Gee, I wonder how the Trump campaign found that image.

Not much has changed with Donald Trump.   As bad as the real left is,  Trump is no better.

Donald Trump finally has a response to the controversy of his Star of David tweet: It’s your mistake, not mine.

Two days after Trump tweeted — and swiftly deleted — a Hillary Clinton attack ad featuring a Star of David over a pile of money, the monster mogul on Monday fell back on the ridiculous claim that the image shows a “Sheriff’s Star.”

“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!” he tweeted in the morning.

He recycled the sheriff’s badge excuse after several Trump surrogates — including his fired campaign manager Corey Lewandowski — tried it out in the media over the weekend.

The GOP needs to stand up to Trump after his latest neo-Nazi nod

 


But Trump’s tweet failed to cover any of the ethical — or logical — gaps from his controversial tweet.

For one thing, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee didn’t explain how the image made its way from a neo-Nazi message board to his 9.4 million Twitter followers.

He offered no explanation for why he deleted the original tweet within minutes, then replaced it with an identical image, featuring a circle poorly Photoshopped over the Star of David.

 Not a Star of David.



Donald Trump's initial tweet featured a Star of David. He now says it could have been a sheriff's badge, even though such badges typically have circles on their six points.

He also seemed unaware that a sheriff’s badge — while indeed having six points — usually has circles at the end of those points, which were nowhere to be seen on the star he tweeted.

Trump’s campaign has still yet to comment on the tweet. But Clinton's campaign attacked him for it in a statement Tuesday.

"Donald Trump’s use of a blatantly anti-Semitic image from racist websites to promote his campaign would be disturbing enough, but the fact that it’s a part of a pattern should give voters major cause for concern," the presumptive Democratic nominee's campaign said.

"Now, not only won't he apologize for it, he's peddling lies and blaming others. Trump should be condemning hate, not offering more campaign behavior and rhetoric that engages extremists."

In his second tweet with the Clinton meme, Trump used the hashtag “America First” — which he used again Monday morning in a Fourth of July tweet.

The Anti-Defamation League has repeatedly warned Trump to stop using that phrase in his campaign, since it is the name of an anti-Semitic, isolationist organization from World War II.

As much as I don't like Donald Trump and don't trust him,  Hillary Clinton is as phony as a 3 dollar bill.  G-d willing,  a miracle will happen instead of one of these two individuals becoming President of the United States:

Pot calls kettle black


Above is the infamous tweet that has been branded (with some justification, although I have my doubts that Trump is sharp enough to have noticed) anti-Semitic. The New York Times reports that Hillary Clinton has blasted Donald Trump for his anti-Semitic tweet.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign said on Monday that an image posted by Donald J. Trump on Twitter over the weekend that showed a photo of Mrs. Clinton against a backdrop of $100 bills and a Star of David was “blatantly anti-Semitic.”


The post accused Mrs. Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, of being the “most corrupt candidate ever.” But critics seized on the episode as the latest example of a longtime pattern of racially charged remarks by Mr. Trump, saying the post was meant to exploit stereotypes against Jewish people.
No, I'm not excusing Trump, and yes, I think he needs to get the neo-Nazis out of his campaign. But Hillary Clinton accusing anyone else of being an anti-Semite is rich with irony (via American Thinker).

In his book American Evita, Christopher Anderson writes.

At a time when elements of the American Left embraced the Palestinian cause and condemned Israel, Hillary was telling friends that she was "sympathetic" to the terrorist organization and admired its flamboyant leader, Yasser Arafat. When Arafat made his famous appearance before the UN General Assembly in November 1974 wearing his revolutionary uniform and his holster on his hip, Bill "was outraged like everybody else," said a Yale Law School classmate. But not Hillary, who tried to convince Bill that Arafat was a "freedom fighter" trying to free his people from their Israeli "oppressors." (1)
Of course Hillary's feelings about the PLO and Israel are only one aspect of her character, often a person's true nature is more closely revealed in a more intimate setting. In an early showcase of Hillary's diplomatic skills Christopher Anderson relates an experience that she and her future husband had during a trip to Arkansas in 1973.

It was during this trip to his home state that Bill took Hillary to meet a politically well connected friend. When they drove up to the house, Bill and Hillary noticed that a menorah-the seven branched Hebrew candelabrum (not to be confused with the more common and subtler mezuzah)-has been affixed to the front door.

 "My daddy was half Jewish," explained Bill's friend. "One day when he came to visit , my daddy placed the menorah on my door because he wanted me to be proud that we were part Jewish. And I wasn't about to say no to my daddy."

 To his astonishment, as soon as Hillary saw the menorah, she refused to get out of the car. "Bill walked up to me and said that she was hot and tired, but later he explained the real reason." According to the friend and another eyewitness, Bill said, "I'm sorry, but Hillary's really tight with the people in the PLO in New York. They're friends of hers, and she just doesn't feel right about the menorah." (2)
 The pot (Hillary Clinton) is calling the kettle (Donald Trump) black....

There is also a Disney Coloring book based on the film, Frozen with the same star on the cover.   Where is the outrage over that?
