Donald Trump is many things--danger to to the Republic, nativist xenophobe, “birther” instigator, and I could go on, filling the page with Trump’s shortcomings. That is why it depresses me that that some people are trying to use one of his recent Twitter posts to suggest that he is an anti-Semite.
Evidently the image of a six-pointed star on a stack of money originally appeared on a racist Twitter account. That does not mean, however, that Trump is anti-Semite, knew of the connection, or vetted the source.
Why not attack Trump for the message that went along with the post, which called Clinton the “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!”
That is not campaigning, it is hurling insults, it is beneath presidential politics, and it sounds like a playground taunt. Focus, people, focus.
