posting pictures drawing on antisemitic imagery and motives probably should count, especially if those have been lifted from white supremacist/anti-semitic sources:

you're welcome.

Obvious non-issue and fake media controversy, will not take seriously. Thx.
Since I'm obviously too dumb to see the obvious please tell me how reusing imagery that uses and reinforces anti-semitic prejudices in conjunction with a star of david and has been lifted from an anti-semitic source is obviously a non-issue and a fake media controversy?
Have you read his own son in laws response to this?
Ok, serious question: Which of the statements do you dispute:

1. The image was lifted from a reddit channel known as anti-semitic and white supremacist.

2. The image uses and reaffirms anti-semitic prejudices, namely the prejudice that jewish world domination/conspiracy using money and buying power.

3. The image uses the david star.

I grant you that (2) and (3) in isolation might be forgiven and an honest mistake, but in combination, especially in combination with (1) they can't be regarded as anything other than an obvious antisemitic slur.

Trump's daughter married a jew, in a jewish ceremony.

You better be able to explain how a genuine anti-semite would do that without using conspiracy theories yourself.
