President Trump was recently called out on Twitter by recent (until May) ADL Florida Chair and Morgan Stanley “wealth management advisor” Scott Notowitz. On July 1, at 10:05 AM, Notowitz tweeted, to @realDonaldTrump, “How does it feel to be so hated? You obviously enjoy it!”
The tweet by Notowitz was a response to Trump’s tweet earlier that day saying: “Crazy Joe Scarborough and dumb as a rock Mika are not bad people, but their low rated show is dominated by their NBC bosses. Too bad!”
In the 22 days since his tweet, Notowitz, despite his prominence at an “anti-hate” organization as authoritative as the ADL, has received zero replies, zero retweets and not even a single heart icon. (In contrast, the tweet by Notowitz’s foe in the Oval Office has received approximately 63,000 replies, 24,000 retweets and 102,000 heart icons.)
A sense of irony is apparently lost on Notowitz given that, four Twitter actions of his prior, he retweeted a tweet by the ADL (@ADL_National) saying “We are combating bullying in schools everyday [sic] with our #NoPlaceForHate program:” and linking an article from CBS Philly.

That tweet, by the oh-so-highly authoritative ADL (which takes in $52 million a year … of which it pays itself $32 million in salaries), has received all of zero replies, 11 retweets and 16 heart icons, in two weeks and two days.

Interestingly, what led to the tweet of the CBS Philly article was a thread which originated with the ADL’s retweet of a Buzzfeed tweet saying “Kids are quoting Trump to bully their classmates and teachers don’t know what to do about it,” which included a link.

The ADL has been in the news this past week due to public outrage toward its donation-from-leftist-bigots-driven fundraising effort to put targets on prominent Trump supporters.
As reported here Tuesday:
One of the more powerful liberal propaganda houses, known as the “Anti-Defamation League”, published a murder hit list Tuesday on reported “Alt-Right” and “Alt-Lite” “extremists” in America.
Apparently the only qualifiers for “extremism” are patriotism, the belief in small government, and support for the current president (according to the left).
Make no mistake about it, the ADL posted this disgusting report as a hit on ALL Donald Trump supporters.
The report put a target on ALL Trump supporters — most notably the conservatives and some they brand as “Alt Right” and “Alt Light” activists mentioned in their report.

… Mike Cernovich led the Trump movement in the run-up to the 2016 election and broke numerous anti-Hillary stories.
Gavin McInnes leads the Proud Boys (a patriotic American fraternity) movement and is an extremely popular radio host at both Rebel Media and Compound Media.
Popular New Right reporter Jack Posobiec also made the list. He actually held a rally AGAINST political violence.
Lucian Wintrich is The Gateway Pundit’s White House Correspondent and made the list because of his skyrocketing popularity and charisma. Lucian is a popular campus speaker and media magnate, having been profiled in dozens of publications from The New Yorker and Hollywood Reporter to several papers internationally.
Lucian Wintrich is also an open gay conservative and the grandson of a Nazi occupation survivor. Lucian’s grandfather, a Jew, fled the Nazis in Poland and came to America penniless. Again – Lucian is the grandson of a Nazi occupation survivor – and yet the ADL is claiming that he is racist, anti-Semite and right-wing extremist.
The ADL, once known as the Anti-Defamation League, tends to present itself as the final arbiter of “hate,” with a current mission much more general (and, presumably, more financially lucrative, in part due to ongoing presentations at public schools) than its original one.
According to Wikipedia, the organization formerly known as “the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith” was founded in October 1913 [in the aftermath of the Leo Frank Affair] by the Independent Order of B’nai B’rith, a Jewish service organization in the United States, its original mission statement was “to stop, by appeals to reason and conscience and, if necessary, by appeals to law, the defamation of the Jewish people.”
In keeping with the now-apparently-universalist goals of the ADL, its Twitter page’s current cover photo features six people, which include a female in a hijab, three people of African descent and no one identifiably — or even who looks minimally stereotypically — Jewish.
In February, Notowitz, before apparently being replaced in the position as ADL Florida Chair by Tracey Grossman, was a prominent part of the ADL’s “Palm Beach Dinner Event,” held at Palm Beach’s beautiful Tideline Ocean Resort & Spa (motto: “Welcome To Your Private Oasis”). In fact, his picture, in the event’s required “cocktail attire,” made it into the “Shiny Sheet,” the society page of the Palm Beach Daily News.
Curiously, Scott Notowitz (who is known affectionately within Gateway Pundit as “Not a Scot. Not a Wit.”) does not appear to have asked Hillary Clinton how it feels “to be so hated,” despite the fact that a recent Bloomberg poll shows that she remains less popular than President Trump.
It is assumed that the taunting of President Trump is neither the official position of nor approved by Morgan Stanley, where Notowitz is a “wealth management advisor.”
As for the actual question that Notowitz salvoed, President Trump has not yet responded.
