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.
