(CNN) On Saturday night, President Donald Trump served up a buffet of anti-Semitic tropes during his speech before the Israeli American Council advocacy group in Florida. He played on the dangerous anti-Semitic theme of Jews having dual loyalty to the United States and another country, when he said, "They don't love Israel enough." The condemnation of Trump's words was swift. It's true that Trump has trafficked in similar anti-Semitic stereotypes in the past -- but failing to call them out each and every time is how these dangerous tropes became mainstream. Numerous Jewish leaders slammed Trump for invoking the anti-Semitic trope that Jews have "dual loyalty."
