Awkward: One Of My Biggest Donors Cares More About Israel Than US, Trump Says

.

ER Editor: Trump is actually calling out these people as traitors, albeit in the most charming and yet howling sort of way. Another comm, we believe, to pay attention to. We actually wonder if she’s still around. Here’s another comm Trump made —

More on that ‘Central Casting’ from Trump

We invite readers to go searching for images of Trump with Miriam Adelson, getting presented with a medal. Trump has nothing short of a scowl on his face —

President Trump on Monday suggested that Miriam Adelson, one of his biggest donors during his 2024 campaign, “loves” Israel more than the United States, comments he made during an address to the Israeli Knesset in Jerusalem.

“I’m gonna get her in trouble with this one, but I actually asked her once, ‘So, Miriam, I know you love Israel. What do you love more? Israel. The United States or Israel?’ She refused to answer. That might mean Israel,” the president said.

Miriam’s late husband, Sheldon Adelson, was also a major contributor to Trump’s previous presidential campaigns, and Trump credited the couple for pro-Israel moves he made in his first administration, including recognizing the Israeli annexation of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. (ER: Damning with very faint praise.)

“Miriam and Sheldon would come into the office, they’d call me. I think they had more trips to the White House than anybody else I could think of. Look at her sitting there so innocently, she got $60 billion in the bank … and she loves Israel,” Trump said in his Knesset address, which Miriam attended.

“Her husband was a very aggressive man, but I loved him, very supportive of me. And he’d call up, ‘Can I come over and see you?’ I say, ‘Sheldon, I’m the president of the United States, it doesn’t work that way. He’d come in and do good, though. But they were very responsible for so much, including getting me thinking about Golan Heights,” Trump added.

Trump asked dual citizen Miriam Adelson, a billionaire running nasty ads against me in Kentucky, “what do you love more, the United States or Israel?” She refused to answer him. He says that might mean she loves Israel more.

The president made similar comments while on the campaign trail last year…

“Miriam and Sheldon would come into the White House, probably more than almost anybody outside of people that worked there. And as soon as I’d give them something, always for Israel, as soon as I’d give them something, they’d want something else.”

One irony of Trump’s strong insinuation today about Miriam Adelson — that she loves Israel more than the US — is a statement that is prohibited and subject to punishment as “anti-Semitism” under the expanded IHRA hate speech rules Trump forced American universities to adopt. https://t.co/HKUTmMhCTi pic.twitter.com/nmnyzVqjb7

“I’d say, ‘give me a couple of weeks, will you please,'” he said at the Israeli-American Council National Summit in September 2024.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
