Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : The Trump administration has repeatedly cited bigotry against Jews and support for anti-Israel terrorism as the justification for some of its most controversial actions, from defunding Ivy League universities to revoking the visas of foreign nationals who engage in "pro-jihadist protests.
62% : " Wouldn't a president who keeps insisting he has no tolerance for anti-Jewish violence have responded at once to the firebombing of the home of a Jewish governor?
42% : On the face of it, one would have expected Trump to be among the first and most vehement leaders to condemn the plot against Shapiro and his family.
38% : All the more so because that is exactly how Shapiro reacted when Trump was shot and very nearly killed last summer.
29% : Yet all that wasn't enough to prompt Trump to denounce the burning of the governor's mansion.
28% : (He emphasized that "the attacker was not a fan of Trump.")
28% : Why did it take Trump a week to show concern?
24% : Learning of a new attempt to assassinate a US politician, surely Trump should have instinctively reacted with outrage and sympathy.
20% : " But for days after the arson, President Trump neither reached out to Shapiro nor condemned the nightmarish attack on social media.
17% : After all, Trump himself was the target of two assassination attempts in 2024, one of which came within a few millimeters of ending Trump's life.
