Just minutes after Donald Trump came under fire for retweeting a white nationalist on Friday, another Twitter user pointed out that the Republican presidential front-runner's latest campaign ad features images of Soviet soldiers.
The images were included in a 40-second video posted to Trump's Facebook page Friday and accompanied by the following caption: "Our veterans are being treated worse than illegal immigrants. If Trump becomes president, that will end immediately. Our veterans will be proud and respected again. #MakeAmericaGreatAgain."
Several of the medals worn by the veterans depicted in the video are engraved with a hammer and sickle and "CCCP," a Russian abbreviation for the Soviet Union. The hammer and sickle is an iconic symbol for communism.
"These are our greatest people," Trump says in the video. "We will take care of them like never before."
A spokeswoman for Trump's campaign did not return the Washington Examiner's request for comment.
Can’t help but lol...
LOL...What a dope!
That is just sloppy work. Somebody probably grabbed the first thing off of Google.
btt
Time for a reset button
Whoever put that video together is about to hear Donald Trump saying “you’re fired!!”
Letting idiot twenty-somethings put together video is never a good idea.
The editor and whoever approved it should get fired. Major screw-up.
yep
I find these type of goofs by all candidates to be humorous.
Doh!
Trump surronds himself with the best people...
He made a deal to get a better price.
Only hires the smartest and the greatest.
It’s 40 seconds long and the article only gives a screen shot with no explanation of what the message was at the moment.
I’m waiting to see the whole thing...and whether it’s campaign or independent.
I can’t find a link? Can you?
Now Cruzbots are playing along with Leftist propaganda. Its actually Pathetic,
So someone took an image off the web that got a hit with the term veteran and does not know enough history to figure out the error. It’s not like Trump makes these videos(if this is legit)on his Mac book. What a weak and low energy attack on Trump.
