I agree. Donald Trump is not anti-semitic. He seems to really like his Jewish son in law.
But what he did was embolden xenophobia in general, not specifically embolden anti-semitism. People who are xenophobic don't really segregate those things in their mind. They see Trump attacking Mexicans by calling them rapists and dog-whistling to the KKK by pretending not to know David Duke and refusing to walk back his "both sides" comments during Charlottesville for several days and they assume he also secretly hates whatever they hate.
trump was right though. he was not calling mexicans rapists, he was calling MS13 members rapists, and they are way more than that, murderers rapists pedophiles drug dealers running slaves circles etc.
regarding both sides at charlottesville, there were both sides there, antifa and the right side. of course he mentioned both.
or let me guess, left wing terrorists are just an idea?

regarding anti semitism, if you check the data, a lot of the anti jewish attacks come from the left, muslims for examples.
