Trump campaign's new T-shirt insignia looks a lot like a Nazi symbol -- and people are noticing

By Sarah K. Burris

President Donald Trump’s campaign is promoting a new shirt that features an eagle clutching a shield with the American flag and ribbon displaying his campaign. The Nazi Reichsadler is an eagle clutching a shield with a swastika.

While eagles have been used since the Roman Empire to signify power, the only eagles clutching a shield in their feet appear on Nazi memorabilia and Trump’s campaign shirt.

It’s a fact that didn’t go unnoticed by those on Twitter, Wednesday. Specifically, the Republican-run Lincoln Project posted the images together, saying, “Come on.”

It is really annoying that Trump's fans are a) so dumb they will still defend it as unintentional or b) so boorish and boring that they still think it is funny.

borderline. Believe Harley Davidson has a patented clothing line with the same Eagle sitting on the World Globe. Case International was the first to patented a similiar symbol. Golden Eagle on top of a Golden Globe.

And if Trump is pushing the Nazi Symbol,he and his supporters will own it,no doubt about that.
