Donald Trump and antisemitism




45th and 47th President of the United States








Seal of the President of the United States

Donald Trump, the 45th and 47th president of the United States, has a history of speech and actions that have been viewed by scholars, Jewish organizations, and the public as antisemitic or fostering a political climate that is hospitable to antisemites. Trump has also been an outspoken critic of pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel sentiment in the United States, including on college campuses, which he characterizes as antisemitic, and has signed two executive orders to counter antisemitism and anti-Zionism. Critics have alleged that Trump has views that are simultaneously pro-Israel and antisemitic. Opinion polls of American Jews have found that a slight majority regard Trump as antisemitic and a large majority disapprove of his antisemitism policies.
