Trump tweet attacking Hillary employs image of Jewish star
NEW YORK: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Saturday tweeted an image of rival Hillary Clinton alongside hundred-dollar bills and a Jewish star bearing the words "most corrupt candidate ever!", prompting outrage and bafflement on social media.
Two hours after his initial tweet, Trump tweeted a similar image in which the six-pointed star of David - which appears on Israel’s flag and which Jews were forced to wear on their clothing by the Nazis during the Holocaust - was replaced by a circle. The original tweet was deleted. Critics said the image featuring the star harkened back to centuries-old anti-Semitic stereotypes, such as the belief that Jews are greedy. "Just saw #DonaldTrump’s star of David tweet. I’m impressed by his ability to find a way to insult literally every kind of human being," screenwriter Cole Haddon wrote on Twitter. "A star of David, a pile of cash, and suggestions of corruption. Donald Trump again plays to the white supremacists," wrote Erick Erickson, a conservative radio host who has been critical of Trump. The tweets originated from Trump’s account, @realDonaldTrump, and ** other users were mentioned in them. It was **t clear whether someone inside Trump’s campaign made the image or whether he found it somewhere else. Hope Hicks, a spokeswoman for Trump, did **t respond to a request for comment. The presumptive Republican **minee has been trying to assuage fears within his own party that he is alienating potential voters with offensive statements about Muslims, Lati**s and women. Last month, Trump fired his campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and began delivering speeches using a teleprompter, an abrupt change in style that was seen as an attempt to appear more presidential ahead of the **v 8 election. Saturday’s tweet was a reminder of the unrestrained side of Trump. The candidate has mocked a disabled newspaper reporter, referred to undocumented immigrants from Mexico as "rapists" and recently pointed to a black man in the crowd at one of his rallies and called him "my African-American." أكثر... ??????? ??????: Trump tweet attacking Hillary employs image of Jewish star || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
