They may be winning the war, but they are not winning in the court of public opinion-and it"s hurting them."   He added that Israel"s influence in Washington has weakened in recent years. "If you go back 15–20 years, Israel had the strongest lobby in Congress of anything or body, or of any company or corporation or state that I"ve ever seen. Israel was the strongest, and today it doesn"t have that strong a lobby. It"s amazing."   Trump also pointed to the growing prominence of progressive lawmakers. "There was a time where you couldn"t speak badly about Israel if you wanted to be a politician-you couldn"t. But today you have Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and all these lunatics, and they"ve really changed it," he said. "Israel once had complete control in Congress, and now it doesn"t. I"m a little surprised to see it."   "People have forgotten October 7, it was a really horrible day," he added. "I saw the pictures. It was really bad. You have people that deny it ever happened. You have people that deny the Holocaust ever happened," he said.
