Trump: If I’m Being Anti-Semitic, Why Isn’t ‘Frozen’?

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump dragged “Frozen” into the debate over his controversial Star of David tweet about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Where is the outrage for this Disney book? Is this the 'Star of David' also?

The original tweet featured a proud looking Clinton next to a star that reads “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever,” which some contend was an explicit reference to a Star of David. Some reports claim they traced the image’s origin to an anti-Semitic and white supremacist message board.
Clinton was not pleased, and her campaign team expressed that “Donald Trump’s use of a blatantly anti-Semitic image from racist websites to promote his campaign would be disturbing enough, but the fact that it’s part of a pattern should give voters major cause for concern.”
Trump lashed back with a statement made through Facebook. “These false attacks by Hillary Clinton trying to link the Star of David with a basic star, often used by sheriffs … is ridiculous,” the post reads. “Clinton, through her surrogates, is just trying to divert attention from the dishonest behavior of herself and her husband.”
Clinton tweeted back with a play on the song “Do You Want to Build a Snowman.”
