but it is very possible that he didn't even consciously think about it when he re-tweeted. Certain antisemitic memes are so much a part of our culture that many people don't even notice them. I don't think Trump is the evil genius that so many portray him as. I think he's a narcissist who is instinctively good at PR and that he doesn't think through much of what he does and says- he just reacts. There is a good chance he just saw an anti-Hillary tweet and immediately re-tweeted it without even thinking about what it actually showed. This inability to think and consider consequences, in itself, demonstrates yet another reason why he is not competent to be President.
