Donald Trump and antisemitism

Trump states in the White House on August 20, 2019, "I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty."

Donald Trump, the president of the United States from 2017 to 2021 and since 2025, has a history of speech and actions that have been viewed by scholars, Jewish organizations, and the public as antisemitic or fostering a political climate that is hospitable to antisemites. President Trump has also been an outspoken critic of pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel sentiment in the United States, including on college campuses, which he characterizes as antisemitic, and has signed two executive orders to counter antisemitism and anti-Zionism. Critics have alleged that President Trump has views that are simultaneously pro-Israel and antisemitic.[1] Opinion polls have found that a slight majority of American Jews regard Trump as antisemitic and a large majority disapprove of his antisemitism policies.[2][3]
