Eli (I refuse to call you “Reb”), the rise in antisemitism is all coming from Trump’s enemies. Because the Democratic Party tolerates antisemitism, while the Republican Party does not. There are no open antisemites in the GOP; any that are discovered are kicked out. But in the Democrats they are honored and powerful, and those who don’t like it are very careful not to offend them. So naturally their supporters feel free to lash out, while pointing figures at a bogeyman called “white supremacy” which just barely exists.

To the original question, Trump is not a good person. If being a good person were a requirement for being president I would have to oppose him. But he has been a good president over all. I didn’t support him in the Republican primary four years ago. My choices were Scott Walker, Bobby Jindal, and Rick Perry. But all three crashed. In November I didn’t vote for either major candidate, and I expected Trump to be just as bad as Clinton would have been. I have been very pleasantly surprised, and I intend to vote for him this year. On the other hand, if something were to happen to him I think Pence would be a much better president; he would have all of Trump’s maalos and none of his chesronos.
