Yessss...Trump is such a evil genius anti-Semite that in order to fool us he loaded his inner circle and cabinet with them...keep your friends close but your enemy's closer...genius!!
Jason Greenblatt
Greenblatt has worked as a real-estate lawyer for Trump for 19 years, and he is one of two Jewish lawyers whom Trump has said he would appoint as his Israel advisers. An Orthodox Jew and Yeshiva University graduate, Greenblatt studied at a West Bank yeshiva in the mid-1980s and even did armed guard duty there.
The father of six from Teaneck, New Jersey, does not have any political experience. Greenblatt has said he speaks with people involved in the Israeli government but has not spoken to any Palestinians since his yeshiva studies. He has cited the American Israel Public Affairs Committee as one of his main sources for staying informed about the Jewish state, and helped draft Trump?s speech at the lobbying group?s annual conference in March.
David Friedman
Alongside Greenblatt, Trump named Friedman, 57, as an Israel adviser. Friedman, a bankruptcy expert and partner at the Kasowitz law firm in New York, is the president-elect?s longtime attorney. The son of a Conservative rabbi with a family history of ties to Republican presidential candidates ? his family hosted Ronald Reagan for a Shabbat lunch in 1984, the year he won re-election ? Friedman lives in Woodmere, New York, and owns a house in Jerusalem?s Talbiyeh neighborhood, according to Haaretz.
Jared Kushner
Kushner ? the 35-year-old scion of one of New York?s most prominent real estate families and, since 2009, the husband of Trump?s daughter Ivanka ? played a crucial role in the president-elect?s campaign, especially with regards to Israel. He worked on Trump?s speech to the AIPAC annual policy conference that earned Trump a standing ovation, and helped plan a trip to Israel for his father-in-law last year. (Trump canceled the trip after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed his call to ban Muslim immigration to the United States.)
Boris Epshteyn
Epshteyn, 34, is a Republican political strategist and staunch defender of Trump who has appeared as the president-elect?s surrogate on major TV networks over 100 times, The New York Times reported.
A New York-based investment banker and finance attorney, Epshteyn worked as a communications aide for Sen. John McCain?s presidential campaign in 2008, focusing his efforts on the Arizona senator?s running mate, then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, whom Trump is reportedly considering for interior secretary, according to Politico.
Stephen Miller
Miller, 30, has played a crucial role in Trump?s campaign, helping to warm up crowds at rallies and drafting speeches, including the president-elect?s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.
Miller, who has described himself as ?a practicing Jew,? joined the Trump campaign in January, quickly rising through the ranks to become ?one of the most important people in the campaign,? as Trump?s campaign manager told The Wall Street Journal. Previously he worked for seven years as an aide to Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., helping the lawmaker draft materials to kill a bipartisan Senate immigration reform bill. Some of Sessions? arguments contain similarities to Trump?s harsh and often controversial statements on the issue, such as calling for building a wall on the Mexican border and banning Muslim immigration to the country.
Steven Mnuchin
Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs executive, worked as Trump?s national finance chairman during the campaign with the aim of raising more than $1 billion for the candidate.
Trump and Mnuchin have been friends for 15 years, and prior to being in charge of Trump?s campaign finances, Mnuchin served as an adviser. Part of what The New York Times describes as one of Manhattan?s elite ?most influential families,? Mnuchin and his father both got rich working at Goldman Sachs. The younger Mnuchin also co-founded the entertainment company RatPac-Dune Entertainment, which has worked on such Hollywood hits as ?Avatar? and ?Black Swan.?
Lewis Eisenberg
Eisenberg, the private equity chief for Granite Capital International Group, serves as finance chairman for the Republican National Committee. He was one of a small group of Republican Jewish Coalition board members who did not flee from Trump?s candidacy, and was a major contributor to groups backing Trump?s election ? only nine of 55 RJC board members gave to Trump. Alongside Mnuchin, he worked to raise funds for the candidate.
Michael Glassner
Glassner was not new to Republican presidential campaigns when Trump appointed him last year to serve as his national political director. He worked as director of vice presidential operations for McCain?s 2008 campaign and ran Geogre W. Bush?s campaign in Iowa in 2000. He has also worked with Palin and Sen. Bob Dole, a former presidential candidate.
