    Trump said Wednesday at a rally in Cincinnati that it was just “a regular star or maybe a sheriff’s star” and that he wished his campaign had not deleted the image.

    Trump received criticism for the image of the star, which some had deemed anti-Semitic. He insists that the media “was racist” for assuming that the image had Jewish connotations.

    He also says that he is not anti-Semitic, noting that his daughter Ivanka had converted to Judaism for marriage and is raising her children Jewish.

    The rant about the tweet came amid a long list of Trump complaints about the media’s coverage of several recent controversies, including his apparent praise of Saddam Hussein and the size of his crowds.

    “Some of my best friends are .”

    So it goes.

    I really don’t know what is in The Donald’s heart. (Do you?)

    But he or some of his advisers must be anti-Semitic.

    Why did he NOT apologize to ” all those who were offended” by his tweet?
    Just the opposite, he says that he wished his campaign had not deleted the image.

    Why did he NOT distance himself from rabid anti-Semites like David Duke?

    Since when is the use of a start anti-Semitic? Perhaps the state of Texas should change the shape of their star as well! Such nonsense!!

    I don’t believe Trump is an anti Semite. However, this continues his I don’t apologize to anyone persona. I am tired of his ego. Jews are not the first to be insulted. I still can’t believe he didn’t apologize for his John McCain comments. Ancient history but this is the ego of Trump. It is only the latest of a. Long line of insults to individuals and groups
