Again, I believe Trump has earned the benefit of the doubt on certain public statements and actions as being tactical in nature, and not necessarily being reflective of his true feelings or plans behind the scenes. I don’t know enough about “zionists” or “zionism” personally to weigh in on whether support for it/them is truly a bad thing or not. The Jews are a tricky topic for me, as it’s clear they’ve been infiltrated by Satanists, and yet, I highly doubt they’re all Satanists.

Mormons actually provide a decent parallel of why this is so tricky. I was raised Mormon/LDS. The LDS church is the largest offshoot from the original church founded by Joseph Smith. When Smith died, several people believed they should succeed him, and all seemingly had decent sounding claims. This particular branch stems from those who chose to follow Brigham Young out of Nauvoo, Illinois across the plains into Mexico (now Utah). But two other groups formed at that same time. Since then, there have been several offshoots from all three branches, which is a cause for a lot of confusion for those who don’t belong to any of them, as members from different sects have found their way into the headlines over the years. What makes a Mormon a Mormon? Members of the LDS Church are quick to assert their ownership of that title (although they waffle back and forth on whether or not to call themselves that, and whether to refer to their church as the Mormon church, as it has been colloquially known for ages by non-members around the world—they even recently changed the name of the world renowned Mormon Tabernacle Choir as “The Choir at Temple Square.”) Meanwhile, other offshoots claim the Brigham Young offshoot was either always illegitimate, or lost the “priesthood authority” that Brigham supposedly possessed for a variety of different reasons. The LDS Church no longer practices polygamy, but other sects do. Many of these sects still call themselves Mormons, but who’s to say really?

Now, Joseph Smith founded his church in 1830. If that much confusion exists for that group in less than just 200 years, imagine the clusterfuck that exercise would be for the Jews, who have been around at least twenty times that long.

Parsing out the good guys from the bad guys is not a simple thing, so if Trump seems to be supporting a particular faction…neat. That’s all I can really say about it. Because the way I see it is this: either he’s right in doing so or he’s not. And there’s always the chance he voices public support for them the same way he has for others that turned out to hang themselves with the public rope he’s given them. But as far as I can tell, Trump is the only politician who has earned my trust to the point where, for now anyway, I assume that whether I agree with his apparent stance on something or not (see: the vaccine), I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on his real reasons for doing so. In fact, I always felt his stance on the vaccine was him intentionally stepping out of that “prophet” role so many of us had sort of anointed him with in order to help make sure the movement grew intellectually stronger and more vigilant. And I feel like for the most part, we passed that test. I trust Trump’s intentions, until I don’t. His strange support for one Jewish offshoot that may or may not be the good guys notwithstanding.
