Awkward: One Of My Biggest Donors Cares More About Israel Than US, Trump Says
Donald Trump, addressing the Israeli Knesset, suggested his major donor Miriam Adelson loves Israel more than the United States. He recounted asking her directly about her preference, to which she declined to answer. Trump credited the Adelsons for influencing his pro-Israel policies during his previous presidency. He stated the couple frequently visited the White House, often advocating for Israeli interests. Trump acknowledged Sheldon Adelson's financial support and influence on his decisions, particularly regarding the Golan Heights. He repeated similar sentiments made on the 2024 campaign trail. Ironically, this statement, if made by others, would be considered antisemitism under certain hate speech rules. Trump described how the Adelsons, after receiving favors, would immediately request more. The article includes snippets of social media posts reacting to Trump's comments. The piece highlights Trump's seemingly casual yet pointed remarks about Adelson's allegiances. The ZeroHedge Store provides some loadout ideas after a short segment of the article.
