The Nazis forced Jews to wear a Star of David on their clothing to identify themselves during the Holocaust.Saturday's incident was the latest departure by Trump from a recent effort to appease Republicans worried about his brash public persona by trying to appear more restrained. The Republican convention, where Trump is expected to be named the party's official nominee for the November presidential election, is two weeks away.In June, Trump fired his campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and began using a teleprompter to make speeches, hoping to show that his campaign could be more inclusive after earlier mishaps, including his statement that Mexicans crossing the U.S. border illegally were "rapists" and his mocking of a disabled reporter, which Clinton has begun using in attack ads against him.Ed Brookover, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, said in an interview on CNN on Monday the campaign felt it had "corrected" the issue about the star by deleting Trump's original tweet.Brookover said the image's earlier appearance on the neo-Nazi forum was irrelevant."These images get posted and reposted and reposted on social media on many forums," he said. "There was never any intention of anti-Semitism."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!
