Donald Trump posted a since-deleted tweet Saturday with an image of Hillary Clinton that labeled her corrupt in Star of David. It also included a background of money, drawing accusations that the meme was using anti-Semitic imagery.

Trump waited more than two hours before deleting the tweet, and in that period posted an updated version of the image with a red circle instead of a Star of David while the original tweet still stood.

Update: This story has been updated to reflect that the original tweet has been deleted.

  3. He can’t stop, can he?

    I’m beginning to believe he may want out and this is his best option.

  4. Star of Davidgate, obviously a secret message to Trump’s Nazi, white nationalist base.

  5. Note to Sheldon Adelson…Some of Trump’s supporters are not your friends and Donald won’t deny them…
