Trump tweets Star of David in front of pile of cash

Post Reply New Topic

He's getting a lot of flack over it:

The way I see it is this: "Ye shall know them by their fruits."

You know, there might be plausible deniability for tweeting a picture of Hillary with a Star of David next to her in front of a pile of cash, which resembles crap posted previously on Antisemitic white supremacist forums; there might be plausible deniability for being slow to disavow Antisemitic white supremacist David Duke; there might be for all the other instances of apparent dog-whistling on the part of Donald Trump.

But I tell you this: There is no plausible deniability for all of this as a whole, for all of this happening time and time and time again, for bearing racist fruit time and time and time again.

As we have been taught: "Ye shall know them by their fruits," and a huge chunk of Donald Trump's fruit reeks of racism.

Actually, I think too much is being made out of a lot of this crap from both sides. That star may just be a star and you know I don't like Hillary and I do believe she is against Israel. Both sides need to stick to the facts of what each candidate is for and vote according to who you think is best for the country. All this little nitpicking stupid stuff is getting old.

Go Big T! (x3)

This is also why I never do Facebook or Twitter or any other social media - it can bite you in the butt.

Trump has suggested the star may just be a sheriff's star. I call BS on that:

Exhibit A

This is a sheriff's star:



This is the picture Trump tweeted:



Note the lack of circles on the points of the star in the picture of Hillary. Sheriff's stars will always have circles on the points. The star in the second image more closely resembles the Star of David. Also, it is common for Antisemites to associate Jews with greed, so they are often caricaturized by Antisemites as having lots of money. In the second image, the star is clearly superimposed upon a pile of cash. Coincidence?

Exhibit B

This image had reportedly been originally posted on an Antisemitic white supremacist web forum:

My take

I say Trump's doing that trick like where you deliberately bump into someone and claim it's an accident. It may work once or twice, Mr. Trump, but if you keep doing it people are going to catch on and think "maybe it wasn't an accident, maybe it was deliberate."

It looks like Jewish groups and the Israeli news media are all over this:

Just a star, eh?

Here is where the picture was originally posted (see near the bottom of the page):

Some nice quotes from that same web-page:

- "Jews are two-faced backstabbers who aren't to be trusted? We must inform /pol/ of this discovery."
- "There is nothing at all suprising about this. We know they're all jewish puppets. Why would this suprise anyone at this point? They're all globalist jews and they don't even f*****g try to hide it anymore. There is no such thing as a republican beyond Trump."
- "Although I wouldn't put it past the k**es to assassinate Hillary to avoid Trump."
- "I keep seeing this, and you subversive k**es aren't fooling anyone with this subtle shill. You're insulting uncle Adolf, not the other way around."
- "So this is going to be the new one. Just in the last hour, catching up on threads, I've seen this k**ery from 2 other shills. Loyalty. 14/88"
- "are we sure he's not a crypto-k**e? His nose is f****d up, his ears point out way too much, he has really bad sleepy-eyes… I'm telling you guys. Something's not right about that guy. I always thought so."

BTW, as for the 14/88 mention above, see this:

Oh, and remember this?

I think it's just a star. Since when is Trump subtle?

its a retweet of something somebody tweeted to him, millions of people tweet at him every day

Trump doesn't sit around on photoshop creating this stuff

also a shape of a hexagram does not equal the star of David

manufactured controversy and outrage, what else is new

Trump hates Jews so much that his daughter married and converted to one! Just pure nonsense.

Dude, I didn't even read your post because Trump's daughter and son-in-law are Jewish. I think my time can be better spent than listening to this non-sense topic.

About Trump being racist, I see a lot of people desperately trying to prove he is clutching at straws like this one, nothing solid.

A real Star of David consists of two equilateral triangle (three side figures) configured vertex up and vertex down with interlacing of the sides.

Trump has said a great deal that is insulting to hispanics and Muslims. I have yet to hear him say anything against Jews. Trying to pin the Yellow Star of Antisemitism on Trump is a desparation move.

Trump reminds me of King Vortigern in "Merlin".

Vortigern: "That is a mistake many of my enemies make. They think before they act. I act before I think'.

I read the Israel Times piece.

It was straight forward reporting

The few comments I read below the article were pro Trump

Desperation? Hardly. Mr. Trump's racism seems to be confined to no one race in particular.

And by endorsing Mr. Trump, people are endorsing his racism, as well ... and his sexism ... his lies ... his overall ignorance ...

There is nothing racist or sexist about Trump

Trump is the only alternative to the globalists who are turning this into a third world country

It is true that Trump's daughter and grandchild are Jewish, as is his son-in-law, so I get it: it's a hard argument that he is an Antisemite. The fact of the matter is, Trump probably doesn't even believe half the sh*t he spews. But he knows that stupid racists - who include not just the members of white supremacist groups who number in the hundreds or thousands, but also the millions who log into those white supremacist sites but keep their hate to themselves - will vote for him if he uses their rhetoric in coded language they can't miss, such as the recent Star of David tweet he had picked up on a Neo-Nazi website. He holds these people in absolute contempt, even as he uses them to reach the White House with a smirk on his face. The thing is, Trump doesn't consider the ramifications of courting and empowering the racist lunatic fringe, who will be expecting something if he is indeed elected to the Presidency.

Trump retweets a picture with a 6 pointed star, that's it. That's not the the Star of David. There is nothing racist or even offensive about that picture, Hillary is corrupt and that is the truth.

Trump is pretty explicitly pro-Jewish and pro-Israel, he makes this clear every time he can. He's a real estate mogul from Manhattan, nobody is going to believe he's an antisemite. Trying to argue Trump is a racist at all is a hard sell considering his metropolitan lifestyle and having been in the public eye 30-40 years.

Your theory is crackpot, yes there is this secret plan to court the tens of millions of secret KKK members by "coded" racism that activate them like some Manchurian Candidate. It's stupid, I'm sorry. You have a real low opinion or paranoid view of your fellow Americans if you think there is this massive hidden white supremacist bloc.
