Trump’s barely been in office a year and a half, but already his presidency has been analyzed to death, with every new diagnosis contradicting the last. Trump’s a “4D chess master!” No, he’s a charlatan ill-suited for public office. Please, he’s an outsider with a grand vision, hobbled by a deep-state legion of leakers and traitors. C’mon, he’s clinically insane, with incipient dementia. Wrong again, he’s a crouching tiger, his seeming missteps merely a diversion to lull his prey into a false sense of security. Be serious, he’s Åke Axelsson’s chimp, mindlessly flinging paint at the wall as others foolishly debate the merits of his art.

Every theory, from every angle, has been stated and restated. Surely at this point there can be no fresh analysis of this man and his presidency. At least that’s what I thought, until a few weeks ago, when I spent the afternoon with Ann Coulter, having lunch at one of Beverly Hills’ most revered Jewish delis.

Ann Coulter and David Cole walk into a Jewish deli. I’ll let you write your own punchline.

After surviving a surprisingly pleasant encounter with the paparazzi, as we walked along Rodeo Drive past the fancy boutiques catering to gullible Asian tourists, Ann shared a theory about why Trump has elicited so much irrational hatred from one particularly influential U.S. demographic group. And what she said hit me right in the gut. She’s never publicly written about this theory, but with her permission I’ll present it here. Suffice it to say, it falls into the category of “Wish I’d said that.”

A brief preamble. Ever since Trump announced his candidacy, I’ve been baffled by the outpouring of blind, irrational hatred directed at Trump by my fellow Jews. It’s a hatred that goes beyond partisan politics. Sure, Jews always hate the Republican. But this is something different; this is a hostility, a bitter antagonism, that I typically see directed at people like me. Or actual Jew-haters like David Duke. But Trump? This was a man with absolutely no history of being anti-Jewish. He’s a gentile who’s mixed with Jews his entire life, in business, in family, and he’s gotten along just fine.

“Ann Coulter and David Cole walk into a Jewish deli. I’ll let you write your own punchline.”

Millionaires and magnates who actually are anti-Jewish (like Henry Ford) develop a reputation long before they hit their 70s. When I was a kid, my mom, a Brooklyn-born Jew, worked as a commercial graphic artist, and it was common knowledge among the people in her field which companies didn’t hire Jews. For example, the Hall family (of Hallmark Cards) and the Knotts family (of the eponymous Berry Farm) had a reputation, deserved or not, for not employing Jews. Trump has never had any such rep. In the 1990s he publicly slammed the private clubs of Palm Beach for not admitting Jews. He opened Mar-a-Lago with the stated purpose of bringing a club into the community that was open to Jews and other minorities. His daughter married a Jew and converted, and his son-in-law is a trusted adviser (for better or worse). Are those the actions of an anti-Semite?

Some of the evidence presented for Trump’s supposed Jew-hatred actually proves the opposite, like the 1991 allegation by the former president of Trump Plaza that Trump once remarked, “The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. Those are the kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else.” How very Nazi of him to insist on entrusting his money to Jews. As I pointed out earlier, my mom knew the anti-Semites in her biz by the fact that they didn’t hire Jews. Trump was a guy who wanted Jews as employees and associates.

But according to a large faction of vocal Jews, Trump is the greatest existential threat to the Jewish people since Hitler. He’s a Nazi, a fascist, a Father Coughlin, a George Lincoln Rockwell. The claims are so over-the-top, they’d be funny if they weren’t insane.

I’ve followed (and been the target of) Jewish outrage for damn near thirty years, yet I’ve never seen anything this extreme. There’s gotta be a reason for it, right? Is it Trump’s immigration views? It can’t be that alone. When Pete Wilson, at the time the governor of California, decided to hang his 1996 presidential bid on the illegal-immigration issue, sure, Jews on the left were outraged, but it was just standard partisan gamesmanship. Defeat the Republican, say what’s necessary (“racist,” “misogynist,” “fascist”), and at the end of the day go back to being Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog, punching the time clock and saying a friendly goodnight, because much of what had preceded was theater.

And therein lies the key difference: This time, it’s not business. It’s personal…very personal.

Ann Coulter’s theory is that Jews dislike Trump because he reminds us too much of ourselves. More specifically, in style and manner he reminds us of the traits we’re most often ridiculed for. Trump is a loud, boorish New Yawker. He’s foulmouthed; he has no “indoor voice.” He’s clumsy when delicacy is called for; he gesticulates madly and almost certainly spits when he talks. He’s a slumlord, and a master manipulator of finance and bankruptcy law. And the strikingly beautiful women he surrounds himself with are most likely only there because of the money. Basically, he’s a Streicher cartoon without the Jewface. For Jews, gazing at Trump is like looking at a fun-house mirror reflection of the very worst anti-Semitic stereotypes. And Jews don’t want to see that in a president, because it makes us feel uncomfortable (we are, after all, a people known for our neuroses).

Ann’s theory hit me like a lightning bolt. Because yeah, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that Trump is essentially my late cousin Sol. Sol was a kind, pudgy, jovial man who could never moderate his tone. In the middle of a crowded restaurant, he’d talk about a rash on his ballsack or the regularity of his bowels. If there was a black or a Mexican in the room, he’d make a schvartze or wetback joke (“Hey, it’s just a joke! Lighten up!”). His put-downs of fat women would have made Al Bundy green with envy. And sometimes, after giving offense, he’d wonder why people were upset, as he was “just being honest.”

He was base, he was coarse. On a personal level, if you were in need, he’d give you the shirt off his back. But a lot of people could never get past his manner. Talk to your average East Coast Jew, and they’ll have at least one cousin Sol in their family tree. And now we have one as president.

Obviously, not every American Jew rejects boorishness (as evidenced by the typical Hollywood “comedy” film). But the ones in D.C., and the ones in positions of influence in the news media, certainly do. These upper-echelon Jews don’t want to be the Jerry in a room full of Deans. They want to fit right in with the old money and the political dynasties. The worst thing you can do to them is show them a president who resembles the person they’re so desperately trying not to be, because of course they will hate that man. “New York vulgar” offends high-society Jews the same way “Compton ghetto” offends a middle- or upper-class black.

I suppose it can be said that Trump “triggers” Jews in a way that no other Republican in recent times has.

If Ann’s theory holds water, and I think it does, my guess is that Jews will never warm up to Trump, no matter how many Muslim countries he bombs. Trump will never be treated like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Many people have forgotten that during the California gubernatorial recall election in 2003, Schwarzenegger made illegal immigration the cornerstone of his campaign. Everything that happened nationally in 2016 played itself out on a smaller scale here fifteen years ago. Schwarzenegger was called a Nazi (on The Tonight Show, no less, by disgraced disgrace Al Franken), Latino rioters violently interrupted his campaign stops (in one instance throwing an egg at the action star, with the resulting impact resembling that of a pebble thrown at a battleship), the media trotted out old stories of groping and sexual improprieties in order to discredit him, and “reputable” polling organizations tried to torpedo his candidacy by releasing fake poll numbers.

Then something fascinating happened. Once in office, Schwarzenegger reversed himself on practically everything, from taxes to public unions to his hard line on illegal immigration. And guess what? The establishment embraced him. The L.A. Times, which, in 2003, had decried him as a misogynistic Nazi rapist racist, endorsed him for reelection three years later! He left office in 2011 without an enemy among Democrats. His final act as governor was a parting middle finger to his original base: He commuted the sentence of a Latino teen who’d murdered another boy in 2008. The murderous teen who got nine years shaved off his sentence was the son of powerful California Democrat Fabian Nunez, cochair of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign and Schwarzenegger’s bestie.

Schwarzenegger was welcomed into the leftist fold because that whole “Nazi rapist racist” thing was not personal. It was just partisan business-as-usual. Even though Schwarzenegger was the son of an actual Nazi, the Jews in the California Democrat machine were more than happy to welcome him in once he began to abandon his agenda. After all, what’s more pleasing than bringing to heel the son of an enemy? That’s true power. But I honestly believe that in Trump’s case, no matter what he does, a sizable segment of the Jewish political establishment will never stop hating him, because he’ll still be Donald Trump; he’ll still be every Jew’s “cousin Sol.”

Oddly enough, that hatred, which is essentially a projection of Jewish self-hatred, might be the only thing that can save Trump’s withering agenda. Trump is at his best when he’s attacked. That’s when he gets combative, that’s when his oppositional defiance kicks in. Trump meets anger with anger and insults with insults. If influential Jews continue to hate him even in the face of all the establishment-friendly and neocon-friendly things he’s doing now—from the omnibus bill to bombing Syria to reversing himself on TPP—it might just propel the man to revert back to the issues that won him the office in the first place. Trump may be generally unpredictable, but he does have one very predictable trait: Once you’ve worked his last nerve, he’s done with you. He’ll attack you and everything you hold dear. And he’ll go out of his way to do things just to piss you off.

He’s a petty man. But that pettiness might just salvage his presidency.

If Ann Coulter is right, and if D.C. Jews can’t reign in their bitter scorn even in spite of his recent olive branches (if that’s truly what they are and not just the random splatter of a chimp with a paintbrush), we may end up getting that border wall after all…if only due to spite.

Jew here. My first inkling is this could be cr, with caveats. I am witness to the Jewish lawyers, professors, teachers in my family who are absolutely and insanely anti-Trump. His mere name is an epithet. But is it more so than any other Republican? More than Bush? Maybe, but only slightly more intense, and that could be for the reasons the author posits here.

To say Trump is "anti-Jewish" is completely insane. The man is not an anti-Semite. He has never done anything anti-Semitic. In fact, considering who his business partners have always been, his son-in-law, his daughters conversion and Jewish grand kids, it's such a patently ridiculous notion it doesn't even deserve a response. Trump IS like an honorary Jew. What big real estate macher in NYC wouldn't be? It seems the Jews resent him not just for his politics but also because there is a Jewish sickness called envy. It's the guy in your family who became a bigtime lawyer while you only became a middling-level successful artist and you screech at him "What, you're so great because you live in a castle on a hill? Mr. Big shot lawyer? You're god's gift to the world?" It's envy. Jews tend to like to be "the best". It's true. And because of our, er, "checkered" past, the bleeding heart liberal indoctrination in Jewish communities has taken deep root. Many people believe in the liberal doctrine of capitalist oppression, racist oppression, blah blah blah. About 30 percent of Jews see clearly, but about 70 percent are die-hard libs who "glamourously" intellectualize the most insane shitlibbery. And you know why?

Red pill: they do it because they are ashamed of their lack of success, and this ideological superiority "bestowed" upon them by their "superior" ideals gives them a sense of social security/superiority around people who are, by most metrics, more successful. If they can't beat you, they degrade you. Tale as old as time. It's the same thing when Hillary calls half the country "deplorable" - they will find a way to look down on you to cling to any sense of superiority.

So, that's my two cents. (well I'm Jewish, so I'm taking one cent back.)
