The tricky part is I can't confidently gauge someone unless I meet them and spend some time with them. I can't tell where his showmanship begins and ends, and where his true self fills the voids.
Many say he is very personal in person, he is very popular at his conventions in not only the showmanship speeches that he does rather well with much of it off the cuff, but the personal engagements afterwards. I can assume if you met him you might just find yourself actually liking the guy...lol

It's very possible. I've always made it a point to avoid conflating someone as a professional and who they are on personal time. I used to be in logistics, and we all had to put business first and often be quite curt. But work hard play hard as they say... We all got along when we could let our hair down.
I didn't like the Bush presidency, but I always got the vibe I'd love him as a person. His interview with Jimmy Kimmel a year or two ago was priceless
I don’t disagree with you, but the poster I was responding to saying this would increase anti Semitism is wrong

I didn't say that. I said that anti-Semitism is created when Jews are demonized. Donald Trump just used a centuries old trope, that demonizes Jews as disloyal, to demonize American Jews who vote Democratic.

agree on this one. Sign a few more EO's helping veterans, and quietly, QUIETLY, let the left self destruct on their own. But for God's sake, let one pass every now and then.

I see what you mean now that you put it into context... I still don't think a measurable amount of the left is actually anti-semetic though.
Just as I don't think white supremecy is as big of a concern as many would have us believe.
Trump clearly was defending Israel and going after what he sees as a party with loud members cheering for its removal, and the Dems who allow this to occur

“Good riddance! The two-state solution for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is finally dead. But someone has to issue an official death certificate before the rotting corpse is given a proper burial and we can all move on and explore the more just, moral and therefore enduring alternative for peaceful coexistence between Jews and Arabs in Mandate Palestine: the one-state solution.”

Sometimes one might even think that Israel has dominance over the USA.
