Since early July, liberals on social media have seen pumping out claims that the Trump campaign was selling “America First Tee” shirts that featured the “Imperial Eagle” (an eagle holding a wreathed swastika), a common symbol in Nazi Germany. Even though images of an eagle holding something round was common imagery in American politics, the so-called fact-checkers over at USA Today put out a tweet Sunday that said they ruled the claim as “true.”
Showing a picture of the “Imperial Eagle” next to on of the campaign shirt (an eagle holding a round American flag, the USA Today Twitter account declared: “The claim: Trump campaign shirts feature imperial eagle, a Nazi symbol. Our ruling: True.”

Eagle imagery was used in America more than a century before Der Fuehrer was born but it's now "Nazi symbol."
This should give us a clue about what the left calls "fact." Namely, any made up BS.

Reporter: “I saw some symbols at the Trump rally.”
USA Today fact-checker: “Those symbols are racist!”
Reporter: “Don’t you want to look at them first?”
USA Today fact-checker: “No. That won’t be necessary.”

Thats not all. Trump allegedly consumed a German sausage at one point in his life as well.
Also don’t forget that the musical Evita (Evita is the same as Eva) played on Broadway at one time, and Trump was allegedly on the same street. We all know that Hitler’s mistress was named Eva.
Yes these things are just too powerful to just be coincidence .

Clarification: The claim that Trump 2020 has put out a T-shirt with a symbol similar to a Nazi eagle and is being criticized for it is true. Worth noting, the eagle is a longtime US symbol, too.

A Nazi Eagle?

Exactly. Here is a genuine fascistic logo from the dark days of the FDR regime:
