Jewish Leader: Trump Out To 'Make America Hate Again'

Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said Donald Trump is “trying to make America hate again” (MAHA) after the former president admitted to having dinner with a prominent white supremacist days after announcing his 2024 presidential campaign, Josephine Harvey reported for HuffPost.

“For Donald Trump to dine with notorious white supremacists and unrepentant bigots, I think, at a minimum, it’s clarifying,” Greenblatt said on CNN.

“He’s trying to make America hate again and running arguably the most unapologetic white nationalist presidential campaign that we’ve ever seen.” Greenblatt’s MAHA tweak of Trump’s disastrous blurb in the 2020 elections immediately went viral.

Trump hosted a dinner on Tuesday at his Mar-a-Lago resort with white nationalist activist Nick Fuentes, who says a man having sex with a woman is gay and that Amendment 19, which American women the right to vote, must be scrapped, and Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, whose professional empire has been upended by a series of recent antisemitic tirades and subsequent allegations of workplace misconduct.

Amid furious backlash over the meeting, including from some Republicans, Trump has distanced himself from Ye and insisted he did not know who Fuentes was.

According to Trump, the dinner was supposed to be with Ye, who brought Fuentes as his guest. Greenblatt said it “makes no difference” that Trump claimed not to know Fuentes.

One person present at the dinner, Edwin Rios wrote for the Guardian on Nov. 26, said Trump was impressed by Fuentes.

“He was impressed with Nick and his knowledge of Trump World. Nick knew people and figures and speeches and rallies and what surrounded the Trump culture, particularly when it came to the base,” Karen Giorno, a former Trump aide and senior adviser, told The Washington Post.

“It’s demonstrably unpresidential when you can’t demonstrate a basic knowledge of people in public life,” he said, noting that in 2016, Trump claimed not to know “anything about” David Duke and refused to condemn the former KKK leader after getting his endorsement.

Ye, who has been accused by former employees of praising Adolf Hitler and Nazis in business meetings, posted several videos on Thursday confirming that Trump was “really impressed” with Fuentes. Sources also told The New York Times and Axios that Trump praised Fuentes at the dinner and at one point said, “he gets me.”
