Loving Trump Hating Trump: A Jewish Community Divided Against Itself (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781734375909)

The Jewish community is experiencing an impassioned love-hate relationship with President Donald Trump and his policies. Question: Is POTUS 45 the Jewish community's Guardian Angel or its Angel of Death? Has he been sent by the Almighty to save Israeli Jews from an Iranian nuclear nightmare and American Jews from the perils of hyper-leftism, or has he risen to punish the Jews by stoking the flames of antisemitism that has often accompanied fervent nationalist revivals? Is he a powerful leader who bluntly "tells it like it is" or the biggest liar who ever occupied the presidency? Well, it REALLY depends on who you ask. The intensity and hardening of the pro-Trump and anti-Trump camps within the Jewish community has also created a level of inter-community anger and disdain that is unprecedented in recent times and deeply destructive. The Jewish community now finds itself at war with itself. There is a deep reservoir of fear and loathing by the Jewish Trumpers for the Jewish anti-Trumpers and vice versa. The result of this in-fighting is an American Jewish community that is substantially weakened and more vulnerable to its enemies, as well as diminished in its ability to work effectively towards its own collective success, the security of the State of Israel, and for the betterment of Jewish communities throughout the world. This text explores both sides of this ongoing battle with the hope of creating a modest bridge of understanding and cooperative co-existence between the anti-Trump and pro-Trump camps of the Jewish community. To that end, it does not support or disparage a political point of view regarding President Trump and his policies. But by methodically and dispassionately presenting the rationale and perspective of each of the different sides, the objective is to provide each side with the ability to see the opposing one as more than simply delusional, stupid or evil.
