Was This An Oops? Trump Demands Return Of American Greatness, Then Tweets Pic Of Nazi Troops!

The nightmare of Eisenhower finds realization in the political aspirations of Donald Trump. On Tuesday afternoon, the presidential hopeful made an unseemly Twitter gaffe when his campaign posted a picture of Nazis on the North Lawn of the White House.
Hash tagged “MakeAmericaGreatAgain,” the advertisement sports a Donald deep in thought. Unfortunately, Trump staffers gave little thought to the graphic of goose-stepping fascists. Users quickly spotted the SS squad and promptly launched their own Twitter blitzkrieg, mercilessly lambasting the candidate.

The Trump campaign quickly deleted the tweet.
A degree in European History wasn’t required to zero in on the travesty. Any American familiar with the global struggle that shaped the 20th century could spot the discrepancy. Civics books, war movies, and video games have all captured the iconic and contrasting helmet styles of American GI’s and the German Wehrmacht.

But don’t worry Donald. You can learn. Here’s how:

Perhaps Mr. Trump should tell his digital-director, “you’re fired.” And hire any well-informed fifth grade boy off the street.

Donald Trump confuses German Nazis for American GI's in embarrassing Twitter gaffe.

This will haunt him. If you are going to try to make a run for president then learn to hire competent people to help.

It'll haunt him, but it was a silly mistake by a graphic designer who was paying more attention to composition than content. In the realm of gaffes, it's pretty minor and the least of his worries.

Maybe the Trump campaign was infiltrated by a liberal spy who was tasked with deliberately starting a smear campaign because the left justifiably fears Donald Trump! :>)

I ask the following two questions in all seriousness.

1) Is Trump actually running for President? Or is he running to to the Trump Brand out there. (No such thing as bad publicity)

2) Does Trump profit more if Republicans are in office or Democrats are in office?

Think back to the Bush, Clinton, Perot election. It is my firm belief that Perot "profited" through the election of Clinton, or by "splitting the vote." In hindsight, it is the only logical reason why someone running on a third party (who was primed to win the election), then withdrew, would create the situation in the first place. Maybe I'm a hair jaded, but... I'm seeing striking similarities here. I believe Mr. Trump is a distraction. He doesn't attract people to the Republican party. If anything he is currently infuriating and attracting more Progressive voters and drawing them to the polls, while alienating the current (otherwise) Conservative voting base.

This appears to come from NBC, the very people whom ended there business with him over the smart remarks he made public a few months ago.

Its an oops... Like 57 states, or "my muslim faith," but this is a Republican so the news will run with it as much as they can while they ignore Hilary's gross violation of OPSEC.

Looks to me just like regular soldiers. Certainly not SS.. and how you can tell their political affiliation from this picture is a mystery to me. .
