Trump slammed for suggesting Jews who vote for Biden in November 'have to have their head examined'
WASHINGTON, DC: Former President Donald Trump doubled down on his criticism against Jewish voters who support President Joe Biden in the 2024 election, suggesting they should "have to have their head examined," reported the New York Post.
The Republican presumptive nominee's latest rant against Democrat-leaning Jews of the US came during his interview with 'Kayal and Company' on Philadlephia's Talk Radio 1210 WPHT on Friday, May 10.
"If anybody that's Jewish votes for him or Democrats, they have to have their head examined. They are being treated so badly and have been for years," Trump claimed.
The Biden administration's latest threat to halt weapons shipment to Israel, if they attacked Rafah, triggered the ex-president to revamp his attacks.
Trump says Jews voting for Biden makes no sense
Speaking on the radio show, the real estate mogul criticized the Democrats for not working further on the Iran nuclear deal that the US withdrew from during his presidency in 2018.
"Don't forget the Iran nuclear deal — Israel begged them not to do that deal," Trump added. "I ended it. But they begged them. And unfortunately, the Democrats did nothing with it, after the election was rigged, and they did nothing about it. But we would've had that whole thing worked out."
"But it was, it is just amazing that a person who happens to be Jewish can be voting for this guy," the 45th president continued. "It doesn't make sense to me at all."
Trump, who often criticizes Biden-supporting Jewish voters, in another recent interview, argued that they should feel ashamed if they vote for the incumbent.
Biden, last week, for the first time, used his executive power to influence Israel's ongoing war on Gaza by withholding a supply of powerful 2000-pound bombs.
In the latest interview with CNN, he doubled down on his threat to pause arms shipment further if the Middle East ally conducts a full-scale invasion of Rafah, where more than a million Palestinian refugees sought shelter.
Furthermore, in March, he argued that any Jew voting for Democrats "hate their religion" and Israel.
Biden campaign spokesperson Charles Lutvak denounced Trump's criticism citing his past remarks about neo-Nazi marchers being "very fine people."
"Now, like a cuckoo clock of hate, he is popping up every month with the same patronizing antisemitic shtick and reminding Jewish voters that he has no respect for us," Lutvak added.
The spokesperson also emphasized that Biden would fight for the Jewish people instead of his GOP opponent, who disparages them and prioritizes his own interest.

Someone else argued, "Trump only supports Israel because to him, it's a photo opt," and an individual added, "Someone needs their head examined, and it ain't the Jewish people."
"I swear DT has no filter. He says whatever pops into his head and doesn't care about the consequences," said another outraged user.
