  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Presidents Who Engaged in Antisemitic Behavior or Tolerated Antisemitism in Their Administration

4. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933–1945)

  • Mixed record: had Jewish advisors (e.g. Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau) and fought Hitler.
  • Yet refused to admit many Jewish refugees before WWII, including turning away the MS St. Louis.
  • Expressed private doubts about “Jewish influence” in government and finance.

5. Donald Trump (2017–2021)

  • Frequently used dog whistles and stereotypes (e.g., telling a Jewish audience “you’re not going to vote for me because I don’t want your money”).
  • Repeatedly elevated far-right figures known for antisemitism.
  • Also: Strong supporter of Israel and had Jewish family members/advisors. This doesn’t cancel antisemitic language but complicates interpretation.
