Iran wants to wipe Israel off the map. Trump stood up for Israel by removing from the JCPOA and put pressure on Iran. Why would American jews want to vilify a man who stands up for their race? I don't get it and nobody can ever give me a solid explanation.
Here is what some of the news stories or some of the various polls. Trump has hosted truly anti-Semitic figures such as Kanye West and Nick Fuentes, who denies the Holocaust.
“Planned Parenthood was made by Margaret Sanger, a known eugenics, with the KKK to control the Jew population. When I say Jew, I mean the 12 lost tribes of Judah, the blood of Christ, who the people known as the race Black really are. This is who our people are.” - Kanye West

I don't buy into the whole guilt by association thing. Hanging out with Kanye west once or twice does not in anyway detract from the fact that Trump was and is a staunch ally of Israel. He literally gave them back Jerusalem as their capital.

If only Israel was a US ally.

Holy hyperbole Batman.

Trump has love only for himself. I don't personally believe he is a dedicated antisemitic. But he is certainly no lover of Jewish people. He will take his action based on exactly what will benefit him the most in a moment.

That's why you can argue that he made policy decisions to help Jews and be confused when they donr pat his back.

its not JUST guilt by association.

And he's not a very trustworthy person.

Once again, American Jews are not the same as the state of Israel.

Um. Because genocide is wrong?
Then it is wrong for everyone, not just Jews.

Trump made things worse by rescinding the nuclear pact unilaterally. That pact was working to keep nuclear weapons out of Iran.

Again, race?

Too many Americans “support” Israel while blaming Jewish people for various issues. Too many evangelicals “support” Israel as fulfillment of their prophecies which is not the same as supporting Jewish people.

Uh...
Maybe, and I know this might sound crazy, it's because he's a terrible person.

WHAT??? Trump gave Jerusalem back to Israel as their capital???? This is such a ridiculously idiotic statement. He recognized that Jerusalem was the official capital, that's all. And it had pretty much nothing to do with Jews, but all to do with supporting his base of evangelical Christians who think that modern Israel is a fulfillment of various prophecies. The rest of Christianity objected to it.

Patriarch Theophilos III, the Greek Orthodox patriarchate, widely seen as the most senior Christian figure in Jerusalem, and a dozen other church leaders in the Holy Land sent a letter to Trump on Wednesday warning of “irreparable harm”. His move “will yield increased hatred, conflict, violence and suffering in Jerusalem and the Holy Land, moving us farther from the goal of unity and deeper toward destructive division”, they said. Church leaders will be anxious to protect Christian sites.​
On December 6, 2017, the primate of the Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem, Patriarch Theophilos III, widely regarded as the most senior Christian figure in Jerusalem, and twelve other church leaders in the Holy Land sent a letter to Trump warning that his move “w[ould] yield increased hatred, conflict, violence and suffering in Jerusalem and the Holy Land, moving us farther from the goal of unity and deeper toward destructive division”.[64] Apart from Theophilos III, the letter was signed by heads of Jerusalem's Syrian, Armenian, Ethiopioan and Coptic Orthodox patriarchates as well as the Roman Catholic Church's Apostolic Administrator for Jerusalem (the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem). It was also signed by the Franciscan Order, the Greek-Melkite-Catholic patriarchate, the Maronites, the Episcopal Church, the Armenian Catholic and Syrian Catholic churches and the Evangelical Lutherans.[65]

Trump continues to host anti-Semitic speakers as supporters.

I think I can see why you're so befuddled by American Jews not supporting Donald.

With their desire to usher in the End Times, I've often observed the many evangelicals want to love the Jewish people out of existence.

How is standing up against Iran's pogrom against Jewish people the world over supposed to make Trump a bad person in the eyes of the Jewish people? Why would it?

I’m pretty sure that it was David Ben Gurion who declared and the Knesset agreed that Jerusalem would be the capital. All President Trump did was to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Yes, it was. Donald rescinded it against our allies' wishes because his base wanted him to be tough.
