Trump hosted hundreds of attendees at the White House for the party, with a guest list that had been narrowed from previous administrations.......................

Congressional Democrats, as well as Jewish leaders who have been critical of Trump, were excluded from receiving invitations this year, The New York Times reported.

Meanwhile, the two Jewish Republican members of Congress, Reps. Lee Zeldin (N.Y.) and David Kustoff (Tenn.), were attending the party, their offices confirmed to the Times.
............................
In his speech to attendees at the White House, Trump said he was thinking about "what's going on" in Jerusalem.

“Hanukkah is a time for Jewish families around the world to celebrate the miracles of the past and the promises of the future,” Trump said. “We are proud to stand with the people of Israel and renew our enduring bond.”

"And right now I’m thinking about what’s going on and the love that's all over Israel and all about Jerusalem," he added.

Geeze, how petty can Trump get. Shameful.



................Congressional Jewish Democrats, however, blasted Trump for turning the holiday festivities into a "partisan" event....

1. He is truly a piece of garbage

2. I'm pretty sure Dem's didn't mine, they didn't miss anything

3. I would agree - not to mention, it spares them the dilemma of whether to go

and whether to be props for him when they might have many disagreements with him - even on Israel.

10. "Okay, everyone put on your official MAGA yarmulke!"

"We're getting ready to spin the dreidels! Ivanka made them out of clay she brought home from the West Bank and Swarovski crystals direct from Austria!"

[Kber]

4. This makes me think better of those not invited

And worse of those who were.

5. We knew he is petty and vindictive

so this isn't surprising. He's president* only for his ignorant base. He thinks he's made all the Jews happy; he doesn't know that Jews aren't a monolithic demographic. Quite a few Jews disagree with his Jerusalem stunt.

7. His Jerusalem stunt

Will end up having many people killed.

8. No surprise there.

I only surprised by those who can't understand he is an anti-Semite. Then again, given a few engage in anti-Semitism themselves, it isn't surprising they wouldn't want to call his behavior "anti-Semitic" because it is similar to their own.

11. He can't be an anti-Semite. Some of his best co-conspirators are Jewish. nt

9. Trump is an ass

[GoCubsGo]

12. I'm sure he can get A LOT more petty.

There is no bottom to the depths of his assholery.
