This week, Donald Trump went full idiot and tweeted a picture of Hillary Clinton complete with a Star of David. Now, he is trying to take the blame off himself by citing a Disney book cover.
Dear Donald: “He did it, too,” is not a valid argument. Also, it’s “Frozen”; he is comparing his tweet to a cartoon.

Here is Hillary Clinton’s beautiful response:
Do you want to build a strawman? https://t.co/AoeNTJOGpo

The original tweet has been deleted, but it shall be immortalized in screen shots everywhere:

Yup, there it is. That’s a Star of David next to Hillary Clinton’s face. He retweeted another version later with a circle in the picture:

Donald Trump responded to this original tweet with this excuse:
Dishonest media is trying their absolute best to depict a star in a tweet as the Star of David rather than a Sheriff's Star, or plain star!

Here is some more of the radioactive chicken wing’s ramblings about the star:
“So the star – which is a star, not the Star of David. When they told me the Star of David, I said you have got to be kidding. How sick are they? They’re the one with the bad tendencies when they can think that way.”
His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, said:
“I go into these details, which I have never discussed, because it’s important to me that people understand where I’m coming from when I report that I know the difference between actual, dangerous intolerance versus these labels that get tossed around in an effort to score political points.”
“If my father in law’s fast-moving team was careless in choosing an image to retweet, well part of the reason it’s so shocking is that it’s the actual candidate communicating with the American public rather than the armies of handlers who poll-test ordinary candidates’ every move.”
Twitter users proceeded to respond and educate Trump on what a Star of David is:
He's right. In Germany, it was easy to be deputized. pic.twitter.com/BMFjHoQV3L

“Cheeto Hitler” is my new favorite nickname for him:
