That's bizarre and off-base, in my opinion. Judaism is a religion, not a nationality. Americans who practice Judaism are just 'Americans' in nationality, same as Americans who practice any other religion.
I guess it's not all that surprising though, considering the many other actions President Trump has taken to bolster Israeli in its conflicts with the Palestinians and in light of Trump and Jared Kushner's close alliance with Israeli PM Netanyahu.
I see lots of comments and claims from people on the far right that criticism of Israel's policies and/or Netanyahu's leadership is 'anti-Semitic', which is obviously horse shit. But, that narrative seems to play into the motivation for this Executive Order.
