    Here’s the thing, either Trump or his campaign staff are purposely re-appropriating racists memes and retweeting White Supremacists or they are so incompetent they keep making this same mistake over and over again.

    So either they are vile racists or complete morons. My vote is for both.

    Somehow none of the other candidates in this election cycle seem to have this problem.

    Anyway, nice job pissing off the Jews, Trump. Certainly that will help you down the line seeing as they control all the media and whatnot.

      Posts racist things, gets racist supporters. Defends himself, gets non-racist supporters. Blames media, gets supporters who hate the media. It may seem fucked up, but I can see some strategy in it.

      But the people he will repulse far outweigh the people he will attract.

      However, it is the only play in his playbook. It is all he knows how to do so in that sense I can see him constantly falling back on it.

      He can’t pivot to the general because everything that gave him strength was in playing to small rooms of the literal worst America has to offer.

    Once upon a time, the adult thing to do would have been to apologize for causing offense even if you didn’t mean to.

    Back when people didn’t think apologies showed weakness for some reason...

      Showing strength is more important than being right or good for the people this message is directed at.

      Right, but is it really showing strength? I mean not apologizing is easy.

    The very idea that you can still see the points of the star beneath the circle in their doctored image proves that a) they lifted the image direct from A FREAKING WHITE SUPREMACIST WEBSITE, because if it had been their own image, they could have just removed the star, rather than having to doctor a locked file, and b) they’re too cheap and/or untalented to have an in-house team to design their own freaking image, rather than lifting one from A FREAKING WHITE SUPREMACIST WEBSITE!

    Jesus, they couldn’t even be bothered to make the circle big enough so you could no longer see the points of the star. There are so many layers to the idiocy, it starts to defy all sense of reason and sanity.

      Which is why the only reasonable, sane conclusion is that Trump is trying to sink his OWN presidential run.

    Well it’s nice that they’re giving us a choice in which lie to believe in. I think I’m going to go with the “plain star” lie, since everyone knows that a sheriff’s badge has round circles at each point — and it wouldn’t make sense to use a sheriff’s badge graphic in that context. Of course, the real question is why did they replace the “plain star” graphic if they're claiming that it wasn't offensive in the first place?

      Yeah, weird how it’s the media being dishonest when it was the campaign that deleted and replaced the tweet.

      Also, didn’t they crop off the watermark from original image when they changed it from a star of david to a circle? Obviously, they were covering up where they got the image from.

    Let us not forget that before Trump had a daughter who converted and Jewish grandchildren, he was no stranger to playing to Jewish stereotypes (shocking, I know).

    The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yamakas every day.

      It may not be neo-nazi hate speech but it demonstrates how he thinks. He thinks of people as stereotypes. Find the video where he speaking in front of a Jewish group (not the big first so-called policy speech but one a bit before that). The Jewish audience was not amused by him talking about how the people in the room were the best deal makers in the world.

      His daughter married a Jewish guy in a religious ceremony, so I would hope he might at least recognize it.

      ETA: Come to think of it, this could be the root of his anti-semitism. A Jew fucking his daughter instead of him?!

    I’m still waiting for him to start a band called “Dishonest Media” so that he can keep his loyal supporters entertained while “trolling” the media with (someone else’s) lyrics. It’ll be the YUGEST band ever!

    But in all seriousness, it’s just yet another dumbass tweet from him. I’m still waiting for his “47%” moment to bury himself for good.

      Not his supports obviously, but others. There are probably those who are not that loyal who still think he would be a good president.
