To the editor: Your article, “Trump vows to be ‘best friend’ to Jewish Americans, as allegations of ally’s antisemitism surface,” actually combines two tales into one. It stories on North Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson and former President Trump’s look at a donor occasion.
The article ends with this sentence: “He added that if he loses the election to her on Nov. 5, ‘the Jewish individuals would actually have rather a lot to do with that.’”
How is that not antisemitism? Trump is continually seeking to blame anybody however himself for his shortcomings and failures. He has contributed a lot to the rise of hate speech, xenophobia and antisemitism.
American Jews are American first, and most will vote for what’s greatest for the U.S. — and positively that’s not Trump.

To the editor: Trump says that if he loses this election, it’s partly due to the Jews.
It’s scary to assume what his rhetoric will unleash. He’s giving his ardent followers yet one more excuse for what could also be his failures as a candidate. His phrases have the potential to unleash the worst assault on Jews conceivable.
Is Trump an antisemite, or is he simply completely unaware of the hatred he’s unleashing?
