Any Link Is Just A Coincidence

Something i have heard quite a few times is that Trump is a Nazi which is of course ridiculous, he is many nasty things but never a Nazi.
Okay, so he supported some folks who were white supremacist neo-Nazi types but most right wingers have a tendency towards fascism and that side of things, it doesn't make him a Nazi.
I will also concede that his former wife revealed during the divorce proceedings, the most thumbed book in the Trump library was the book of Hitler quotes and there was that infamous 'this guy Hitler had some good ideas' quote but that doesn't make him a wannabe fascist.
So they used an upside red triangle in an advert for those pretesting against them, just happens that the inverted red triangle was used as identity badges by the Nazi's to classify prisoners in the camps during the Second World War, just a coincidence obviously.
Now it's people are pointing at the item in Trump official shop called the 'America First Tee', a t-shirt featuring an eagle standing on a circle but the eagle is a very common bird for American symbolism and circles are everywhere so can't read anything into that so any likeness to the Iron Eagle, the official symbol of the Nazi party, is a pure fluke.
The biggest difference is that one was a racist psychopath who went on long winded, raving rants and spread hate while the other was the leader of Germany in WW2 and had weird facial hair. See, no similarity at all.
