Trump Says He's Banking On Jewish 'Miracle' To Help Him Win Election During White House Hanukkah Party

On Wednesday, President Trump held a largely maskless indoor Hanukkah Party at the White House. Hanukkah is a minor Jewish holiday celebrating the Maccabean revolt against Greek rule and their subsequent rededication of the Second Temple.

However, it has been folded into the larger American holiday season due to its proximity to Christmas. And so parties like these, where a non-Jewish president pays homage to the religious observances of their Jewish constituents, are not uncommon in modern history.


Much like his other recent opportunities to make public statements, President Trump used the White House Hanukkah Party to talk about the election, saying:

"The Jewish people have endured a lot over the centuries but always overcame the most impossible situations. Miracles are possible."
"Maybe we'll see one in the near future. Yes, we're not giving up, and we'll keep fighting to ensure four more years."

A video of his remarks can be seen in the Tweet below.

The President went on to assert:

"If people, if certain very important people, if they have wisdom and if they have courage, we are going to win this election."

Jewish Twitter had a field day.

Others were mortified by the flouting of COVID restrictions.

Others were appalled by his continued assault on the electoral results.

77% of Jewish voters voted for President-elect Biden.

So maybe next year's Hanukkah party will have a more festive mood.

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
