Don't assume from this that most American Jews support Trump, although the percentage may be higher for people on the spectrum. As this may surprise some non-Americans, I'll just say the reasons are somewhat complicated.

Don't assume from this that most American Jews support Trump, although the percentage may be higher for people on the spectrum. As this may surprise some non-Americans, I'll just say the reasons are somewhat complicated.

According to the Jewish Virtual Library in 2016 Clinton beat Trump 72 percent to 24 percent among Jewish voters. For the 2020 election they list Biden beating Trump 76 to 24 percent but note that “ There were no reliable polls immediately after the election. The usual sources — the National Election Pool and the Associated Press — did not post Jewish voting results. Partisan groups reported different results consistent with their support or opposition to Trump. The figure used here is from an American Jewish Committee poll take prior to the election. “Findings of the 2020 AJC Survey of American Jewish Opinion: Presidential Politics,” AJC, (October 19, 2020). Partisan polls came up with results that, predictably, reflected their biases. The left-wing J Street exit poll, for example, found that Jews favored Biden 77%-21% while a Republican Jewish Coalition poll showed Biden winning the Jewish vote by a narrower margin – 60.6%-30.5%.”

According to library “American Jews tend to favor Democratic candidates, with 71% of Jewish voters choosing Democratic candidates on average and 25% choosing Republicans since 1968. “

That tracks with my personal experience. Although, I also tend to have a very liberal social network to start with.

I prefer the US to be ruled by any Republic president any day because Democrat administrations were always suckers for Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood in the Middle east.

Since I am into filmmaking and a movies Hollywood has gone downhill in movie quality the last few years. Whenever I ask other filmmakers what happened, they say that it was because of Trump and ever since he was elected, Hollywood lost it's guts to take on many things risky or challenging anymore, because of the not wanting to possibly offend the social movement that took place after Trump's election.

Do you think that's true though, and Hollywood's prudishness is all because of Trump too, or is that a reach?

It is all a reach.  Movie quality has gone downhill over the last several decades because mainstream Hollywood producers do not want to risk losing money on inexperienced writers, directors, and producers, so they put out "safe" movies that are based on previous successes.

Obama got Bin Laden and Bush let his family escape without even interviewing them. Most likely because Bush's oil connections. Carter refused to return the Shah to Iran.

I was surprised at the creativity! I love it when Barry ( the hit man ) was going thru an existential crisis and asked his friend if he was evil. His friend replied, " I cannot believe you asked me that! I am your best friend and I know all your qualities. Of course you are EVIL! You are the most evil man I ever met!" :twisted:

If your point is that the most creative people have fled Hollywood for the freedom of cable, then you are correct.

Trump took some actions as President that could be interpreted as "kowtowing to Israel". Or do you not consider him to be a real Republican?

Good point.  I removed my cable all the way back to the pole about 15 years ago, and stream my videos on-line.

Donald Trump illustrates some of the traits that are going extinct in this world. Nope, I am not talking about his looks or style. lol

Former President Trump is a man who can stand upright and who commands respects.✊ Trump was one of the few standing up against that plandemic. Covid was sold as a very deadly virus but Trump knew it was a money racket for the elite few, with Billy the Gator in charge. Anyway… Trump .. this gotta be him or one of his associates, appointed as the next US President.
