Oops: Trump Tweets Campaign Ad With Nazi SS Soldiers On American Flag


Trump may have just made his most ridiculous gaffe yet. An image tweeted from his official campaign account featured Trump’s face superimposed over the American flag with piles of dollar bills, the White House, and…Waffen SS soldiers:

Which belong to the Waffen-SS, the armed divisions of the notorious Schutzstaffel- the paramilitary organization that ran the concentration camps and committed countless atrocities in the Nazi invasion of Europe. While clearly a mistake, it really says something that the Trump media division is being handled so carelessly.
