13. That's the thing, obviously he wouldn't vote for Trump

Trump accused Biden and Schumer of being like “Palestinians” (and not “in a good way.”)

In what Effed-Up world-view would anyone think that Trump was the better choice for the Palestinian cause?

No, he just wanted to screw with the Democratic nominee, whoever it was, thinking that might win their good will… Uh… right… That’s “politically savvy.”

Trump criticized for 'Palestinian' insult in debate with Biden

"The only one who wants the war to continue is Hamas," Biden said. Trump responded by saying Biden has "become like a Palestinian," which rights advocates said came across as a slur.

"Actually, Israel is the one (that wants to keep going), and you should let them go and let them finish the job. He (Biden) doesn’t want to do it. He's become like a Palestinian but they don't like him because he's a very bad Palestinian. He's a weak one," Trump said.

On Friday, Trump again used the term 'Palestinian' in a similar way, this time saying in a rally that Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who is Jewish, was Palestinian. "He's become a Palestinian because they have a couple more votes or something," he added.

The Council on American Islamic Relations advocacy group said Biden was wrong to claim that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants the war to end, while adding it viewed Trump's Palestinian comment in the debate as a racist insult.
