But his favorite child, Ivanka, and three of his grandchildren are Orthodox Jewish.

So while I would be happy to use any number of epithets to describe Trump, anti-Semitic remains off the list.

I googled to figure out which wife was Jewish and found out that the current wife, Meliana Knauss is Jewish, although they got married in an Episcopal Ceremony. (http://www.biblediscovered.com/tag/melania-knauss-trump/)

Also, one of his sons converted to Judaism and married a Jewish woman.

So, long story short: he's a shmuck and corrupt. But not anti-Semitic unless his kids all became Jewish just to piss him off.

He could be proud of his kids and yet retweet a white supremacy nut who shows, Bernie, who is Jewish, going to an oven. It's in the last paragraph in the first link.

I find it very curious who he chooses to retweet as a surrogate voice for spreading hatred.
