Trump says Black and Jewish voters cannot rationally support Democrats
President Trump stated Friday that it is "not possible, in a world of rationality" for Jewish or Black Americans to vote Democratic. When discussing streamer Hasan Piker, Trump said: "How a Jewish person could vote for a Democrat is not even, if you think of it, not even believable. And yet they will. It's amazing."
🧭 In Context
