Donald Trump’s “Star of David” Hillary Clinton Meme Was Created by White Supremacists
Donald Trump tweeted a meme Saturday that used dog-whistle anti-Semitism to announce that his political rival, “Crooked Hillary,” had “made history.” The meme Trump tweeted prominently featured the Star of David — a holy symbol of the Jewish religion that Nazis attempted to pervert by forcing Jews over the age of 6 to sew it onto their clothing during Hitler’s reign.
Emblazoned onto the Star of David in Trump’s meme are the words “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!”
The star lies atop a giant pile of money.

Mic discovered Sunday that Donald Trump’s Twitter account wasn’t the first place the meme appeared. The image was previously featured on /pol/ — an Internet message board for the alt-right, a digital movement of neo-Nazis, anti-Semites and white supremacists newly emboldened by the success of Trump’s rhetoric — as early as June 22, over a week before Trump’s team tweeted it.
Though the thread where the meme was featured no longer exists, you can find it by searching the URL in Archive.is, a “time capsule of the internet” that saves unalterable text and graphic of webpages. Doing so allows you to see the thread on /pol/ as it originally existed.
Of note is the file name of the photo, HillHistory.jpg, potentially a nod to the Neo-Nazi code for “HH,” or “Heil Hitler,” which the alt-right is fond of hiding in plain sight.
The watermark on the lower-left corner of the image leads to a Twitter account that regularly tweets violent, racist memes commenting on the state of geopolitical politics.

NEW: Trump's "Star of David" Hillary Meme Was Created by White Supremacists https://t.co/tCxYU0m398

That star is not any “holy” symbol, and it has absolutely nothing to do with David.
It is a pagan Egyptian icon brought to Israel by one of Solomon’s many pagan wives.
Addition of that pagan symbol is a transgression of Torah, and is despised by Yehovah ( see Deuteronomy, ch 4, and 12)
Judaism is mostly a collection of transgressions of Torah brought about by the Pharisees of the late second temple period. It is a man made religion.
Most of the religions practiced in this country are completely man made.
