How do you know he isn't a jew?

How does anybody know? I know he goes to church and is an actively practicing Christian - with close ties to influential Christian leaders. That could just be smart American politics or smart Republican politics - the Christian right voted Trump on mass during the last election - but Trump was also raised at a time when most Americans still went to church with regularity. He's older than me, and when I grew up it was still illegal to be open on Sunday. My parents were raised as church goers as well.
I see a lot of the Maga/anti-Maga conflict as fundamentally a Christian vrs Jewish conflict. The war on American society driven by the left is actually a war on America's Christian social values - values Trump is now working to restore. Communism/leftism is actually a Jewish creation. While in Russia one of the main targets of Communism was the Christian Orthodox church. That church is again on the rise under Putin in the post Communist era. Part of the Trump/Putin common ground is their mutual support of Christianity.

There are many behaviors of Trumps that yield me great skepticism. Ultimately, right this second, he could clear out the illegals, send in the national guard to every sanctuary city and state, put bounties on illegals. It would be trivial, what good is anything if we can't even protect the sovereignty of our own nation?
How is he working to restore these values? Does he scorn gays and demand trannies be locked into loony bins? Is he repealing the 1965 naturalization act? Obliterating the federal reserve and changing the public educational system?
