On Wednesday, Donald Trump criticized Jewish voters for supporting President Joe Biden.
“You need to get your head checked,” he said.
Trump's comments are a direct mirror of President Joe Biden's famous line, “If it's hard to tell whether you support me or Trump, you're not black.”

Trump questions mental health of Jewish-American Biden voters
Ahead of a fundraiser in Atlanta, Trump continued to criticize the way Biden, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, is handling the Israel-Hamas war.
President Trump said, “Biden has completely lost control of the situation in Israel.”
He added, “Any Jewish person who votes Democratic or who votes for Biden should get their hair checked.”
“President Trump spoke after Biden last week warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that future U.S. support for Israel’s war in Gaza depends on rapid implementation of new measures to protect civilians and aid workers,” PBS reported. I did. According to Trump's interpretation, Biden has 'completely abandoned Israel'.
The story continued:
The Gaza conflict has left Biden caught between conservatives and liberals, both Christians and Jews who want firm support for Netanyahu's government. This issue is important to conservative Christians, who are among Trump's biggest supporters. They see the political state of Israel as a modern expression of God's chosen people, the Old Testament Israelites of the Christian Bible.
But Biden's left flank is dominated by progressives angered by Israeli retaliation in the Gaza Strip that has left thousands of Palestinians dead. The president has been repeatedly greeted by protesters throughout his spring tour, and activists have organized votes against Biden in many Democratic primaries even as he faces re-nomination.

'Trump uses division and hatred to do this'
A Biden team spokesperson responded to Trump’s remarks by saying, “Jewish Americans do not need to be ‘talked down’ or intimidated by Donald Trump.”
He added, “This is exactly how Trump seeks power, using division and hatred as political weapons.” “Voters of all stripes will once again reject his chaos, violence and wanton threats in November.”
Clearly Trump believes he has a better approach to the Middle East conflict than the president, hence his comments that Jewish voters need a “head check” if they support Biden.
Don't expect Donald Trump to change his mind anytime soon. Time will tell how all of this will affect the November election.
