Trump retweeted a comment from Wayne Allyn Root today: “President Trump is the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world, not just America, he is the best President for Israel in the history of the world . . . and the Jewish people in Israel love him like he’s the King of Israel. They love him like he is the second coming of God.” Trump commented: “Wow!” link Of course, Trump also called himself The Chosen One today, and it's been reported he wanted to award himself the Medal of Honor.
Well, I'm sure Trump really liked being told he's adored as a King somewhere, if not here, and no doubt he thinks he's god-like. But he should take this all with a grain of salt. For one thing, Jews don't believe in a "second coming" although Root can be forgiven for making that mistake because he's described himself as a "Jew turned Evangelical Christian" in June 2016 (though, miraculously, in November 2-16he was back to being Jewish--go figure). He also has some weird idea, according to his Wikipedia entry:
"Root was a leading proponent of the conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States. At one point, Root falsely claimed that Obama was not a student at Columbia University; at another point, in an interview with Sean Hannity, Root said that he believed that Obama was a 'foreign exchange student' at Columbia. Root has described Obama as a 'Marxist, anti-American, anti-Israel, globalist, middle class-hating, Muslim sympathizer'. He also claimed that Obama was gay, called him 'Bathhouse Barry' and said that he had info from Obama's 'friends in Chicago' about Obama's 'sordid past'. He has described Obama as a 'Manchurian candidate', possibly hired by the Bilderberg Group to destroy the United States and 'kill all of us'.
"He promoted conspiracy theories around the murder of Seth Rich, and at various times suggested that Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Hillary Clinton, Donna Brazile, Bill Clinton, Eric Schneiderman and John Podesta were involved in the murder." This is the most reprehensible, because nut cases like Root caused Rich's family continuing pain and anguish for no reason other than to make pointless political attacks. Just needed to get that off my chest.
"During the white supremacist Unite the Right rally, Root falsely claimed that the white supremacist James Alex Fields Jr. who killed Heather Heyer was 'such B.S. Probably paid actors & infiltrators hired by Soros. No conservative I’ve ever met commits violence. EVER.'
"Root tweeted in the aftermath of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting: 'This is a real thing. Clearly Coordinated Muslim Terror attack. PRAY for our Vegas police. PRAY for victims. VERY bad. Awful.' It was later confirmed that the shooter was 64-year-old Mesquite, Nevada, resident Stephen Paddock. Root then defended his original claim by tweeting: 'Terrible day. Liberal fools criticizing me 4 reporting what I hear DIRECT from police & credible news sources. I report it as I hear it.' [ This also is called rumor-mongering.]
"Root argued that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election is motivated by 'penis envy', because 'Mueller’s is smaller than Trump’s'." This raises the question: just how could he know that? Has he been spying in locker rooms? Or is he just an over-aged rent-boy?
