Trump: Media Focused on Star of David To Get Off FBI News

Donald Trump has a theory as to why the media were so obsessed with his recent anti-Hillary tweet that featured a star pundits say resembled the star of David.

They are focusing on the tweet to "get off FBI news" regarding Hillary's emails, Trump insisted at a rally in Cincinnati, Ohio on Wednesday night.

It was an anti-Semitic message, many media figures insisted. Trump pushed back at that assumption, noting he has Jewish family members he loves and admires. If anything, the star looked more like a sheriff's badge than the star of David, he said.

Trump then sounded off on outlets like CNN for wasting coverage on the non-scandal.

"These are sick people," he said.

Unlike the media, Trump put Clinton's email scandal in the spotlight at his rally, spending several minutes reading all of the former secretary of state's false statements.

"She has got bad judgment," he said, while also offering her a new nickname - "dirty, rotten liar."

well yes, the MSM is full of dishonest propagandistic scumbags, who would far rather babble about empty anti-Trump stories than cover real, hard news about real Clinton scandals!!

Sure worked for Paul Ryan. He jumped on the diss Trump wagon immediately without even seeing the ad.
Someone should forward the Disney FROZEN sticker page to Ryan. Ryan owes Trump an apology.

Totally contrived by the purveyors of the images that move and speak (managed MSM) and the team clinton daily faxed in talking points/marching orders,

The clintons are slipping, their media manipulations used to be much more subtle, just meaning they were much better at it in times past,

Maybe its because an above the law wicked hillary just really isn’t that much to work with,

So why is he still focusing on the star of David flap and not spending all his time attacking Hillary over the FBI decision?

Uh, I believe he multi tasked and did both here, along with skewering the media for its bias. A three fer.

But maybe you were being sarcastic.

It goes hand in hand, a target rich environment, Media, Hillary, ‘RATS.

Trump CAN multi-task.

Yep. Just like these police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota are the new cause celeb.

The wing of the GOP that is dissing Trump can shove it too.

Not just the star issue. On the day Comey announced I saw Wolfe on CNN say “We have breaking news on the FBI announcement. But first we have a guest to explain why Trump can’t get endorsements from other republicans.” Nothing about Hillary for the next 10 minutes until I turned it off.

Trump, a billionaire from New York who has grandkids that are jewish seems an unlikely candidate to be called Antisemitic.
Especially seeing as Hillary isn’t Jewish the “star of david” hoopla doesn’t even make sense.

I wonder if there are actual jewish people complaining about this or just white people complaining for them?

That doesn’t surprise me one bit. The Clinton media is ignoring the Clinton crimes and thinks we should too.

Keep campaigning against the media, Mr. Trump.

Out here in flyover country they are loathed and hated with a white-hot seething hatred.

Everybody recognizes that a political ad in an election year is of more importance than Hillary blatantly and intentionally violating the law and endangering the security of the United States.

I fail to see how anyone can claim that Hillary violated the law and endangered the security of the United States without premeditated intent.

Setting up a private server requires detailed planning. Using it for top secret messaging reveals planned intent to violate the law.

With the least amount of time spent on Clinton and the FBI issue. I didn't realize that the twitter posting flap was the more important issue. My bad.

But maybe you were being sarcastic.

I wasn't until now.

Let's see if I've got this figured out:

The Star of David is a religious symbol for Judaism. It is just a shape (outline). It's composed of two equilateral triangles which intersect to form a concave regular dodegon as its shape (ie: outside outline).

How does it become an anti-Semitic slur? By coloring it in (so the intersecting equilateral triangles are no longer visible) and putting in a background of Clinton cash.

In the form it appears, it could be a sheriff's badge, thus signifying that Clinton cash is an insult to those who abide by the law. It could be a star used in a Disney cartoon, thus signifying that it's a bad lesson for the children to have leaders who are so sold out to interests that bought them. Or it could be that all three interpretations are equally ridiculous, and a world of politically incorrect shapes would be a tough one to abide by.

This seems like a skit right out of Monty Python, with their satirical Bureau of Silly Walks. Maybe what's next in DC is a Bureaus of Politically Incorrect Shapes.

The retired Geometry teacher in me is cyber-screaming. A shape is an abstraction, an outline. Without filling it other details, it should not hold any imagined reality.

But Clinton is the one he's running against. He's handed a gift by the FBI so I would assume he'd run with that the longest.

She knew exactly what she was doing. After all isn’t she the smartest woman in the US if not the world?
