Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says that Jews or Israel supporters who vote for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and “her new friend” Tim Walz “should have [their] heads examined.”
Trump has said this several times about Jews who vote for Democratic candidates.
“She’s been very, very bad to Israel, and she’s been very bad to Jewish people,” Trump says at a press conference in Florida.
He reiterates his claim that October 7 wouldn’t have happened if he was president and that we’re currently on the verge of a third world war.
Trump also claims his support from Jewish voters are “way up.”
