On the 12th, U.S. President Trump said in an interview with The New York Times:
"My daughter is Jewish, and my three grandchildren are also Jewish. I am very proud of them. I am very proud of the entire family. I may be the least anti-Semitic person in the world."
Trump also stated that the Republican Party and the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement would not tolerate people holding anti-Semitic views. The report pointed out that this is the most direct public statement Trump has made on this issue so far.
The statement by Trump that he is "the least anti-Semitic person in the world" appeared in a public speech aimed at responding to external questions about whether he supports extreme right-wing or anti-Semitic views. He emphasized his government's policies supporting Israel, such as moving the American embassy to Jerusalem and promoting the Abraham Accords, as evidence of his pro-Jewish stance.
However, this statement is a personal opinion and not an objective verifiable fact. Some media and critics have pointed out that some of Trump's statements and policies have sparked controversies about fostering racism or far-right ideologies, making his statement controversial.
Some question whether, with the midterm elections approaching, Trump is unsure about the outcome, which makes him anxious. Behind his loud declaration of being "the least anti-Semitic," could there be an electoral strategy or a trade-off with pro-Israel interests?
