Trump's Love Affair With White Supremacists

KEVIN DRUM
JUL. 5, 2016 2:56 PM

... Trump didn't create this graphic himself. He retweeted it from the account of an obvious white supremacist who plainly meant this to be a Star of David. Was this just a mistake? Did Trump have no idea who this guy was? Perhaps. And yet, why was he—or someone on his staff—following this account in the first place? And why does this "mistake" seem to happen so often? This is hardly the first time Trump has retweeted something from a white supremacist ...

This could be just a coincidence. White supremacists love Trump, and Trump just accidentally happens to retweet a lot of their stuff. Unfortunately for Trump, you'd have to be an idiot to believe that, and he's running out of idiots ...
