Can we please stop debating whether Trump’s Nazi moments are accidents?

On Wednesday morning, progressive Jewish group Bend the Arc noticed a strange similarity between one of the t-shirts President Trump currently sells in his online campaign store, and the conspicuously comparable official Nazi party logo, the Iron Eagle.

The similarities are undeniable: a stern-eyed eagle, facing rightward, wings spread as it perches on a circular icon featuring a country’s national symbol.

Within hours, the Trump campaign responded to Bend the Arc’s tweet, noting that multiple Democrats have worn various iterations of the eagle iconography — ones which bear a vague resemblance to, but are not nearly as similar as, the Third Reich’s logo.
