    Donald Trump’s oldest son this week retweeted a post from Kevin MacDonald, a former professor at California State University Long Beach. MacDonald said last week that white people in America are becoming a victimized minority. He has been accused of anti-Semitism by critics, including the Southern Poverty Law Center.

    MacDonald’s tweet had to do with Clinton’s State Department and perceived favoritism for UBS, a global financial services company that donated to the Clinton Foundation.

    Trump Jr.’s retweet prompted Richard Spencer, a leader of the alt-right movement, to tweet “Wow. Just wow.”

    Trump and Jr. can re-tweet and cleave to antasemitin all they want. Fact is, Trump has no ‘coat-tails’, as anyone connected to him loses big, as in GOP primaries yesterday, Christie the Whale, and the crazed Maine gov. All going down with the Trumptanic.

    I follow David Duke on Twitter, but I wouldn’t retweet anything he said. Duke is still backing Trump even though 3 of Trumps children are married to Jews. For him to overlook these marriages Duke must be a firm believer in whatever it is that Trump stands for.
