US President Donald Trump shared praise on Twitter from conspiracy theorist and conservative personality Wayne Allyn Root, who claimed that Israeli Jews love the president “like he is the second coming.”
Early Wednesday, Trump tweeted: “Thank you to Wayne Allyn Root for the very nice words,” before sharing a quote from Root:
“President Trump is the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world, not just America, he is the best President for Israel in the history of the world … and the Jewish people in Israel love him like he’s the King of Israel. 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. It makes no sense! But that’s OK, if he keeps doing what he’s doing, he’s good for all Jews, Blacks, Gays, everyone. And importantly, he’s good for everyone in America who wants a job.”
