If nothing else, Trump's scheduled address to AIPAC will be interesting.....

.....to see whether or not Trump is humanly possible of sounding halfway informed on positions of substantive policy (regardless of whether or not you agree with either Trump or AIPAC on that policy) or if it's just more goobldegook from Trump regarding his poll numbers and "I'm a great friend of the Jews" etc.

So far, all we've seen is his stump speeches and nothing else.

Sometimes I have it toasted with lox.
The Jewish people are just like me, great negotiators.
They can make a great deal.
They are so good with money.
Many of my Jew friends are bankers on Wall Street.
They look so cute in those little round hats they wear on their heads too.

It was Trump again in 1991 who trafficked in ugly racial and religious stereotypes when he whined that he didn't like Black guys counting his money. "The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day." As Trump said then, "laziness is a trait in blacks."
