the number of Jewish Americans that died on D-Day. There grave markers have the Star of David at the top. Similar to a sheriff's badge.

tRump is claiming that it wasn't a Star of David on the tweet attacking Hillary.

So this is understated satire, but it's so hard to keep up with tRump's lies that lots of people are just falling behind.

ETA: Explaining because someone alerted on the OP as 'insensitive'.
