Tsk tsk...
And it was replaced with something worse in many ways..

So now Donald is also an anti-Semite.. good to know.
[FONT="]The original graphic, which depicted the Democratic presumptive nominee over a pile of money, contained the text “most corrupt candidate ever” in a six-sided star, reminiscent of the Jewish star of David.

[FONT="]Unlike the original graphic, the updated image contained the text “America First”, a phrase the Anti-Defamation League has previously asked Trump to stop using because of antisemitic connotations. The phrase gained currency in the 1930s with Americans who wanted the US to avoid involvement in the second world war; most prominent among them was Charles Lindbergh. The American pilotwas welcomed in Nazi Germany several times before the war and in 1939 wrote that “racial strength is vital”.
[FONT="]Lindbergh largely led the America First movement in the months before the war, advocating for neutrality. In its plea to Trump, the ADL described Lindbergh as a man who “sympathized with the Nazis and whose rhetoric was characterized by anti-Semitism and offensive stereotypes”.[/FONT]
