Seth Klarman and Les Wexner signal that a hawkish pro-Israel agenda doesn’t justify the damage they feel Trump is doing to America and to its democratic institutions

 

updated ed note–The recent earthquake taking place on Wall Street involving the attempted ‘shorting’ of GameStop stock that was then turned on its head by what is now being described as a ‘populist revolt’ is in all likelihood an op that was run by Trump Inc, given that the principles who lost, and lost BIG TIME–were some of the same Hedge Fund managers who poured enormous $ resources into first trying to prevent DJT winning in 2016, then into his Impeachment and now, the theft of the 2020 election that has seen the Zionist puppet Biden installed.

ed note–the excuses which both give for their turning their financial guns against Trump, i.e. the ‘damage’ they feel he is doing to America and its ‘democratic institutions’–are just the typical business of deception that attends any and all Judaic maneuvers and mechanics. These 2 Jews, along with all their counterparts, don’t give a damn about America or her ‘democratic institutions’. They know the damage that they and their cousins have wrought on America’s well-being, from their control over the economy to Hollywood, AIPAC, 9/11, JFK, USS LIBERTY, the ‘war on terror’ and all the rest.

Their ‘turning’ on Trump is due entirely to the fact that by his brash and independent maneuvers–and in particular Jew-rusalem, his entente with Putin and the ‘ultimate peace deal’ which he intends to bring about–that thousands of years of meticulous planning is about to go up in smoke as did the Temple in Jew-rusalem on Tisha B’Av–the 9th day of the 11th month in the Hebrew calendar.

Keep in mind that–given as cooperatively as the Jews have worked with each other throughout history that if the decision on the part of Klarman and Wexner were in any way inimical to Netanyahu and to Israel’s well being that both would find themselves on the not-so-friendly-end of some Judaic revenge witnessed a few years back with the Bernie Madoff business. All the dirty doings that the 2 have been involved with for years would suddenly find itself the focus of evening news casts, complete with footage of FBI/IRS raids, and all Mueller’s legal maneuvers–now being used as the platform from which Trump’s enemies in the Judaic Deep State hope to utilize for his impeachment proceedings–would expand to include these 2 powerful machers in the same way as Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, has now been dragged into the net which Judea, Inc hopes to use in disposing of DJT, POTUS.

Again, all of this is more than just mere ‘elementary’. It is the proverbial no brainer, and so much so that one would assume it would somehow register itself like a light switch being turned on in the collective head of those making up the ‘Trump is owned by Djooz’ brigade within the 911 trooth muuvmnt, and the fact that it hasn’t speaks volumes about the utterly useless and impotent character of such a movement claiming to be the ‘cutting edge’ in terms of Gentile resistance.

Please note the following from the piece–

‘The switch by Seth Klarman and Les Wexner, coming the same week, is a big deal: More than any midterm election in recent memory, Nov. 6 may change the course of a presidency. If the US House of Representatives goes to the Democrats, Trump may face impeachment. If the House and Senate go, his agenda is officially dead.’

In other words, these 2 VERY pro-Israel Jews, according to our unesteemed Jewish writer, are providing the necessary funds and financial muscle needed in either impeaching Trump or in seeing his entire agenda destroyed.

So, the question is thus–Where are all the ‘Jooz who love Trump’ preventing this defection? Where is all the noise, the lever pulling, the arm twisting that is visible whenever Jewish interests are threatened, either by an individual or a change in policy?

Answer–they are all there standing not just BEHIND Klarman and Wexner, but alongside them. 

But, but, but…Trump’s daughter is Jooish…His son in law is Jooish…He put the pancake on his head when he went to Jew-rusalem…’

Yeah, yeah, we’ve heard it now about a million times already, and it obviously means nothing in explaining what is taking place before our very eyes right now.

 

Times of Israel

Buried deep in the latest Jewish Public Policy Institute report on the Israel-Diaspora relationship: President Donald Trump wants more credit for his pro-Israel policies.

“Israel and US Jewish organizations should sharpen their awareness of a trend of growing frustration within the Trump administration that the president’s pro-Israel moves (especially the transfer of the embassy to Jerusalem) are not sufficiently appreciated by large segments of the American Jewish community,” said the report, which was drafted by a group known for its ties to the elites in Israel and the United States.

It’s become the Trump anomaly: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the US-Israel relationship has never been so close. Trump has moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem, maintained levels of defense assistance to Israel while cutting spending elsewhere, pulled out of the Iran deal reviled by Netanyahu and thoroughly defunded the Palestinians.

The Jewish divide on these moves is on one hand not surprising: The majority of Jews typically vote Democratic, and beyond the 20 percent of mostly Orthodox and right-leaning Jews who vote Republican tend to poll well to the left of Netanyahu and his government. But the trend was thrown into sharp relief this week when two Jewish billionaires said they were switching from supporting Republicans to backing Democrats ahead of the midterm elections. Even a hawkish pro-Israel agenda, they seemed to signal, doesn’t justify the damage they feel Trump is doing to America and its democratic institutions.

The switch by Seth Klarman and Les Wexner, coming the same week, is a big deal: More than any midterm election in recent memory, Nov. 6 may change the course of a presidency. If the US House of Representatives goes to the Democrats, Trump may face impeachment. If the House and Senate go, his agenda is officially dead.

How significant are the switches? Here’s an examination according to how involved they are in pro-Israel policies, how Republican they are, and how far have they distanced themselves from Trump and his policies.

Klarman, 61, is a hedge fund manager based in Boston whose net worth has been put at $1.5 billion. His investment advice is considered so sound that “Margin of Safety,” an out-of-print book he wrote in 1991, goes for $950 on Amazon.

Klarman’s interest in Israel appears to be fairly recent — but very strong. Sparked by his concerns about terrorism following the 9/11 attacks in New York and Washington, DC, he visited the country and became convinced Israel was getting short shrift in the press. That led him to donate money to pro-Israel media monitoring groups like CAMERA and MEMRI, and culminated in 2012 with his founding of The Times of Israel online daily with former Jerusalem Post editor David Horovitz.

“As a longtime student of the history of anti-Semitism, I know that this blind hatred is never the fault of Jews,” he said at the time. “Moreover it is clear to me that anti-Zionism is simply the newest form of anti-Semitism. When the Jewish state is singled out above all others for criticism, such as it is at the United Nations, this is anti-Semitism.”

Publishing The Times of Israel represented a slight shift left — Horovitz, like Klarman, is critical of Israel’s settlement movement — but Klarman remains firmly in the pro-Israel mainstream. A Times of Israel gala in New York in 2015 highlighted “good news” stories out of the country.

Klarman never liked Trump: A longtime donor to Republicans, he split the difference in 2016, backing the Democrat Hillary Clinton for president while funding GOP congressional campaigns.

“His words and actions over the last several days are so shockingly unacceptable in our diverse and democratic society that it is simply unthinkable that Donald Trump could become our president,” Klarman said in August 2016. The trigger was Trump’s claims then that the election, which Clinton was favored to win, would be “rigged.”

Klarman was never a registered Republican, but he backed an array of other candidates for the GOP nomination and has backed GOP lawmakers.

No longer: The main item on the agenda is to thwart Trump, he said this weekend in a rare interview with Bari Weiss of The New York Times Op-Ed page. And he faulted Republican lawmakers for not standing up to the president.

“People should be asking themselves: Why are we writing checks to these same people who are cowards?” he said.

Klarman even had kind words for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York nominee for Congress who is a democratic socialist and has had sharp words for Israel.

“In a lot of ways I’m actually excited about somebody like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez coming along because it’s a way of younger people and people of color and people who are different finding their voice and being part of the process,” he said.

Leslie Wexner, 81, is a fashion mogul based in Columbus, Ohio. Until he quit the party, he was considered the richest Republican in his state with a fortune worth $4.7 billion.

Through the Wexner Foundation, Wexner has long supported a series of programs meant to develop pro-Israel leadership among teens, adults, volunteers and Jewish communal professionals. He is also a founding funder of Birthright, the program that pays for Israel tours for young Jews, and a major giver to Ohio’s Jewish federations.

Like Klarman, Wexner was never really enamored of Trump. He backed Trump’s fiercest rival in the 2016 GOP nomination stakes, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. His wife, Abigail, backed the equally anti-Trump Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Last year, after Trump equivocated about condemning a neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville, Virginia, Wexner told staffers at L Brands, which he heads, that he felt “dirty” and “ashamed” when thinking about the president.

But unlike Klarman, Wexner was always unmistakably Republican: He joined President George W. Bush on his 2008 visit to Israel marking the country’s 60th anniversary.

And he was harsh in explaining why he was cutting out of the party and becoming an Independent, speaking last week at an event on political civility in Columbus sponsored by the Columbus Partnership, a business and civics group he chairs. Like Klarman, he was fed up with Republicans for not standing up to Trump.

“I won’t support this nonsense in the Republican Party,” Wexner said. “I’ve been a Republican since college, joined the Young Republican Club at Ohio State.”

And like Klarman with Ocasio-Cortez, Wexner ventured into once unthinkable territory for a Republican, lavishing praise on former President Barack Obama.

“I was struck by the genuineness of the man; his candor, humility and empathy for others,” Wexner said of Obama, who had just met privately with the Columbus Partnership.

Much of the coverage of Klarman and Wexner’s defection has focused on their disaffection with Trump, but a few observers have said that both may be well aware of the way Trump’s Israel policies are dividing Jews.

“The subtext here is that both Wexner and Klarman have stellar records of support for transformative Israeli and Jewish communal initiatives,” tweeted Shalom Lipner, a former adviser to Netanyahu who is now with the Brookings Institution’s Center for Middle East Policy. “That they would break with the GOP over Trump speaks volumes about how they perceive his impact on both Israel and the Jewish community.”

By contrast, Matt Brooks of the Republican Jewish Coalition said that loyal Republicans ultimately will reward the administration for its support of Netanyahu.

“Very few are neutral on the Trump Administration,” Brooks told Haaretz. “As such, it’s not surprising that some GOP donors have decided not to give.

“However, we are also seeing many new donors and people significantly increasing their support to the GOP because of the strong pro-Israel actions of this president, including moving the embassy, ending the Iran deal and cutting off funding” for the Palestinians.

One thought on “Lest We Forget– 2 US billionaire Jews who love Israel but hate Trump”
  1. “Even a hawkish pro-Israel agenda, they [Klarman and Wexner] seemed to signal, doesn’t justify the damage they feel Trump is doing to America and its democratic institutions.”
    Same tedious old nonsense. Whensoever Jewes talks about something being ‘truly dangerous to democracy’, they mean ‘dangerous to Jewes’. And whensoever Jewes talk about making the world ‘safe for democracy’, they mean ‘safe for Jewes’. Simple as that.
    ‘Democracy’ coincides with the rise of ‘financial capitalism’ – aka state-backed usury – in the 18th century and, not so coincidentally, the ‘Age of Enlightenment’, the rise of the Bavarian ‘Illuminati’ and ‘Phree Masonry’. ‘Democracy’ has been the ruse by which Jeweish Money Power has finally managed to get, not just the European nations in its stranglehold, but the entire world.
    Just what these two uber-wealthy Jewes find so threatening to the Jeweish enterprise about Trump, God only knows. I am seriously of the opinion that they simply cannot stand his hair style. And why should they?!
    “Klarman’s interest in Israel appears to be fairly recent — but very strong. Sparked by his concerns about terrorism following the 9/11 attacks in New York and Washington, DC, he visited the country and became convinced Israel was getting short shrift in the press.”
    Short shrift in the press? What has this man been snorting? The press is OWNED by the Jewes. Why would they be giving themselves short shrift? Tosh.
    Perhaps it is Jeweish involvement in IXXI which makes Klarman nervous. Is he afeared that the Trumpeter will blow the lid? Why would he?
    “As a longtime student of the history of anti-Semitism, I know that this blind hatred is never the fault of Jews.”
    Standard Jeweish doctrine. Klarman must have inside knowledge of the Jeweish involvement in IXXI. But it matters not. They MUST stick to the program come hell or highwater. And they have the money to do so.
    Which again leads to the kernel of the issue … Jeweish control of the money supply. The only REAL threat Trump might pose is to nationalize the Fed, wipe the fraudulent ‘debt’, and take control of the money supply. The only way to head ‘em off at the pass. The only way to cut ‘em off at the knees.
