When asked by host Wayne Allyn Root in the interview that aired on Tuesday about the “problem,” of the “communist colour revolution”, taking over “the biggest cities in America”, Trump replied that the biggest change he had observed over the last decade is “what’s happened to Israel and Jewish people”, adding that if, “you go back 20, 25 years ago, they had the most powerful lobby in Washington.
Now, everyone is … if you look at the House … you look at the Democrats in the House … it’s pretty amazing actually. I’ve never seen anything like it.”.

The comments come after a recent survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs revealed a dramatic erosion of support for the US ally, with burgeoning opposition from Democrats and signs of polarisation among the Republican base.
Esta não foi a primeira vez que o presidente reconheceu o declínio do apoio a Israel na política dos EUA. Em setembro de 2025, em uma entrevista com a correspondente da Casa Branca Reagan Reese, do site de direita Daily Caller, fundado pelo ex-apresentador da Fox News Tucker Carlson, Trump admitiu que estava ciente do declínio do apoio a Israel entre os jovens republicanos, explicando posteriormente ao Caller que o endosso incondicional a Israel no Congresso agora é coisa do passado.
In the 42-minute audio clip with RAV, Trump went on to slight Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish official in US history and a reliably pro-Israel voice, “Look at Schumer.
He’s become virtually a Palestinian,” he told the Caller.
Trump made similar comments in 2025, as well. During a March 2025 Oval Office meeting, Trump told reporters that “Schumer is a Palestinian, as far as I’m concerned,” and reiterated the comment at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in July.
He berated the Democrat whom he claims was once “one hundred percent for Israel”.
Na época, as proclamações pejorativas de Trump encontraram ampla desaprovação e receberam condenação de grupos judeus e muçulmanos sobre o que muitos viram como um insulto xenofóbico, em relação às tentativas do presidente de enquadrar "palestino" como um insulto político dirigido a Schumer.
In March 2024, the Senate minority leader had called for a leadership shake-up in Israel, after describing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza”.
That was the Jewish-American Democrat’s most vociferous critique of Israel since its genocidal war in Gaza first began in October 2023, having also expressed support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The veteran senator is usually a staunch defender of Israel.
More recently, Schumer reprimanded the president over his handling of the US-Israel war on Iran, noting that his “rinse and repeat approach … isn’t a strategy”, but a “recipe for utter disaster”, adding, “we keep moving backward.
it’s incredible what a fiasco this war is.”.
