Trump deletes tweet using Star of David after backlash

[Mechanicos]

If Trump was quoting Louis Farrakhan, I'd be expressing outrage.  But he's tweeting white supremacists.

I was here when La Raza Supremacists attacked Trump supporters in CA. You were silent to them.

As expected from this poster.

trump will go down as a stain on our country. In fact he already is a blot on our country along with the bigotry and racism he is encouraging through his campaign. the massive support he receives from the supremacist groups and the willful ignoring of this fact by many of his supporters is unprecedented and baffles me. Just don't tell me that trump and the SCOTUS picks outweigh everything else. It doesn't. trump has shown in many aspects he is worse than hillary, even though that would seem impossible.

Could never vote for trump. Can not understand how anyone could vote for him at this point.

Bottom line there is no question about the purpose of the star of david in this graphic. It is out of place and another outline would normally have been used. that is why it was deleted within hours. Don't tell it is no big deal and play games that "sometimes a graphic is just a graphic".  This time the graphic was meant to send a message by the creator (which probably was not trump)...an anti-semitic message.

Most of Trump's supporters are angry bigots who feel like something has been stolen from them by Jews, foreigners or minorities. Sad these rubes are being played and aren't even bright enough to know it.

Nice,but I have no idea how to add it to the site.

I disagree. IMO,most are just mad at the way the left in both branches of the ruling party have screwed them and the country.

And they a right to be mad. I'm mad,too. I just wish there were someone worth supporting running in place of Trump.

No fear, Trump is held to the same high standards by his followers as Clinton is by hers.

Sad but True.

‘Star of David’ Fake Controversy Shows Media Contempt for Donald Trump’s Supporters
Joseph Murray  July 3rd



Hillary Clinton was grilled by the feds for hours concerning her emails and her husband Bill had a private meeting with the Attorney General supposedly overseeing the investigation — but the establishment media is feverishly focused on a single Trump tweet showing a six-point star.

The tweet posted by the presumptive Republican nominee contained a poster in which Hillary took center place with the words “history made”. Then in a six-point star – much like a sale advert – the words “most corrupt candidate ever” were written. Simple enough

@WAC

Thank you very much for your contribution/POV on this thread.

Funny how that star shape does show up in other places:

[NavyCanDo]

I sure don't want to be accused of defending The Orange Buffoon,but if I hadn't read the complaint I would have never noticed the resemblance to the Star of David. It doesn't even have any connecting lines running through it.

You have never seen a IDF Air Force plane?   No connecting line on the Blue Star of David on the planes wings or fuslage.   Same with IDF combat medals and uniform insignia.

For those trying to confuse the issue with the "a star's a star" bull...

... here's the animation at the top of our own website for the Fourth of July.

Are they stars of David?

No, they aren't stars of David. Go look at the flag of Israel if one is not aware of what the Star of David looks like.

[TomSea]

Are five pointed stars pentagrams? They don't have to be upside-down stars or even be within a circle.  It might be silly to label those who use such a star as having something to do with the occult.

[cato potatoe]

If Trump had a campaign, his campaign manager would have commandeered the Twitter account.  Oh sure, Donald would be allowed to submit tweets for approval.  But somebody needs to filter the urban legends, the white supremacy, and spelling errors.  It would be hilarious if it weren't so tragic.

The media is going to do this to any GOP candidate regardless if it was Trump, Cruz, Kasich....

Trump makes it easy for them. But the point of the article is true. Whatever one thinks of this star controversy the fact is it does pale in comparison to what the Clintons have done

What a Jewish star Really looks like:

[sneakypete]

You have never seen a IDF Air Force plane?   

If I ever did I didn't pay any attention to it.

Does this mean Sheriff Ted,whose badge is show several times on this thread was a Jew?

I wonder if he knew?

Sometimes a star is just a star.

[Neverdul]

How do you know it wasn't a Jew at the printer who without thinking just put in a 6 point star after being told to put a star in the picture.  You don't really thing the Orange Pompous One drew and printed the damn thing,do you?

Trump does enough astoundingly stupid stuff on purpose that we don't need to make up stuff to have a reason to be offended or amused by what he does.

Guilt by association with  people he doesn't even know?

I hate to say it,but some of the posters here sound like the Dims or the Neo-Nazi's themselves.

Lighten up,people! Sometimes a cigar is just a damn cigar,and anybody that honestly thinks Trump designed that picture is a fool. Somebody on his staff hired somebody else to design it,and maybe even someone else to print and publish it.

I don’t think you understand how the internet or how Twitter works.  For one thing, no printer, Jew or otherwise was involved. This wasn’t a pamphlet or flyer or printed poster or a printed ad -  no need for any printer or any “printing”.  It was an electronic image, a jpg, one that is easily created by anyone with even a modicum of skill and using something like Photoshop, Publisher or any number of free tools.

I have no doubt that Trump did not create the jpeg image himself nor do I believe anyone directly in the Trump campaign created it.  The question is who did?

https://mic.com/articles/147711/donald-trump-s-star-of-david-hillary-clinton-meme-was-created-by-white-supremacists#.4Nn1fWL6B

Mic discovered Sunday that Donald Trump's Twitter account wasn't the first place the meme appeared. The image was previously featured on /pol/ — an Internet message board for the alt-right, a digital movement of neo-Nazis, anti-Semites and white supremacists newly emboldened by the success of Trump's rhetoric — as early as June 22, over a week before Trump's team tweeted it.     

So how did Trump (or someone in the campaign) find that particular image to post on his Twitter feed, if not from the neo-Nazi site where it was originally posted and not found anywhere else?

[sneakypete]

The two triangles 6 pointed star I easily recognize as the Star of David. The rest are just stars.

Sounds like you are implying it could have been anyone BUT a Jew. What makes you think a Jew wasn't able to do it?

>>I have no doubt that Trump did not create the jpeg image himself nor do I believe anyone directly in the Trump campaign created it.  The question is who did?<<

Since it obviously wasn't The Orange Pompous,who cares?

>>So how did Trump (or someone in the campaign) find that particular image to post on his Twitter feed, if not from the neo-Nazi site where it was originally posted and not found anywhere else?

Dunno and don't care. Maybe someone just saw it in a image search for stars,and didn't pay any attention to it's origins? The point is it wasn't Trump that picked it out. He hires minions to do stuff like that for him.

I think the only reason this became a big deal in the media is because the media was trying to take attention away from Bubbette! going in to be  questioned by the Feebs for her actual crimes involving the disclosure of classified information.  It's a diversion,nothing more.

[HonestJohn]

No, they aren't stars of David. Go look at the flag of Israel if one is not aware of what the Star of David looks like.

So one has to make a choice to pick a star of David instead, as it's not the default choice.

... using Breitbart to argue this point is akin to using Der Stormer in WWII.

Dishonest media is trying their absolute best to depict a star in a tweet as the Star of David rather than a Sheriff's Star, or plain star

I smell fear from Trump.

If it was a plain star, Donald, why did you take it down?
