We should, among all priorities, not be silent, now more than at any time. Let’s not forget that President Trump closed his 2016 campaign with a final ad rife with anti-Semitic themes and imagery. Right out in the open.

1. I'm not sure

what the "anti-Semitic themes and imagery" are in that clip unless one makes the old anti-Semitic assumption that Jews are responsible for all things financial including the "neoliberal financialization" of the economy in the 1980s under Reagan/Republicans and Thatcher/Tories. That's what tRump is actually ranting about. Aside from that, tRump blames it on government and politicians when it's actually businessmen like him who are responsible for globalizing their operations, moving jobs, etc.; governments after Reagan didn't do much to rein it in quite possibly because by that time it was too late.

2. Yellen and Soros ... both Jews...

The anti-semites will pick that up easily. Dog whistles all over "control Wall Street"...
Gaslighting is what trump does best....."I never said anything about the Jews..."
But he did. Not to us, but to his cult followers.

In March of 2017, he said that attacks on Jews were false-flag operations....

"Donald Trump has suggested that Jewish people might be committing anti-Semitic hate crimes to make himself look bad.

After days in which he refused to comment on a spate of anti-Semitic attacks, Mr Trump broke his silence to repeat an neo-Nazi conspiracy theory that has claimed that the attacks are "false flags". Supporters of that belief – who include leader of the Ku Klux Klan, David Duke – believe that such attacks are being perpetrated by Jewish people in order to undermine the White House.
Pennsylvania's Attorney General, Josh Shapiro, said that he had spoken to the President about a wave of threats to Jewish community centres. And Mr Trump said that they had been designed to make "others look bad".
