You should be fired!!!

I don't know that Donald Trump intended to be offensive, but I think it does go to show that he is a poor administrator or manager (which may be used interchangeably in this article), whichever makes sense to you. A good manager checks and is aware of possible sensitive areas that may possibly be offensive to certain people and/or groups. I thought that was basic training for managers and administrators. Or does Mr. Trump not care? And in spite of votes, does he not care that if he were to be elected, he would be every one's President? Not only Jewish people (and the last I heard, regardless of who she may or may not be, Jewish ethnicity is determined by the mother's ethnicity), but also African-Americans, Gay-Americans, etc. Perhaps he could use some sensitivity training. I believe this is something we should all give very careful consideration.

I am talking about the tweet that has been called antisemitic, that once again calls Hillary Clinton "crooked" (the pot calling the kettle). Apparently, the tweet used a six pointed star (often called the Star of David) that was subsequently changed to a circle, and included some negative and derogatory caption about Mrs. Clinton, his presumptive Democratic opponent in the race for President.

One response to the criticism brought up how the six pointed star is often used by Sheriff's Offices as their badge shape. I am presently married to a retired Sheriff's Deputy and the particular Sheriff's Office uses a seven pointed star. One reason I know this is because I made a computer generated version of the badge for something my husband needed to do once a long time ago before he retired, and he wanted the image of the Sheriff's star to be on the document. (The computer that image was designed on was destroyed in a flood a few years ago, so I no longer have the PC nor the software that designed it, nor the star itself. Not only that, but if memory serves me correctly, a similar image was included in a set of CD clip art I bought nearly 20 years ago.) In my mind, this seems to reflect a lack of attention, perhaps even a lack of knowledge of vital information, even important details, for such an important office.

I'll have more to say about this lack of knowledge, as well as lack of attention, in future articles.
