Donald Trump would have made little fanfare had he merely tweeted an image of Hillary Clinton with a backdrop of money with the caption, “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!”
But when the caption was placed inside a Star of David, the tweet took on a whole new meaning. Such imagery is intended to leave the impression that Hillary is controlled by “Jewish money” and Trump isn’t. That Trump deleted the tweet as if he had never sent it only makes matters worse.
Trump has tried to present himself as a friend of the Jews and of Israel. But when Trump questions Israel’s commitment to making peace, claims he will be a neutral when it comes to Israel and the Palestinians, makes haste in disavowing David Duke and now tweets out blatantly anti-Semitic imagery which originally appeared on a white supremacist website, he is no friend of Jews or of Israel. With friends like Donald Trump, who needs enemies?
God only knows why Trump sees fit to behave in this manner. But when it is all said and done, instead of drawing attention to Hillary Clinton’s deficient character Trump has again succeeded in drawing attention to his own utter lack of redeeming values.
