2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI am 100% sure Rump's use of the Star of David was deliberate.
Rump was throwing his hard right supporters a little red meat, plain and simple. He's too stupid to understand that the blowback would be far worse than any benefits from this stunt. Yay for low IQ Repukes!

(22,077 posts)The list of groups that Donald Trump has insulted FOR YEARS is too long to catalog for fear of forgetting to include a couple more. It's easier to list the people he hasn't insulted: himself.
Donald Trump has not earned the benefit of the doubt that it was an honest mistake to use that shape in the not-so-veiled anti-semitic image his campaign Tweeted. He doesn't get that benefit because he squandered any goodwill years ago with his expressed hatred of everyone except himself. He's even insulted and demeaned his own family!
The fact that he will be the Republican nominee for president is a sobering statement about Republicans, their values and their supporters. These are our fellow American citizens.
They've also misplayed their hands by trying to make this about the media, as if the media manufactured this firestorm. It's a disgusting piece of white supremacist propaganda and yet their campaign is still defending it. Blaming the media isn't going to help, they should have apologized and said it was a mistake.

(22,077 posts)Donald Trump doesn't now how to let something go. He has consistently continued his fights when he should just drop the subject. But he can't. Because of his fragile ego, Mr. Trump needs to have the last word to show everyone that he's the smartest and toughest guy in the room. He did this with the judge in his lawsuit over his so-called university. He's done it with the Republicans he vanquished in the primaries. And he's done it with his childish and disgusting insults against Secretary Clinton.
He can't help himself.
Did I mention that Donald Trump is an idiot?

(34,845 posts)Other groups have the same level of contempt for other demographics. Same hate, different target.
