Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump is taking the media to task for its criticism of an image he retweeted over the weekend that included the Star of David, which he said Wednesday at a Cincinnati rally really looked like a sheriff’s badge star, not a poke at Jewish culture.
The billionaire businessman tweeted a picture of a Disney book for the movie “Frozen,” which had the same star on its cover.
“Where is the outrage for this Disney book? Is this the ‘Star of David’ also? Dishonest media! #Frozen,” Trump wrote.

Likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton fired back minutes later.
“Do you want to build a strawman?” Clinton taunted Trump, a play on words in reference to a song from the movie about building a snowman.

Trump took down the initial post that he had retweeted from social media director Dan Scavino’s account.
