How offended are YOU by Trump's most bigoted tweet yet?

Original post made by American Diversity vs Trumps clan, Menlo Park: other, on Jul 2, 2016

1st: Trump says Saudi Arabia can have nukes.

Now, in his most offensive tweet (to date) Trump offends all with a Star of David implying corruption.

Yahoo Finance:

Donald Trump drew widespread rebuke on Saturday with a tweet featuring a Star of David

The star, a symbol of Judaism, was on a backdrop of $100 bills and paired with a Fox News poll

The origins of the image are unclear, but the attack’s apparent anti-Semitic imagery prompted backlash on Twitter.

Trump has come under fire in the past for retweeting racially charged—and factually inaccurate—propaganda, and for counting known extremists, like former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke, among his supporters.

In an apparent response to the image Trump shared Saturday, Hillary Clinton’s camp tweeted a link to a “who’s who” of Trump’s extremist supporters on the candidate’s website with the message, “The company you keep says a lot about you (maybe no one ever told Donald Trump).

One imagines the donations from Sheldon Adelson are on hold.

I am extremely offended.

You?

I'm definitely offended by Donald Trump. He's crude, crass, clearly misogynistic and one of the least serious thinkers I've ever heard. I have no idea where he stands on any issue and his lack of gravity is truly scary.

But I'm also offended by the dissembling Hillary Clinton who is the very personification of elitism, entitlement and corporate cronyism. She has cashed in on "public service" to the tune of about $100 million. Cheney was a piker compared to Clinton.

What a choice.

why should anyone be surprised by this? The Trump campaign has been a political version of a dumpster fire from the moment it kicked off. This only confirms that there are no adults in the Trump Campaign HQ.

pogo -- "Cheney was a piker compared to Clinton."

Except that Cheney has the blood of thousands of young Americans (not to mention tens of thousands of Iraqis) on his hands.

My reference was clearly to "cashing in" and making money after her "public service."

Of course, feel free to dissemble [Portion removed; be respectful of fellow posters.]

@Pogo -- And you suppose that Cheney didn't do the same, if not more so? Remember a firm named Halliburton?

[Part removed. Don't use a disparaging version of a poster's name.] - Just because Fox "News" shouts it 24/7/365 doesn't make it the truth.

Trump knows that non-Christian people are not voting for him anyway. He is just catering to his base again. This is hardly the most bigoted thing he has posted.

the congressional report is out. Perhaps you heard about it. I don't watch FOX (faux) news.
