Mark Levin Hails Trump as ‘The First Jewish President’
Fox News host Mark Levin declared Trump “the first Jewish president” during a White House Hanukkah reception on December 17, 2025, stating Trump should be remembered “for a thousand years” by Jewish people. Trump confirmed Levin’s statement, claiming he is “the first Jewish president to serve two non-consecutive presidencies” and asserting, without evidence, that “bad things happened on the second one. Namely, the election was rigged.”
Levin first made the same declaration about Trump in 2019, stating it would be “an honor” to recognize him as such a president. The Fox News host has maintained this characterization despite previously criticizing Trump administration policies, writing in October that there were “echos of Biden” in the White House and repeatedly attacking Trump allies including Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson.
Trump’s claim of a “rigged” election contradicts documented election results and court findings across multiple jurisdictions. No credible evidence supports assertions that the 2020 election was fraudulent, and courts rejected over 60 lawsuits challenging election integrity.
The characterization of Trump as a Jewish president lacks religious basis. Trump is Presbyterian; his daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism to marry her husband, Jared Kushner, but Trump himself is not Jewish by faith or heritage.
