This Friday, Trumps official Twitter feed retweeted this Tweet that takes a jab at GOP rival Jeb Bush. It shows a photoshopped image of Bush in front of the Trump Towers, holding up a Vote for Trump sign.
He is a fucking toad
Point and match. Fritz Kuhn has been resurrected.

(9,535 posts)This is scary. Tweeting an image of a Jewish candidate in a gas chamber is not funny--and Trump knowingly retweeted the tweet from a Twitter user with an obvious white supremacist name. It is no exaggeration to compare him to Hitler.
His ex-wife once told Vanity Faire that Trump kept a book of Hitler's speeches beside his bed to reach each night. When asked by a reporter about this, he was evasive but did not deny it.
I hope more Republicans will endorse anyone but Trump, to send a message that this depth of depravity has no place in our society.
Trump must not be allowed to get anywhere near the White House; he is very dangerous.

But we won't hear much about it, I think. (I suppose I can hope to be wrong though.)

(30,745 posts)in the street and not lose support, he meant it. This retweeting is just pushing it further. It is beyond disgusting. And, as someone else said here, it is scary.
All the Bernie supporters here, and the ones on Facebook need to leave off their Hillary hate for awhile and go after Trump on social media. Go after him hard. And Jewish organizations, like the Anti-Defamation League, should make a statement.
I am a contributing member of SPLC. I will encourage them to say something about Trump, too. They might consider that outside their area of expertise, but it is worth a try.
Trump has to be stopped.

(30,745 posts)I have been coming here for a long time and I have never seen anything like the hate that I am seeing from Bernie supporters.
I meant what I said in a good way. And I do feel that Trump, and some of the other scary republicans, like Cruz, are the real enemy. And anti-Semitism should never be condoned.
But you just have to get your nasty licks in, don't you?
Goodbye. You are just one more bernista who is not worth my time.
