The Trump campaign quickly deleted the photo after the star received massive criticism from social media because of the anti-Semitic connotation. “Where is the outrage for this Disney book?” the Republican candidate wrote on his twitter, in a rare full sentence. Some of the presumptive Republican nominee’s most inappropriate remarks include calling Mexicans “rapists,” advocating a ban on all Muslims entering the USA and saying that the authoritarian North Korean leader Kim Jong-un deserved “credit”.

Last weekend, a meme showing Clinton against a backdrop of money alongside the caption: “Most corrupt candidate ever” written in a six-pointed star was tweeted from the presumptive Republican nominee’s account.
“Too bad, you should have left it up”, he said.
About half of all voters say average Republicans generally disagree with Trump on most issues, while fewer say they generally agree with Trump’s positions. To correct the error, the star was replaced with a circle and re-uploaded to Twitter, but not quickly enough to stop the backlash.
Yet as the general election contest began this spring, Trump said he would rely on the same kinds of donors he had previously called puppeteers. “But I know that some of his supporters do, in addition to black people, Mexicans, Muslims – you know, most people”.
Earlier on Wednesday, Trump made a defiant speech at a Cincinnati, Ohio, rally defending his meme, according to The New York Times.
Trump pointed to a surprising example as a model – the sitting president and vice president.
Bell, who lent her voice to the widely-popular animated film as Princess Anna, was not taking Trump’s tweet lying down and fired back at the politician. “They said ‘Oh it had money behind it.’ So actually they’re racially profiling”. And I love them. Beneath the graphic was a screenshot of a Fox News poll that asked voters how “honest/trustworthy” or “corrupt” they found Ms Clinton.

The investigation into Clinton’s email server has dogged her campaign for the past year, as she and her staff struggled to respond to accusations that her use of the server in violation of State Department protocol indicated she was untrustworthy and considered herself above the law. “And I’ll be deciding sometime prior to the convention”, Trump said. “But when I really looked at it, it looked like a sheriff star”.
