Trump supporters baffled as to why Trump would endorse Morgan Ortagus over Trump conservative Robby Starbuck.

Take a look at Morgan Ortagus qualifications (wikipedia):

  • Married Jonathan Weinberger
  • Converted to Judaism
  • Pledge allegiance to Israel ("Peace for Israel, one of our strongest allies in the world, is important for American national security, because we believe in a strong sovereign state of Israel...Anytime we can bring our friends and allies together, it is positive for the US.")
  • Close friend of U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, as well as Trump's son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner, and Assistant to the President Avi Berkowitz

Why would anyone be baffled by this endorsement?
