CNN political analyst Paul Begala was unsparing when asked about former President Donald Trump's latest attack on the majority of American Jews.

Trump said this week that the majority of American Jews should feel "ashamed" because they don't vote for Republicans, while also claiming that American Jews "hate Israel" and even hate their own religion.

Former President Donald Trump said this week that the majority of American Jews should feel "ashamed" because they don't vote for Republicans.

Addressing Trump's comments on CNN Tuesday, Jewish Democratic Council of America CEO Halie Soifer said that Trump's comments were a good reminder of why more than two-thirds of Jews in the 2020 election backed President Joe Biden.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough was gobsmacked by federal judge Aileen Cannon's latest order in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.

The U.S. District Court judge ordered Donald Trump's attorneys and special counsel Jack Smith's team to submit jury instructions ahead of a trial, but the "Morning Joe" host agreed with legal experts who say the two-page order compels them to engage in an irrelevant application of the Presidential Records Act instead of the Espionage Act, which is the law he's charged with breaking.

A CNN panel on Tuesday whacked former President Donald Trump after he lobbed an angry attack on the majority of American Jews.

Trump this week told right-wing podcaster Sebastian Gorka that "any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion, they hate everything about Israel, and they should be ashamed of themselves."

Donald Trump can't find an insurer to cover the bond for his $464 million penalty fraud penalty while he appeals the ruling, and a legal analyst said he's got no one to blame but himself.

The former president's attorneys notified the court Monday that 30 underwriters had turned down his proposal to pledge a combination of cash and real estate as collateral, but most did not have the financial strength to handle a bond of that magnitude, and attorney Renato Mariotti told CNN that Trump had put himself into a precarious position.

Award-winning presidential historian Michael Beschloss sounded the alarm after Donald Trump's "bloodbath" threat over the weekend, warning that his remarks echo those that led to the rise and installation of fascism in pre-World War II Germany and Italy.

"That's how fascism and totalitarianism and in Germany's case the Holocaust came to Germany, which had been a country where there were big institutions of democracy until, as you well know, the early 1930s," Beschloss said on MSNBC Monday to "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski (video below). "In a way of Donald Trump has done us all a favor, because if you and I had been talking, Mika, let's say 20 years ago, and they've been talking about what would have seemed like a very abstract and distant subject of how fascism and dictatorship might come to America, you probably would have been more wiser."

During a rally in Vandalia, Ohio, this Saturday, Donald Trump promised a "100 percent tariff" on cars manufactured outside the U.S., saying that if he's elected president, auto manufacturing jobs for Americans would be protected.

However, Trump's speech drew more scrutiny when he argued that him not being elected would mean a "bloodbath" for the American auto industry.

The hosts and panelists of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" were among the many Americans disturbed by Donald Trump's prediction of a "bloodbath" should he lose re-election in November made while speaking to rabid supporters in Ohio over the weekend.

Added to that, as co-host Joe Scarborough noted, was Trump's follow-up comment which got little notice but that should be seen as equally alarming.

With the entire panel dismissing pushback from the Trump campaign claiming the former president was only talking about the auto industry, Scarborough cut to the chase and called the Trump response "bull---t."

After showing a clip of the now-infamous rally speech, where Trump threatened, "Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath," Scarborough focused on what came next.

"It was a distinction without a difference, talking about the auto industry, then it'll be a bloodbath," the MSNBC host began. "Maybe you can connect that to the auto industry — maybe you can, okay. Again, I've never really heard people discuss macroeconomics in terms of bloodbaths, but maybe so, for argument's sake."

"But then he says, '...and that's going to be the least of it,'" he pointed out. "If you think there's going to be a bloodbath in the auto industry, even if you take that argument at face value, which, again, given the tone of the rest of the speech, bloodbath, I'm not sure he's talking about the niceties of international trade; let's take that argument as is. Then he goes on and says, 'That's going to be the least of it,' repeats it, 'it's going to be the least of it.'"

"Folks obviously, he's talking about a bloodbath for America," he elaborated. "It's laid out in the terms of it. These idiots on Twitter, these idiots on cable news, idiots on Sunday shows going, 'He was only talking about the industry...' That's bull----t. I'll say that at 6:15 a.m. it was bull---t."

"He knew what he was doing — we're not stupid. Americans aren't stupid," he added. "He was talking about a bloodbath. Sometimes a bloodbath means a bloodbath. When he finishes by saying, 'And that's just going to be the least of it,' seriously? These people may be stupid, we're not."

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough condemned Donald Trump for celebrating jailed Jan. 6 rioters as patriots and hostages.

At a campaign rally in Dayton, Ohio, the former president saluted the J6 Prison Choir's alternate rendition of the national anthem, calling them "unbelievable patriots," and pledged to help those "hostages" on his first day in office, and both the "Morning Joe" host and co-host Mika Brzezinski called his comments "twisted."

Former President Donald Trump's remarks about there being a "bloodbath" if he loses may have just been a metaphor about the supposed decline of the American auto industry -- but former Bush speechwriter David Frum doesn't think he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Appearing on CNN, Frum argued that the former president has a long history of stoking and encouraging political violence that makes his "bloodbath" comment impossible to overlook.
