TRENTON -- Donald Trump warns of an "establishment that has trillions of dollars at stake" in his two-minute closing campaign ad.

"For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interests, they partner with these people that don't have your good in mind," Trump says over images of hedge fund billionaire George Soros, who has contributed to Democratic candidates and causes; Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen; and Goldman Sachs Group Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein. All are Jewish.

Trump, criticized throughout the campaign for trying to appeal to white supremacists and for using language that could be construed as anti-Semitic, faced a new round of attacks Sunday over his latest ad.

"Whether intentional or not, the images and rhetoric in this ad touch on subjects that anti-Semites have used for ages," said Jonathan Greenblatt, chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League. "This needs to stop."

His campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, said the ad was designed to contrast the Republican nominee's concerns with those of Wall Street.

U.S. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) called the ad "an appeal to some of the worst elements in our country" on CNN's "State of the Union."

"I thought that this was something of a German shepherd whistle, a dog whistle to a certain group in the United States," Franken said. "It clearly had sort of Elders of Zion kind of feel to it, international banking crisis -- plot or conspiracy, rather -- and then a number of Jews."

Just last month, the ADL called out Trump for using charges that "historically have been used against Jews" after he accused Hillary Clinton of holding secret meetings with international bankers.

"Behind closed doors, speaking to these international bankers, Hillary Clinton is pledging to destroy the sovereignty of the United States," Trump said during a rally in Greensboro, N.C.

Trump previously defended a tweet showing Clinton and a Jewish star against a background of dollar bills, which the ADL said had "obvious anti-Semitic overtones"; told Jewish Republicans that they wouldn't support him because he didn't want their money, and chose to use "America First," the name of the World War II-era group that opposed fighting the Nazis and blamed the Jews for trying to push the U.S. into war, as his campaign theme.

And his campaign's chief executive, Stephen Bannon, came from Breitbart, a right-wing website popular with white supremacists.

On the same program, Conway said the ad was designed to contrast her candidate's views with the policies supported by Wall Street. She said the financial industry wouldn't like Trump's calls to renegotiate trade deals and to expand oil drilling.

"They don't necessarily benefit Goldman Sachs," she said on CNN.

Conway falsely claimed that Trump opposed the Troubled Asset Relief Program, enacted in 2008 to help banks reeling from the worst economic downturn since the Great Recession.

"Donald Trump would not be for that," she said.

But he was.

"I do agree with what they're doing with the banks," he said on "Larry King Live" in April 2009, according to the Pulitzer Prize-winning website Politifact. "Whether they fund them or nationalize them, it doesn't matter, but you have to keep the banks going."

While Trump has criticized Clinton's ties to Wall Street, both campaign have benefitted from millions of dollars in campaign contributions from employees working in the securities and exchange industry.

Clinton and the Democratic National Committee have raised $28.2 million, while Trump and the Republican National Committee weren't too far behind with $23.2 million, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based research group.

Trump is running on a platform to rolling back banking regulations enacted in response to the Great Recession. Clinton and the Democrats said in their party platform that they would "vigorously implement, enforce, and build on" those rules.
