Donald Trump has once again said the quiet part out loud – this time on his support for Israel:
Speaking in Israel, Trump suggests he moved the embassy to Jerusalem as a promise to the Adelsons, who he says have paid more visits to the White House than anyone he can think of.
He then says he asked Miriam if she loves Israel or America more and she refused to answer. Insane pic.twitter.com/jg9VXciRgg

Has there ever been a conman this honest?
The most bought man in history
In this latest shocker of a video, Trump says:
every president for decades said, “We’re going to do it.” The difference is I kept my promise and officially recognised the capital of Israel and moved the American embassy to Jerusalem. Isn’t that right, Miriam?
Look at Miriam. She’s back there. Stand up, Miriam. Stand up.
Who is Miriam Adelson, you might ask, and who was her husband Sheldon Adelson? According to Al Jazeera:
The Adelsons have long had significant influence among US conservatives.
As committed Zionists and with links to right-wing figures and issues in the US, the Adelsons became Republican mega-donors in the 2010s, giving more than $600m to support Trump’s three presidential campaigns and to back other Republican candidates since 2015.
They added:
At a September campaign event, Adelson told Jewish voters they have a “sacred duty” to support Trump, “in gratitude for everything he has done and trust in everything he will yet do”.
She also backed last year’s harsh crackdown on pro-Palestine student demonstrators, dismissing the protests in Forbes Israel as “ghastly gatherings of radical Muslim and Black Lives Matter activists, ultra-progressives, and career agitators — nothing short of street parties”.
In the video, Trump continued:
Miriam and Sheldon would come into the office. They’d call me. I think they had more trips to the White House than anybody else I can think of. Look at her sitting there so innocently. She’s got $60 billion in the bank. $60 billion. And she loves, and she loves – I think she’s saying no more.
It’s understandable why she’d say this; usually the guy you pay to do your bidding is smart enough to understand you’re also paying him to never admit that.
Trump continued:
And she loves Israel… and they would come in, and her husband was a very aggressive man, but I loved him. He was very aggressive, very supportive of me. And he’d call up, “Can I come over and see you?” I’d say, “Sheldon, I’m the President of the United States. It doesn’t work that way.”
It certainly shouldn’t work that way, but then Trump says:
He’d come in.
He follows this with the sort of unintelligible noise president Joe Biden used to make.
Getting back to the English language, he went on to say:
I’m going to get her in trouble with this, but I actually asked her once, I said, “So Miriam, I know you love Israel. What do you love more, the United States or Israel?” She refused to answer. That means, that might mean Israel, I must say.
In response, the sound of nervous clapping.
And this was all in the Israeli parliament by the way.
Response
As you can imagine, people had some interesting reactions to all this:
One thing I really like about Trump is that he regularly just spills the beans on how US policy actually works.

When ever I hear Trump flaunt how much he does the bidding of the Israel First oligarchs who fund his campaign, I think of all the time and energy wasted by Democratic Party leaders and media stenographers on their pet conspiracy theory that Trump is secretly compromised/funded by the Kremlin and Russian oligarchs.
Why did every Russiagate cult member chase that mythical “foreign influence” over Trump and ignore this real one?
Asa Winstanley suggested Adelson looked “uncomfortable” (she certainly looked like something):
Trump lauded his major campaign donor, billionaire Israel lobbyist Miriam Adelson in the Knesset:
He boasted of having moved the US embassy to Jerusalem— “Isn’t that right Miriam?”

As many pointed out, Trump’s statement showed he’s basically just openly anti-Semitic, and his Zionist donors simply do not care:
One irony of Trump’s strong insinuation today about Miriam Adelson — that she loves Israel more than the US — is a statement that is prohibited and subject to punishment as “anti-Semitism” under the expanded IHRA hate speech rules Trump forced American universities to adopt. https://t.co/HKUTmMhCTi pic.twitter.com/nmnyzVqjb7

Unprecedented
Responding to another recent video of Trump, Ryan Grim said “there’s never been anybody like this guy“. Unfortunately, having the personality of a sitcom alien who’s pretending to be human isn’t a positive when it comes to leading a country.
On the plus side, he is making it impossible for the establishment to pretend it’s anything other than a front for oligarchy.
