Last night, after Trump’s Arizona win, I found myself trying to answer the question, “Why is Trump …?” It was more of an existential question, but in times of need, you go to your nearest source for answers. Google was there to sharpen my question. This is the most common search term connected to “Why is Trump”

Bibi Better Give Sara Some Bibi Bijoux:
She IS Everywhere:
Things Would Be So Simple if It Were Just a Cube:

Spoiler Alert: Yes, It’s an Anti-Semitic Joke:
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
