Trump's Star of David meme was made by white supremacists

Donald Trump's 'Star of David' Tweet About Hillary Clinton Posted Weeks Earlier on Racist Feed

How are Trump supporters going to defend him this time? So much for Republicans being pro-Israel.

How many times does Trump need to re-post something made by white supremacists before people see it as more than just an accident?

 

[crjmurray]

Kind of a weird reoccurring thing.

 

[lasthero]

I'm genuinely curious who on his staff thought that was a good idea.

 

[Redac]

Oh, so it wasn't even something that the incompetent intern made, it's just something he saw and likely retweeted without much thought. That's even less of a story.

Southern Poverty Law Center, eh?

LOL!

It's the multiple times I find odd.

Literally Hitler!

Just to bring some perspective though, remember:

Shabazz: "Who is it that caught and killed Nat Turner?"
Audience: "Jews!"
Shabazz: "Who is it that controls the Federal Reserve?"
Audience: "Jews!"
Shabazz: "What? You're not scared, are you?"
Audience: "Jews! Jews!"
Shabazz: "Who is it that controls the media and Hollywood?"
Audience: "Jews! Jews!"
Shabazz: "Who is it that has our entertainers … and our athletes in a vice grip?"
Audience: "Jews!"

He re-posted something made by white supremacists, for white supremacists, with a white supremacist message. How is that not a story?

Trump really stepped in it this time. If you really think that Hillary or whoever the Democratic candidate is will forget this, you are wrong.

Something is not automatically wrong and evil because a racist said it or made it. The only thing people have taken issue with was the star shape; accusing Hillary of corruption isn't a white supremacist thing. If they'd just used the modified version to begin with, no one would even be talking about it.

But no, some intern didn't pay very good attention, and now liberals are in hysterics about how big a white supremacist Trump is.

Trump really stepped in it this time. If you really think that Hillary or whoever the Democratic candidate is will forget this, you are wrong.

It's just another case of liberals finding something to be upset about and trying to make it into the thing that destroys Trump. I'll be shocked if this lasts longer than a week or so at most.

You are deluded if you think only liberals are going to care about this.

Donald Trump is the most overtly racist presidential candidate since George Wallace. Even if Trump himself is not racist, he's clearly attempting to benefit from the racism of his supporters.

If you want to know the real meaning of this meme, why not ask the creator of it? After all, this is already an international news story:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...sident-Obama-elected-liberal-white-guilt.html

It was never intended to be just a sheriff's badge or whatever dumb thing Trump's supporters are saying. Ask the person who created it. It's a Star of David with a backdrop of hundred dollar bills, in order to imply that Jews are greedy, an old stereotype which was used by Hitler to justify the Holocaust.

The whole world is watching. Trump is an embarrassment to our country.

White guilt did elect Obama.

You think this is very far off, or just antisemitic because someone said the word "jew"?

I thought it was black people?

wut?

I'm sure that Paul Ryan is really regretting endorsing Trump. Any true Republican should be embarrassed! What would Reagan do, who loved Israel and the Jewish people?

This will definitely cost down-ticket Republicans votes, which is why they are already distancing themselves from Trump. Whether one likes Trump or not, it's time to accept reality.

I admire how hard you are trying here.

You are deluded if you think only liberals are going to care about this.

I think only liberals are going to go on and on about it and pretend that it shows that Trump is a crypto-Nazi.

Donald Trump is the most overtly racist presidential candidate since George Wallace. Even if Trump himself is not racist, he's clearly attempting to benefit from the racism of his supporters.

If you think this, you have absolutely no idea what people who actually hold racialist views really sound like.

I'm aware. I get around the internet plenty.

an old stereotype which was used by Hitler to justify the Holocaust.

Well that's a view of the roots of the Holocaust that is incredibly simplistic.

The whole world is watching. Trump is an embarrassment to our country.

People found plenty of reasons to look down on us and feel superior before Trump ran, and they'll find other reasons when it's all over.

This only works if you ignore all the things Trump has said in support of Israel.

This is a discussion board, not your blog. Are you interested in actual discussion or do you just want to tell everyone what they should think?

The photo your using is from a public event where Obama was speaking, to commemorate Selma. Shabazz also spoke at the event.

There's nothing to it. Unless you think being in the same picture frame as someone in public means you're directly associated with them. Which you might, if you're a Trump fan.
