JEWISH HUMOR AS THE WAY TO UNDERSTAND DONALD TRUMP
For four years, polling has documented that the president’s strongest support demographic is America’s Orthodox Jews.
The support runs between 70 percent in radical Los Angeles to 90 percent most everywhere else. This has been documented here and here and here and here and here.
Although much of that support stems from a deep affinity with his stands on the whole gamut of traditional American cultural and social issues, an underestimated factor is that community’s natural acquaintance with Borscht Belt humor. Those who “get” that humor know precisely how to understand Trump, what to take seriously, what to brush off, and what deeper messages to take away from his speeches and tweets.
Those who do not get the style and nuance end up completely misunderstanding him and then attacking him for communicating thoughts he never contemplated. Like the Corrupt Journalist Corps.
