Trump Vows To Be ‘Best Friend’ To Jewish Americans, As Allegations Of Ally’s Antisemitism Surface
Washington — Former President Donald Trump condemned antisemitism on Thursday, hours after an explosive CNN story revealed that one of his associates running for North Carolina governor made a series of racial and sexual remarks on a website, referring to himself as a “black NAZI.”
North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson pledged to remain in the race despite the report, and the Trump campaign appeared to distance itself from the candidate while still describing the battleground state as critical to regaining the White House. Trump has regularly expressed his support for Robinson, who has been regarded as a rising star in his party despite a history of provocative comments on race and abortion.
Trump made no mention of the charges during his Thursday speeches to a group of Jewish benefactors and the Israeli-American Council in Washington. His campaign stated the CNN story that did not identify Robinson, instead claiming that Trump “is focused on winning the White House and saving this country” and that North Carolina was a “vital part of that plan.”
Robinson’s reported remarks, including a 2012 statement in which he said he preferred Adolf Hitler to the leadership in Washington, contradicted Trump’s condemnations of antisemitism in Washington and his claim that Democratic nominee Kamala Harris sympathized with Israel’s enemies. The report might also jeopardize Trump’s prospects of winning North Carolina, a key battleground state, with Robinson already trailing his Democratic opponent in public polls.

“This narrative isn’t about the North Carolina governor’s campaign. “It’s about the presidential race,” said Paul Shumaker, a Republican pollster who previously worked for Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., warning that Trump may lose a state he won in 2016 and 2020.
“The question is going to be, does Mark Robinson cost Donald Trump the White House?” Shumaker added.
After the charges against Robinson surfaced, Ammar Moussa, a Harris campaign spokeswoman, uploaded a photo of Trump and the struggling candidate on social media. “Donald Trump has a Mark Robinson problem,” he stated in an email.
The North Carolina Republican Party issued a statement defending Robinson, stating that he “categorically denied the allegations made by CNN, but that won’t stop the Left from trying to demonise him via personal attacks.”
Trump has sought to make gains among Black voters, frequently aligning himself with Robinson on the campaign trail, which has increasingly carried him to North Carolina. At a demonstration in Greensboro, he dubbed Robinson “Martin Luther King on steroids” in reference to the civil rights leader’s speaking abilities.
Robinson has been campaigning with Trump as recently as last month, when he appeared with the Republican nominee at an event in Asheboro, North Carolina.
Recent polls of North Carolina voters show Trump and Harris in a tight contest. The same surveys show Democrat Josh Stein leading Robinson by about ten points.
Trump recaps his White House record to Jewish supporters.
Both Trump and Harris, the Democratic nominee, were making appearances designed to energise their core supporters, with Harris taking part in a webcast with Oprah Winfrey.
Trump arrived on Thursday alongside Miriam Adelson, the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks co-owner and widow of wealthy casino tycoon Sheldon Adelson.
“My promise to Jewish Americans is this: With your vote, I will be your defender, protector, and the best friend Jewish Americans have ever had in the White House,” Trump declared at a donor event in Washington themed “Fighting Anti-Semitism in America.”
“But, in all fairness, I already am,” Trump said.
Trump has also faced criticism for his association with antisemitic extremists such as far-right activist Nick Fuentes and rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. When former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke endorsed Trump in 2016, Trump told CNN that he knew “nothing about David Duke, I know nothing about white supremacists.”
However, during his four years in office, Trump accepted a number of policy changes long sought by Israel supporters, including transferring the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognising Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights.
In his remarks, Trump chastised Harris for the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict, as well as what he called antisemitic rallies on college campuses and elsewhere.
“Kamala Harris has accomplished nothing. “She has not lifted a single finger to protect you or your children,” Trump claimed. He also reiterated a talking point: Jewish voters who vote for Democrats “should have their heads examined.”
Several guests at the event stated they were unfamiliar with Robinson’s story or declined to discuss it. Rep. Virginia Foxx, a conservative North Carolina Republican who was asked about the CNN article beforehand, declined to take questions.
Later Thursday, Trump addressed at the Israeli-American Council National Summit to honour the victims of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, predicting a bleak future for the country if Harris is elected.

“Israel will not exist within two years if she becomes president,” he told the audience, adding that if he loses the presidential election to her on Nov. 5, “the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that.”
Liberals who want a ceasefire deny Harris their endorsement.
On Thursday, Harris received pressure from some members of her leftist constituency over the war. Leaders of the Democratic protest vote organisation “Uncommitted” announced that the group will not endorse Harris for president, but urged followers to vote against Trump. The group, which opposes the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict, has demanded an immediate cease-fire in Gaza and an end to US arms deliveries to Israel.
“Uncommitted” received hundreds of thousands of votes in this year’s Democratic primary, highlighting a schism within the party. The group has warned that some Democratic voters may stay home in November, particularly in Michigan.
Harris’ campaign did not directly respond to the group’s announcement, but did say in a statement that she will “continue working to bring the war in Gaza to an end in a way where Israel is secure, hostages are released, suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realise their right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination.”

Democrats Now Leaderless After Trump Presidential Win
Democrats spent billions of dollars with the legacy media to try and create fear among American voters that Donald Trump posed an imminent threat to democracy; in the end, voters didn’t care. They chose to believe their own eyes and not the rhetoric.
Following Kamala Harris’ decisive loss, the Democrats are now entering a second Trump presidency without a clear leader, a clear plan, or an accord on the reasons for their significant miscalculations in the 2024 election.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent and former Democratic primary candidate, had warned Harris before Election Day that she was focusing too much on flipping Republican votes and not enough on pocketbook issues. He issued a statement excoriating party leadership.
“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” he said. “First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”
Trump’s promises to impose tariffs on both allies and foes and his threats to American businesses contemplating the relocation of jobs offshore were alluring to union workers.
Alexandra Rojas, the executive director of the far-left Justice Democrats, told AP that the party’s leadership must “accept responsibility for that a second”Donald Trump presidency was once again feasible under their supervision.”
Rojas charged that the Democratic Party is los”ng legitimacy among the everyday people and marginalized communities, who are continuously used as stepping stones to win elections. She also acknowledged that “there are no easy answers for where we as a coun”ry and movement go from here.”
The data indicates that Democrats have” substantial work to do.
Faiz Shakir, the Democratic strategist who oversaw Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, is concerned that Sanders’s Democratic Party will fail to engage in the necessary introspection after this catastrophic defeat.
He asserted that “a healthy party is challenging itself to conduct”that type of autopsy and hear what we did wrong.” “I am not even aware that such a process will occur. He asks, “Will the Democratic Party’s well-paid consultant and big-money interParty learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?”
“Will they comprehend the political alienation and pain that tens of millions of Americans are currently experiencing?” Do they have any suggestions for how we can confront the Oligarchy, which is gaining economic and political influence at an accelerated pace? It is unlikely, he said.

Kamala Concession Speech Trends on Google
One day after former President Donald Trump’s historic re-election, Vice President Kamala Harris conceded the presidential race and vowed to maintain unity. Her concession speech trended on Google with over 5 million searches.
“I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign, but I do concede this election.” She stated, “In our nation, we owe loyalty not to a president or a party, but to the Constitution of the United States.”
Kamala Harris acknowledged that there was no viable strategy for obtaining the presidency even though her speech was not what she intended.
In the center of Washington, DC, Harris delivered a speech at her alma mater, Howard University. Harris expressed her gratitude to the hundreds of campaign workers and volunteers who worked assiduously on her campaign and to the tens of millions of voters who cast their votes for her.
Kamala Harris also stated that the country should unite for a peaceful power transfer despite the agony of losing.
She said, “We must acknowledge the outcomes of this election.” “I conversed with President-elect Trump earlier today and congratulated him on his victory.”
I also informed him that we would assist him and his team during his transition and participate in a peaceful transfer of power.
In the interim, Sen. Bernie Sanders issued a caustic statement regarding the presidential election results, accusing the Democratic Party of having “abandoned” working-class voters. It’s unsurprising that “a Democratic Party that has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.”
Sanders, who secured re-election last night, stated that the party’s white working-class voters were the first to quit and that it now appears that Latino and Black workers are following suit. “The American people are enraged and desire change despite the Democratic leadership’s defense of the status quo,” he stated. “And they’re right.”
Trump and Vance were also congratulated on their electoral victory by former President Obama, who ardently campaigned for Harris in the final stretch before Election Day. This was announced in a statement published today.
“This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the Republican ticket on a whole host of issues,” according to him. “But living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won’t always win out, and being willing to accept the peaceful transfer of power.”

Despite All the Odds Donald Trump Elected 47th President
On Wednesday, Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States, a remarkable turnaround for a former president who refused to concede defeat four years ago.
Trump achieved the 270 electoral votes required to secure the presidency with a victory in Wisconsin. On Wednesday afternoon, he emerged victorious in Michigan, conquering the “blue wall” with Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday afternoon, Vice President Kamala Harris contacted President-Elect Trump to congratulate her and acknowledge his victory in the election. Shortly thereafter, Vice President Biden conversed with Trump to extend his congratulations and invitation to the White House.
Foreign leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also phoned Trump.
“I would like to express my gratitude to the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected as your 47th and 45th president,” Trump addressed a crowd of enthusiastic supporters in Florida before officially confirming their victory.
“Today, you demonstrated unprecedented attendance to secure a victory, and we have endured an immense amount of hardship together,” Trump said. This was truly exceptional, and we will repay you,” he added.
Upon his return to office, Trump will collaborate with a Senate that is now under Republican control, while the House’s governance remains uncertain.
Elon Musk’s Tesla, banks, cryptocurrencies, and the U.S. stock market all surged Wednesday as investors anticipated a smooth election and Trump’s return to the White House.
Trump has pledged to implement an agenda that prioritizes the substantial revamping of the federal government during his second term.
When Trump assumes office on January 20, he will face various challenges, such as global crises testing America’s influence abroad and heightened political polarization.
Trump has pledged to revolutionize nearly every facet of the American government. This encompasses the intention to initiate the most extensive deportation operation in the nation’s history, once more pursue a zero-sum approach to foreign policy, and increase the use of tariffs.
Upon his arrival in Washington in 2017, Trump was unfamiliar with the mechanisms of federal authority. Congress, the judiciary, and senior staff members who acted as guardrails impeded his agenda.
This time, Trump has declared that he will surround himself with allies who will execute his agenda without question and arrive with hundreds of proposed executive orders, legislative proposals, and in-depth policy papers.
