A Story About Donald Trump, Jews and the Lessons of History

My story, will as usual involve social, psychological, economic and historical elements to explain the rise of what I call Trumpism and why as an American and a Jew I fear for my children, grandchildren and all of yours as well. I will call no one any names and will avoid all moral labels to explain what I see emerging in my beautiful, well loved democratic country. While my story has to do with everybody affected by the political upheaval now taking place before our eyes I want to  center my story about those of my fellow Jews who have hated President Obama from the first day he was elected and now cheer as Trump seeks to "make America great again." For Jews (or any abused minority) to ignore history is to suffer the consequences of allowing itself to be repeated.
