Awake Goy The guy who asked Trump that question, I would wager, knows perfectly well Obama’s religion and place of birth. In my experience in the Jim Crow South, deliberate mixing up of names and facts was often employed (e.g., “what do ya think about this Mahtin Luthah character?”), as a way of saying, “I’m not going to honor this person by pronouncing his name correctly, or stating his background correctly, I’m going to deliberately screw it up because I don’t like the guy, and my good ol’ boys will get a laugh out of it,” the exact reaction Trump gave him. Lyndon Johnson used to used the same ploy on, among others, Henry Kissinger, pronouncing his name “Keesinger,” to his great distress. There was some old Southern cold warrior, I’ve forgotten his name, who always said “commonists,” in reference to Communists, using the same tactic. It’s just like the “Democrat Party.”
I’d wager that most of the Republicans who answer those poll questions are doing the same thing, deliberately answering incorrectly, and laughing at the effect.
It’s not the gang of allies that I would’ve thought Israel would seek to align with in America, but, there you have it.
