It's also a Sheriff's star, and a dodecagon. You know? With all the actual crazy crap the guy says and does, do we really need to try and pick out silly **** like this, that only makes his opposition look petty and ignorant? You don't actually think that Trump sat down with his crayons and drew this, do you? An advertising firm made this, and they just picked a graphic from a choice of graphic stars to use as a background for the text.

The OP article and its supposed outrage is just absolutely silly.

The six pointed star is superimposed over money. Nope, no stereo-typing there. <wink, wink>

Perhaps, but where were Trump's political people? This is amateur hour ****!

Seriously, is he doing this himself and just not thinking? Are his campaign staffers idiots?

Can you guys perhaps be a bit more sensitive?

Also, since when did the Jews own that star shape? I was unaware that even using the star shape was referring to Jews.

You guys are in default mode butthurt.

How is anybody baffled? I it's obvious that he is accusing the Jews of owning and controlling Hillary with their money, but not him, he is self financed and nobody can buy him.

I'm baffled that nobody on his staff saw it.

Either Trump has exclusively hired people as unaware as himself, or (and this is my own pet theory) nobody contradicts the Trumpmeister and keeps his job.

Or maybe the entire thing was intentional. He is pandering to his white base as usual, and the white nationalists will especially love this.

This is probably true.

It's funny watching these Trump supporters make excuses and defend this. I am sure the liberals are happy to watch a bunch a conservatives defend a race baiting hack while the GOP burns to the ground.

Why do you think they would notice?

Trump is a huge moron, but I'm pretty ignorant on this stuff. this seems like a reach to me.

but hey, the voters on the left fall for this stuff all the time - like binders of women.

The headline on Stormfront is "Glorious Leader Tweets Hillary Image with Dollars and Jew Star"


Really.


"Hero Trump has made history yet again by tweeting a meme of Hillary Clinton featuring her image with a Star of David over top hundred dollar bills. Inside the Jew star it reads “Most corrupt candidate ever!”


It is indeed true that she is the most corrupt candidate ever, and it is also indeed true that the overwhelming majority of her corruption money comes from Jew sources.


This is, yet again, dog-whistling by The Leader. It comes just after he made some offensive comments about Israel being our friend – he says this for the evangelicals, then he signals to us – his real supporters – that we need not worry, he is just shilling a bit to get into power at which point he will shut down the entire Jew agenda."

To be fair, I give out a decent bit of Trump hate on here, and I would never have drawn a connection between the Star of David and the red star shape they used in the ad if someone hadn't of pointed it out.

As for the believability of Trump/his people screwing this up, remember that Trump made a speech in Scotland about how great it was that they had voted to leave in the Brexit, when the majority of Scotland had voted to stay in the EU.

You really should have wrapped quote tags around that instead of just quotation marks. I actually thought you were a Stormfronter until I noticed your number of posts on here.
