Jewish groups condemned President Trump’s remarks during a speech at the Israeli American Council’s 2019 national summit, calling them “deeply offensive” and “vile.” Trump told attendees at the summit in Hollywood, Florida, “A lot of you are in the real estate business, because I know you very well. You’re brutal killers. Not nice people at all, but you have to vote for me you have no choice,” he said. Jewish Democratic Council of America Executive Director Halie Soifer said in a statement on Sunday that Trump used “anti-Semitic stereotypes to characterize Jews as driven by money and insufficiently loyal to Israel.” Jewish advocacy group J Street tweeted that the president is “incapable of addressing Jewish audiences without dipping into the deep well of anti-Semitic tropes that shape his worldview.”

The ballroom address, coupled with a private speech to GOP activists a few miles away, were designed to buttress his support in Florida, highlight his popularity among conservative Jewish voters and pay homage to Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino magnate and megadonor to Trump. The president regularly mentioned Adelson throughout his remarks. “How did that happen, Sheldon?” Trump said at one point, with Adelson offstage. Adelson is a regular adviser to the president and a major supporter of the GOP.

The president’s approval rating is 29 percent among Jewish voters nationwide, according to a Gallup survey from the summer, but was far higher in the room, where he was regularly interrupted by chants of, “Four more years.”
