donald trump claimed it is better for American Jews than Democrats, but according to a former senior Trump Organization executive, the former president had fun making Nazi jokes about his Jewish employees.
Former Trump Organization executive vice president Barbara Res counted MSNBC‘s Ali Velshi that Trump once made a joke about a German home manager the company had hired before turning to some Trump Organization executives who happened to be Jewish.
“He was bragging among the executives about how great the guy was and he was a real gentleman and so neat and clean and then he looked at some of our executives who happened to be Jewish and said, ‘Watch out for this guy, he kind of remembers the ovens,’ and then smiled,” said Res, who left her position in 1998 after alleging that Trump mistreated her and other employees.
The comment left the group stunned, according to Res.
“Everyone was shocked,” she said. “I can’t believe he said that. He was joking about Nazi ovens and eating people.”
Since then, Trump I tried to claim that American Jews who vote Democrat hate Israel and Judaism, saying he and the Republican Party were in a better position to end Israel’s war in Gaza.
