President Trump has doubled down on his comments about American Jews, even as he insists anti-Semitic tropes aren't anti-Semitic when coming from him.

• Trump yesterday: "I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty."
• Trump today: "If you want to vote Democrat you are being very disloyal to Jewish people and Israel."

Why it matters: The “dual loyalty” trope has long been used by anti-Semites to question the patriotism of American Jews, and dates back to centuries of global anti-Semitism.

• Trump denied that his comments were anti-Semitic, telling a reporter: "It's only anti-Semitic in your head."
• The Anti-Defamation League disagreed: "He should apologize immediately," ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt tweeted this morning.

The big picture: Pew reports Jewish Americans voted overwhelmingly for Democrats in the 2018 midterms, with an estimated 79% compared to 17% for Republicans.

Flashback: Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) earned her own rebuke this spring with comments about "the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country."

• "The problem isn’t that Omar criticized Israeli policies,” Greenblatt wrote at the time. “The problem is her comments were anti-Semitic.”

The bottom line: Israeli President Reuven Rivlin "was the lone senior Israeli official to address [Trump’s] assertion," the Times of Israel reports, telling House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that U.S.-Israel ties “are not dependent on the relationship with one particular party.”
