ALBAWABA - Former US President and current election candidate Donald Trump went viral across social media yet again after being accused of racism by democratic users on X (formerly known as Twitter).

This came after Trump took to his official Truth Social account and called Governor Josh Shapiro a "Highly overrated Jewish governor" triggering a swarm of comments judging the former president for using such offensive language towards Shapiro. 

During his speech at the DNC (Democratic National Convention), Democratic governor Shapiro slammed Donald Trump while he lifted Kamala Harris which triggered the response mentioned above from Trump.

According to Raw Story, Shapiro said in his speech, "Will we be a nation defined by chaos and extremism or choose a path of decency, honor, and continued progress?"

He then further slammed Trump calling him an individual who "cloaks himself in the mantle of freedom" and a "man with no guardrails who wants to take away our rights." 

Several users took to X and voiced their opinions about Trump's choice of words, calling him "racist." Here's what they had to say about the matter in question:

"Took him four words to get into identity politics." 

"That's how self-destructive Trump's campaign is.  Even the Republicans in Pennsylvania love Shapiro, what a fool!" 

"The disgraced anti-semitic former president of the United States." 

"He can’t mask his racism. It’s who he is."

In his Truth Social post, Trump claimed that Kamala Harris hates Israel and will do nothing but make its journey to existing as difficult as possible. 

Trump added that he's the "best friend that Israel and the Jewish people ever had," he continued that Shapiro has done "nothing for Israel."
