The infamous anti-Semetic Trump tweet |
It is literally
impossible for Donald Trump to let America forget about what an awful
person he is for one day.
Trump’s campaign has been getting wrecked over the past week
thanks to a blatantly anti-Semitic tweet he sent out a few days ago.
The tweet was a meme with the Star of David slapped over an
anti-Hillary Clinton graphic – a meme that was traced back to a
website frequented by white supremacists and neo-Nazis.
It doesn’t seem possible, but Trump has managed to make the
situation even worse.
At a rally in Ohio on Wednesday night, Trump went on an insane
rant about how unfair it was that his offensive tweet had to be
taken down and is getting so much negative attention.
The Donald repeatedly insisted that the Star of David is
actually just a regular star (or a sheriff’s star) and that the “dishonest”
media are actually the ones who are profiling – not him.
In Donald Trump's twisted mind, there is no difference between the image his campaign took from Neo-Nazi websites and this Disney image. |
Trump went out of his way to go after CNN, or the “Clinton News
Network,” for rightfully calling him out on the anti-Semitic tweet,
labeling the network and the rest of the media “sick.”
Then, Trump complained that he’d had to alter the meme (by putting
a circle over the Star of David) and pull the original off of social media.
He whined that his social media director, Dan Scavino,
“shouldn’t have taken it down.”
It’s clear that Trump doesn’t give a sh*t if
his meme carried a super offensive or oppressive message.
All that matters in Trump’s mind is that he’s
right, everyone else is wrong, and he can do whatever the hell he wants without
being called out on his bigotry.
