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.

Dont tell USA Today but if you hold the shirt at a 77.462-degree angle at 11:36 p.m. on a full-moon night against a black light youll see an image of Hitler.
I’m thinking a lot of people are NOT watching network news anymore; they find a site to their liking on the internet, and get their news via phone. I believe that is why news has to be so sensationalist to the point of outright lying; just trying to get anyone to stay on that channel whenever the program they’re watching ends and the news starts.
If Trump was a Nazi these people would be summarily shot and disappear.
The fact checker needs to look at the US Marine symbol and the seal of the Speaker of the House for more relevant context.
So-called fact-checkers over at USA fail again they must never get tired of it.
Liberals can’t think for them self they require trainers.
Different NRA too.
Well that’s simply naugtZeeist and racis’ too. :-)
LOL Good one!
My type of sarcasm. Smooth
What an idiot. I just bought one 1 minute ago to show my support. Way to go USA Today, you’re making money for the campaign. Free coverage.
Ten leaves and 5 berries? LOL!
BOOM! They argh sew stoopid.
Sorry, navel gazing ops in work currently.
Yes, it is a long time U.S. symbol. Also a common symbol used by the Romans. Do a search on SPQR and check out the images. If the German symbol looks like ours then Hitler must have stolen the idea from us or the Romans.
What would we do if we uncovered a Nazi poster from 1942 that tells us that Germans believe that BLACK LIVES MATTER?
You know the answer.
Looks like an awesome shirt as well. So it’s a win/win for me. Going to proudly wear it when liberal family members visit. They already consider me an ahole, so meh...
The eagle is the symbol of freedom in America- at least it used to be.
Real students of history over there at USA Today. In 1918 the Poles took down the Austro-Hungarian eagles that populated their public buildings and replaced them with...yep...Polish eagles. Nazis hadn’t been invented yet.
Orangehoof Fact checking:
The Democrat party symbol includes red - the same color used to symbolize most communist nations.
Orangehoof verdict: True! More proof (as if you needed it) that the Democrat Party are a bunch of communists.
