Hopefully it is a coincidence. It doesn't look good though.

How would that be a coincidence?

Last week it was the red triangle, this week this. How anyone cannot see through him, is infuriating.

Oh I doubt it...and I don't think it matters to the people that will buy it. In fact, they will wear it proudly. The would honestly probably wear either proudly.

Not even a remote chance it's a coincidence. All the smug, racist Trump supporters are smirking and celebrating this evil. I honestly feel like I'm living in some sort of horrific parallel universe. Some day our children will tell their grandchildren about the years when the country lost its way. How do people not see what is happening? What will it take to make this end?
Nazi Germany didn't start with pits of burning babies and gas chambers filled with innocent people. It was a slow, deliberate, well-planned indoctrination. The good people were outnumbered. Leaders succumbed to the allure of power. Rule of law disappeared. We're on the exact same path. If you (general you) don't see that, you are part of the problem.
Our founding fathers would weep at what this country has become.

I'm beginning to think that whoever does his graphic design is trolling him and the campaign.

And it's coincidental this was revealed a few days after Trump "accidentally" retweeted a video that began with a man screaming "white power"!

This is NOT the first time he has tried to use this symbol! Cannot remember what it was on last time. I do think there was one similar to the one posted in the OP too!! Yes we did discuss it here! Maybe his presidential coin?!?!?! Yes, but something about it copied from something in the Kremlin .... The eagle facing the wrong way, the stars were off and what was in the feet were wrong or switched or................. No it was this one.... copying the Russian thing

I’m not really sure what to think of this. We’ve used an eagle perched on a circle before without controversy.

Why do I think a redesign of the Secret Service logo is next?
Hmm, maybe just a simple "SS"?
Maybe a different font?

Here's the thing... There are only two possibilities here:
1. Everyone involved with the campaign team is so REMARKABLY STUPID that they didn't do any research or consider the current climate and accusations of aligning with white nationalism in order to create campaign graphics that would not reinforce these claims.
OR
2. They know.
[Reader, they know.]

(I'm hoping it's not something that's common knowledge because if it is, it's just not coming to mind.) Well, when I look at the campaign logo, what it really resembles closely are our House seal and mace - eagle with spread wings perched on a circle/globe. All the speakers have used it. If you see Pelosi at a lectern, the seal is right on it. If you've watched the House in session, the mace is on the right side. It also resembles the Marines' logo. I somewhat recall that exact same Nazi symbol was used against Paul Ryan, and it started in Twitter, too. He was just using a modified version of the seal. I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing anything controversial with the campaign's eagle image.

For anyone interested, a history of the America First slogan (as always, nationalism: bad for Jews!). America FirstTrump steals phrases from all of his heroes Hitler, Mussolini, & Putin Well: Make Italy great was used by Mussolini Make Russia great again has been used by Putin Make Germany great again was used by Hitler And ‘Italy‘ first was not original to Trump either it was recently a political party in Italy (2013) The man has never had an original idea in his life, he is and always has been a fraud.
