In their desperate attempt to deflect from their sagging poll numbers, the Trump campaign resorted to using an image from a known white supremacist/neo-Nazi web site for their recent tweet at Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
This isn't the first time the campaign has relied on the efforts by such groups since they are the ones Trump has a solid reputation with.
According to the news site Mic, the image of Clinton with the Star of David showed up in /pol/, an online message board for neo-Nazis and white supremacists, as early as June 22. That's more than a week before Trump sent his tweet featuring the image. (The thread where the image appeared no longer exists, but can be viewed as it originally appeared using an archive website.)
A watermark on the image, as it was posted on the message board, features a Twitter handle which frequently tweets out racist memes and anti-Democratic tweets. That watermark was not included in the image Trump tweeted out: instead, that space was covered up by a Fox News poll graphic.
Trump's campaign has not yet commented on the image.

P.S. There have been some who claim the six pointed star in the image isn't really the Star of David because it's just a star. Just like this is just a star:
