Trump accuses Jewish Democrat voters of ‘great disloyalty’

President Donald Trump has said Jewish Americans who vote for the democratic party show either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.

The remark drew sharp criticism that Mr Trump had used an anti-semitic trope that accuses Jews of dual loyalty.

The remark followed attacks by Mr Trump on two democratic congresswomen.

The president has repeatedly accused democratic representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib of anti-semitism.

The Jewish democratic council of America said the president was trying to weaponize and politicise anti-semitism for political gain.
