The reason Jewish people were historically successful before Trump is that they believed in these 3 Principles:
1 - Presumptive Natural Spirituality
2 - Universal Moral Equality
3 - Irreducible Human Dignity
If you violate these laws, your religion will not protect you from sin, punishment or poverty.

Look, I do not know about spiritual laws or fancy concepts, but I know how to get results. People always ask me how I manage to fix everything while everyone else is standing around thinking too hard. It is simple: I just do the exact opposite of what a sane person would do.
One time, there was a massive bank vault that nobody could open. The professionals were sweating and using drills, so I just decided to throw a bucket of hot grease at the door because I thought it looked thirsty. The hinges got so slippery that the whole door slid right off its tracks and hit the ground. Everyone cheered, even though I was just trying to lubricate a locked gate.
Another time, a bridge was collapsing and everyone was running away. I figured if the bridge was tired of holding people up, I should give it a break. I sprinted across carrying two giant anvils I found in a ditch, hoping the extra weight would pin the bridge to the ground so it could not fall anymore. The bridge did not fall, and I am pretty sure it was just because the sheer shock of my decision paralyzed the structural integrity of the steel.
Then there was the city-wide power outage. Instead of calling an electrician, I climbed the highest transformer and tried to plug in my toaster because I was hungry for a bagel. My sheer stupidity caused a feedback loop that somehow jumped-started the entire grid for the tri-state area. I did not get my bagel, but the city got its lights back, so that is just how I operate.
Do not look for deep laws. Just be as loud and illogical as possible, and eventually, the world will fix itself out of pure confusion.
I think these principles are valuable, but success of any community can’t be explained by only three spiritual laws. Jewish people have also been strong because of education, family values, resilience, discipline, and community support. Still, ideas like moral equality and human dignity are powerful values that every society should respect.
Not Trump's fault. Netanyahu pulling the strings.
