Donald J. Trump/Twitter(NEW YORK) — Donald Trump, a prolific tweeter, on Saturday tweeted an apparently photoshopped image depicting Hillary Clinton in front of a background of cash and alongside a red six-pointed star in the shape of the Star of David.
Inside the star, a sentence reads, “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!”
Trump tweeted the image with the caption, “Crooked Hillary – Makes History! #ImWithYou #AmericaFirst.”
The tweet later disappeared from the Twitter feed of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. It was replaced by the same image except with the six-pointed star replaced by a circle.

In the meantime, however, a number of people on Twitter, including some journalists and political pundits, brought attention to the original tweet.
He'll let it circulate to his anti-Semitic audience for awhile. I'm saving in case he deletes, as he has in past. https://t.co/98LFhBFPlE

Seriously, Trump supporters like @Scaramucci @scottienhughes etc need to explain how this Trump Star of David tweet is remotely acceptable

Donald Trump is obviously pandering to right-wing hate groups with his use of the Star of David.
