Why is Trump such a big supporter of Israel? This is a legitimate question, considering everything Trump has done for Israel.
Let's take a quick look at the relationship between Trump and the Jews:
Roy Cohn, who was a homosexual Jew, was Trump's fixer, lawyer, and mentor for 13 years in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1973, Cohn helped Trump countersue the U.S. government for $100 million (equivalent to $686 million in 2023) over its charges that Trump's properties had racial discriminatory practices. Trump's counterclaims were dismissed, and the government's case was settled with the Trumps signing a consent decree agreeing to desegregate. Helping Trump projects, Cohn was a consigliere whose Mafia connections controlled construction unions. Cohn introduced political consultant Roger Stone to Trump, who enlisted Stone's services to deal with the federal government. Between 1991 and 2009, he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for six of his businesses: the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, the casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and the Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts company.
Jeffery Epstein, who was a Jewish child sex offender, was a very close friend of Trump. Trump said about Epstein: “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.” And Epstein said about Trump: “I was Trump's closest friend for 10 years.”
Ivanka, Trump's daughter, converted to Judaism in July 2009 and married Jared Kushner in October of the same year. Trump said about it: “I have a Jewish daughter. This wasn’t in the plan but I’m very glad it happened. We love Israel. We will fight for Israel 100 percent, 1,000 percent. It will be there forever.”
Jared Kushner and Stephen Miller, both Jewish, are President Trump's senior advisors. In January 2007, Kushner made the most expensive purchase of a single real estate property in US history, buying the 41-story 666 Fifth Avenue office building in New York City for 1.8 billion US dollars.
Miriam Adelson, a Jewish woman, and Elon Musk were Trump's biggest donors in both of his election campaigns. Musk said: “I grew up around a lot of Jewish people. I went to a Hebrew preschool. My name is very Jewish…super Jewish. I went to Israel when I was 13. Most of my friends are Jewish. I’m Jew-ish. Aspirationally Jewish.”
