Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has been curiously quiet about the events unfolding at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Even when Michelle and Barack Obama were taking him apart on Tuesday night, Trump wasn’t airing the usual real-time complaints on his Truth Social platform.
But he did feel inspired to give his thumbs a workout on Wednesday night with an antisemitic attack on Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro following Shapiro's relatively brief speech at the convention.
Shapiro’s speech focused on “real freedom.” He talked about the necessity of funding teachers, fostering safe communities, and enabling Americans to make their own choices about their bodies, their lives, their relationships, and their children. But other than dismissing the speech as “bad” and “badly delivered,” nothing about the content of Shapiro’s speech made it into Trump’s post.
Trump was just there to declare Shapiro a bad Jew.
