Trump’s ambassadors are antisemitic, just like Trump. And they will accuse others of it to force obedience.
Three US ambassadors in Europe — Belgium, France, Poland — have been summoned or rebuked by their host governments in recent weeks. The pattern is identical in each case: deploy accusations of antisemitism or personal insults to bully sovereign nations into compliance with Trump’s pathology.
The Jewish community is being used as a prop by Trump. The diplomacy is a protection racket for antisemites.
Start with Belgium, because Belgium exposes the racket.
Ambassador Bill White demanded in ALL-CAPS on the Swastika platform X:
DROP THE RIDICULOUS AND ANTI SEMITIC ‘PROSECUTION’ NOW OF THE 3 JEWISH RELIGIOUS FIGURES (MOHELS) IN ANTWERP!
He lobbed a prototypical white nationalist phrase at Belgium’s health minister calling him “very rude,” and claimed the minister refused to shake his hand. Accusations of “rudeness” alongside “uppity,” “insolent,” “impudent” are all well-known signals for American white supremacists. Emmett Till was murdered over an accusation that he was “fresh” to a white woman. The entire architecture of Jim Crow enforcement rested on the premise that insufficient deference from a subordinate was an offense requiring punishment.
Then he invoked American soldiers who died liberating Belgium in two world wars. He tagged Trump, Vance, Rubio, and the State Department for a performative clown show.
And here’s why he is completely wrong.
Belgian police investigated three mohels for performing circumcisions without medical licenses. Belgian law permits ritual circumcision when performed by a qualified physician under health and safety standards.
But wait, it’s even more clear than that.
The investigation was triggered by a complaint filed by a rabbi within the Jewish community itself, concerned about mohels practicing metzitzah b’peh — oral suction on circumcision wounds — which has infected infants with herpes in New York and elsewhere.
A Jewish religious leader asked Belgian authorities to protect Jewish babies from an unsafe practice.
Read that again. The investigation was initiated by the Jewish community to protect their own, by their own rules.
Belgium investigated. And America’s ambassador, driven by a White House claiming to be 40% Nazis, jumped in to falsely allege antisemitism.
That’s not defending Jews. That’s Trump performing ritual abuse of Jews.
Trump’s Antisemitic Franchise
In France, Charles Kushner — a convicted felon pardoned by Trump, father of Trump’s son-in-law — published an open letter in the Wall Street Journal accusing Macron of failing to confront antisemitism. France summoned him. Macron called it:
Unacceptable statement for somebody who is supposed to be a diplomat.
That’s because Kushner doesn’t care about antisemitism. He’s a Jew being used by Trump to protest France’s plan to recognize Palestinian statehood. Yeah, 147 UN member states already recognize it. “Anti-Zionism is antisemitism — plain and simple,” Kushner wrote, collapsing all criticism of Israeli government policy into bigotry against Jews.
Idiocracy.
The Trumipan framing means Belgium can’t enforce medical licensing, France can’t recognize a state, and any sovereign decision that inconveniences the indicted Netanyahu becomes hatred of Jews.
When Macron pointed out that disagreeing with Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t make him antisemitic, he was stating what should be obvious. Kushner was being used. The dictator loyalty test was dressed as moral concern.
In Poland, Ambassador Tom Rose cut ties with the speaker of parliament because the man said Trump doesn’t deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. No antisemitism accusation so far, just raw enforcement of the rule that no one may disrespect Trump. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk responded: “Allies should respect, not lecture, each other.” Rose replied that he will “always defend my President without hesitation, exception or apology.”
That sentence unlocks the whole pathological operation of Trump derangement. Not “defend American interests.” Not “advance the president’s agenda.” Defend Trump.
Thin Skinned White House
Former Ambassador Daniel Fried, who served in Poland under Clinton and later as assistant secretary of state under George W. Bush, identified the mechanism precisely. These ambassadors, he said, “are responding to what they think is expected of them” from a “very thin-skinned White House.” They fear that insufficient aggression will get them attacked by someone in Trump-world.
So the ambassadors perform Trumpistan rituals. They don’t know diplomacy only Trump loyalty.
The antisemitism charge is premium ammunition because it carries moral weight that other accusations don’t, especially from a White House claiming to be 40% Nazis. Nobody wants to be called antisemitic, especially the antisemite. That’s exactly what makes the weaponization so effective and so corrosive.
Fried contrasted this with how George W. Bush handled Spain’s José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who campaigned against the Iraq War by calling Bush’s ally Aznar a puppet. After Zapatero won, Bush called to congratulate him and said he understood it was a campaign, and that they still had work to do together. Zapatero was stunned.
He reaches out to me after all I said?
Bush “had his eye on bigger prizes,” Fried said. Trump’s ambassadors have their eyes on Trump’s feed.
Trump’s Antisemitic Records
If Trump cared about antisemitism, the record would show it. His record shows the exact opposite.
In November 2022, Trump hosted Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago for dinner. Fuentes is a white supremacist identified as such by the Department of Justice, a Holocaust denier who has called Hitler “awesome” and “right.” Trump said the dinner was “quick and uneventful.” He was reportedly “impressed” by Fuentes. He never condemned Fuentes’s views, not once — despite personally attacking Marjorie Taylor Greene as a traitor, mocking Thomas Massie’s second marriage after his first wife died, and demanding Seth Meyers be fired, all in a single week. He can name enemies at will. He chose not to name this one.
In September 2024, Trump told the Israeli-American Council that Jewish voters would be “partly to blame” if he lost the election. At a separate event the same day, he said any Jewish person voting for Democrats “should have their head examined” and that Democrats have a “hold, or curse” on Jewish Americans. He said he deserved “100 percent” of the Jewish vote because of his Israel policies — treating American Jews not as citizens with independent political judgment but as an Israeli interest group whose loyalty he owns.
These are not the words of someone who cares about, let alone fights against, antisemitism.
They are the words of someone who deploys it for power, the ancient trope of dual loyalty, the implication that Jews who don’t support him are traitors to their own kind.
In November 2025, when Tucker Carlson interviewed Fuentes and the Heritage Foundation fractured over it, Trump said:
You can’t tell him who to interview.
He wouldn’t condemn a Holocaust denier with a direct line to his base, but his ambassadors will brand Belgium antisemitic for enforcing medical licensing laws at the request of a rabbi.
Trumpistan
The pattern isn’t complicated. Antisemitism accusations from Trump’s ambassadors activate in exactly one situation: when a European ally does something Trump doesn’t like.
Recognize Palestine? Antisemitic.
Enforce medical regulations? Antisemitic.
Say Trump doesn’t deserve a Nobel Prize? Well, they haven’t yet found a Jew to abuse, so they just cut ties.
Meanwhile, actual antisemites dine at Mar-a-Lago, get defended on national television, and remain un-condemned by the man whose ambassadors lecture Europe about hatred of Jews.
Belgium’s foreign minister put it cleanly:
Labeling Belgium as antisemitic is not just wrong, it’s dangerous disinformation that undermines the real fight against hatred.
He’s right. Every time antisemitism is weaponized as a diplomatic cudgel to silence legitimate policy disagreements, it becomes harder to identify and fight the real thing. That’s not a side effect. That’s the point. The accusation is designed to lose meaning through overuse — to make the word available for political deployment precisely because it has been drained of its moral content.
Jews who face actual violence on European streets are not protected by Bill White’s ALL-CAPS posts. They’re endangered by them, because the next time someone raises a genuine alarm about antisemitism, the word will carry a little less weight. It will sound a little more like what it has become in Trump’s diplomatic vocabulary: noise.
Trump doesn’t fight antisemitism. He strip-mines it.
