Days after calling the Democratic Party 'anti-Jewish' and 'anti-Israel,' Axios reports that Trump told Republican donors in an off-the-record gathering that the Israeli public would widely support him

On Friday, following a House of Representatives vote condemning hatred of Jews, Muslims, and other religious groups, Donald Trump told reporters that the House vote was a “disgrace,” and went on to assert that “Democrats have become an anti-Israel party, the anti-Jewish party,” as The Inquisitr reported.
But at a private Republican National Committee fundraising event on Friday night, Trump not only repeated that remark, adding that he did not know how any Jewish person could vote Democratic, he also made a series of equally outrageous and potentially offensive remarks, including a joke about “blackface” that may have been a reference to the controversy surrounding Virginia’s democratic Governor Ralph Northam in early February.
After freshman Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s comments that pro-Israel activists were pressuring her to have “allegiance” to Israel, the president told Republican National Committee donors that “he didn’t understand how any Jew could vote for a Democrat these days,” according to the Axios news site.
Axios, citing three unnamed sources who heard Trump's comments, reported Sunday that the president made the statement while speaking to a group of RNC donors at Mar-a-Lago. The news outlet reported that security guards required attendees to place their cellphones in magnetized pouches to prevent possible leaks of Trump's speech.
According to Axios, Trump at the event described peering out the White House windows to observe Secret Service agents guarding the building, saying “They’re in the trees, on the lawn,” and adding, “they’re in blackface.” The site said that the “blackface” reference appeared to be a “joking” reference to masks worn by Secret Service agents at night. But because the agents were in “blackface” Trump said, “they have to take them away.”
Axios said that the quotes of Trump’s remarks were based on the recollections of sources who attended the Mar-a-Lago fundraiser. In addition to his claim that Democrats “hate Jewish people,” Trump also boasted that he would win an election for prime minister in Israel because, if he were to run, he would receive 98 percent support in voter opinion polls.
