   It says something about #Trump that I, as a person who's known a lot more about him than the average person for over a decade, am less surprised by the fact that he's now apparently blaming "the #Jews" if he doesn't when the election then the fact it took him this long. He thinks of people in such hereditary and demographic terms, so unquestioning of ethnic stereotypes, that it's inevitable that anyone who isn't part of the only demographic group that is voting for him in large numbers (straight white non-disabled males) is going to end up being lashed out at as soon as the election is over, regardless of the outcome.

   It's why it's very important to make sure he loses, and doesn't have the power of the US government behind him when he decides to get revenge.

   Very dark times we live in for the #US.

     Oh, it's definitely both an indirect call for his more violent supporters to do things before the election, and a threat of what he will do after the election, though it's not really a threat they can avoid considering he's pretty much guaranteed to go after them either way, even if the majority of Jews suddenly decided to support him.

     The wheel of bigotry always hits certain groups, and the Jews are one of them.

     Part of me wonders if the reason he phrased it this way may have been on purpose, to signal to the antisemites that, if he gets elected, he will be hostile towards the Jews.

     Just to point out the obvious: by proactively blaming the Jews, he's putting a target on their heads so that they're on the short list during the violence that will inevitably follow the election.
