Social media users have condemned merchandise promoting President Donald Trump's re-election campaign, saying it is reminiscent of Nazi imagery.
Available for both men and women, a 100-percent cotton T-shirt retailing for $30 carries the words "America First" above an image of an eagle looking to its left with spread out wings and its talons holding a circular version of the American flag.
Available on Trump's re-election campaign website, the product description says that it is "proudly made in the USA" and appeals to would-be buyers to show their support for re-electing the incumbent president, with the message: "Let everyone know who you are voting for in 2020.
"We finally have a president that puts America first. America is strong again, safe again, great again," it adds.

The group Bend the Arc: Jewish Action tweeted: "Trump & Pence are proudly displaying a Nazi-inspired shirt on their official campaign website. They are promoting genocidal imagery yet again—just days after President Trump retweeted a video of a supporter chanting 'white power.'"
PACE tweeted an image of the Trump logo with the Nazi imagery next to each other and wrote to his 24,000 followers: "Trump's new logo looks almost looks familiar. Where else have I seen that eagle style standing on a circle?" Among the almost 8,000 people who shared his tweet was the former director of the CIA, General Michael Hayden whose response was: "Holy sh*t."
The group of Republicans opposing Trump, The Lincoln Project, was equally succinct with its opinion of the T-Shirt, tweeting: "Come. On." Tom Nichols from the Lincoln project tweeted: "This is not some standard American eagle, this is a Trump graphics guy thinking he's being clever and trolling the world by saying "mayyyybe it's close."

Watch Obama’s speaking style - chin raised in the air, short choppy cadence. It is the same speaking technique cultivated by Hitler.
Oh - That is today’s version of their communist party’s Hammer and Suckle.
As drawn by a communist “artist” indoctrinated and trained in a modern liberal fine arts classroom for 8 years!
