Fact check: Trump campaign accused of T-shirt design with similarity to Nazi eagle

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/07/11/fact-check-trump-2020-campaign-shirt-design-similar-nazi-eagle/5414393002/

Quote
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."
...
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. 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.

Does anyone seriously believe that the Lincoln Project did not know Trump was using a common American symbol that goes back to the earliest days of the US? :silly:

And note how USA Today word-crafted their "question" so they could label it "True". :silly:

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Lincoln Project is a band of PAC turds who think they can undermine the country by helping elect dim candidates, and somehow extract  power from the ashes of a destroyed GOP.

These cowards boast ZERO high level politcal allies within the GOP publically.  But I think we all know and can guess who the culprits are who are advising them.

What's "true" is "people are accusing Trump of using Nazi imagery," not "Is Trump using Nazi imagery?"

No money or power in it for the leadership,and the followers are incapable of thinking.

Predictably, her eagle is looking to the viewer's left.
