism.
American Jews are Americans first and foremost, and most will vote for what is best for the country, and that is certainly not Trump.

To the editor: Trump says that if he loses this election it will be partly because of the Jews.
It is scary to think what his rhetoric could unleash. He is giving his fervent supporters another excuse for what could be his failures as a candidate. His words have the potential to unleash the worst attack on Jews imaginable.
Is Trump an anti-Semite or is he simply completely unaware of the hatred he is unleashing?
