Donald Trump has told a group of wealthy donors that he will crush pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses if he is returned to the White House.

The former president and presumptive Republican nominee called the demonstrations against Israel’s war in Gaza part of a “radical revolution” and promised the predominantly Jewish donors that he would set the movement back 25 or 30 years if they helped him beat Joe Biden in November’s presidential election.

“If you get me re-elected, we’re going to set that movement back 25 or 30 years,” Trump replied, according to the Washington Post, which first reported the event.

Under a Trump administration, he's openly said he would be prepared to use police and even the military to crush pro-Palestinian protests in America-- protests that, under the current administration, largely haven't been shut down by police and military sent in as a result of the Biden administration. Biden/Harris are from from perfect but why are we going to pretend that there would be no difference between their administration largely doing nothing to shut down pro-Palestinian protesters vs Trump openly saying he's crush the protests?

Can I ask you why you believe the overwhelming majority of Muslims in America have voted for Biden over Trump, and will vote Harris over Trump? Because damn near every Muslim American I know who is pro-Palestinian is voting for Harris come November despite knowing she's far from perfect.

Words mean nothing. The Democrats have done far more damage to Palestine than I ever expected Trump to do.

You are still under the illusion that Democrats aren't fully suporting the Genocide and annexation of the West Bank while Democrats are about to start WW3 to appease Netanyahu.

Trump promises big talk and under delivers. You seem to repeat his every word when it's threats but when it's promises you realize he always exaggerates. He will be the same as the Democrats.

Didn't Trump just try to actively meddle and stop a ceasefire agreement last night between Netanyahu and the Dems? And we're still pretend they're the same?

Do folks like you ever wonder why most Muslims would never vote Trump?
