President Trump on Wednesday tweeted a fawning quote from a non-Jewish conservative radio host who described Trump as the “King of Israel” and who said, without evidence, that Israeli Jews “love him like he is the second coming of God.”
Trump’s tweets cited Wayne Allyn Root, who described himself in a 2016 Townhall column as a “Jew turned evangelical Christian” and has promoted several conspiracy theories in the past, including that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States and that he is gay.
“The Jewish people in Israel love him like he’s the King of Israel,” Trump quoted Root as saying.
“They love him like he is the second coming of God ... But American Jews don’t know him or like him.
They don’t even know what they’re doing or saying anymore.”
Trump’s tweets made “King of Israel” the leading trending topic of the day on Twitter, generating many baffled and outraged responses.
Later Wednesday, Trump said “I am the chosen one” to fix the U.S. trade imbalance with China, as he looked to the sky.
In the Bible, Jewish leaders call Jesus the “king of Israel” in a mocking way when he was put on the cross, according to Matthew 27:42: “He’s the king of Israel!
Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.”
