Confusion arose about Donald Trump\u2019s faith after a remark at a White House Hanukkah celebration. Talk show host Mark Levin referred to Trump as the \u201cfirst Jewish president.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump hosted the event on December 16, offering prayers for victims of an antisemitic attack in Australia. He pledged to always support Jewish Americans and be a \u201cchampion of the Jewish people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Levin, invited on stage, repeated a title he has used since 2019, declaring Trump the \u201cfirst Jewish president.\u201d The crowd applauded, and Trump responded, \u201cIt\u2019s true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This has led to questions on social media about Trump\u2019s actual religion. However, he was raised Presbyterian and identifies as a non-denominational Christian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The connection may stem from his strong political support for Israel and his family ties. His daughter, Ivanka, converted to Orthodox Judaism before her marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Levin\u2019s comments were symbolic praise for Trump\u2019s policies, not a statement of his religious faith. The broadcaster thanked Trump for his support of the Jewish people and Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, while celebrated by some for his alliance, Trump is not Jewish. The title appears to be a figurative expression of his administration\u2019s stance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
