There must not be any coronavirus or Russia stuff for the liberal media to go apesh*t on President Trump because they are falling back on their “he’s worse than Hitler” narrative. Recently the Washington Post predicted Trump would go full-Hitler when he steals the election in November and USA Today has determined the President is a Nazi for using American Eagle imagery. It took a while but the left is now claiming one of America’s oldest symbols is really a Nazi symbol. Presumably this will change the next time there’s a democrat in office.
Here’s a real thing from USA Today:
The claim: Trump campaign shirts feature imperial eagle, a Nazi symbol
President Donald Trump’s campaign website recently unveiled a T-shirt that has come under fire because of design similarities between its logo and a Nazi symbol.
The similarity was first noticed, according to Forward, by two Twitter accounts, Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, described as a Jewish progressive group, and the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group formed by Republicans.
“The President of the United States is campaigning for reelection with a Nazi symbol. Again,” Bend the Arc tweeted on July 1.
Several Facebook posts have noted the similarities, as well. One user noted, “Trump is now selling straight up nazi propaganda shirts.”
And here’s a side-by-side comparison:
It’s not the eagle that makes the one on the right a Nazi symbol, it’s the swastika.
The T-shirt for sale on the Trump campaign’s website is called the “America First Tee.” The design includes a left-facing eagle, holding a round emblem with the U.S. flag inside and “Trump 2020” in a banner underneath.
The Nazi eagle was developed by the German Nazi Party in Germany in the 1920s, and became a symbol of the government after the party took power. It was derived from the German coat of arms.
The Reichsadler, which translates to “Imperial Eagle,” was derived from the Holy Roman Empire’s coat of arms.
And here’s the actual Presidential Seal which was first used in 1877 by Rutherford B. Hayes:
The Presidential Seal has had the eagle facing left and right and also had a two-head eagle at one point. But the actual point is that this symbol of America predates the Nazis by a half-century.
USA Today reluctantly had to admit that the Speaker of the House also uses a symbol similar to the Nazi one, but they chose Republican Paul Ryan and not democrat Nancy Pelosi to keep alluding to the fascism of the GOP:
[There was] a similar situation in 2017 with former House Speaker Paul Ryan. A BuzzFeed story notes that January, Twitter was abuzz with the idea that the speaker’s logo resembled a similar Nazi eagle and swastika. But it also looks like the eagle-and-globe top of the silver mace of the House, “a symbol of the House’s authority,” according to the House website.
How come Paul Ryan’s a Nazi and not Nazi Pelosi? Damn spell check won’t let me write her first name.
And while we’re at it, let’s take a look at the U.S Marine Corps seal established in 1834:
Despite the fact that an eagle standing on a globe has been used by the United States for 150 years, USA Today determined that Trump, the President of the United States, is a Nazi for also using it:
Our ruling: True
The claims that a Trump campaign T-shirt has come under criticism for using a symbol similar to a Nazi eagle is TRUE, based on our research.
Making this even more ridiculous, USA Today threw this on the end like it was irrelevant:
But it is worth noting that the eagle is a common symbol in American politics, and is included in the presidential seal of the U.S., as well as many federal departments.
The next bombshell will be that Trump often uses American flags as backdrops, the same way Hitler used Nazi flags. It is also worth noting that both Trump and Hitler wore pants so clearly the president is a full-fledged Nazi.
