To people who don’t understand why people are saying the official Trump 2020 “America First” T-shirt is a Nazi-inspired design—or who say things like “It looks like the Marines logo”—you aren’t paying attention. I’ll explain.
Note that the eagle’s head in the Trump and Nazi logos faces its left (our right). The Nazi logo, called a Parteiadler, is almost identical to a prior German icon, the Reichsadler, except the German Reichsadler looked to its right (our left) and the Nazi Parteiadler to its left.
In the Great Seal of the United States, in the presidential seal, and in seals of various military forces and government bodies, the eagle always faces its right (our left).
This was standardized by Truman, who wanted the eagle to face the direction signifying honor and nobility (and also facing the olive branches of peace rather than the arrows of war).
Before anyone asks: Do I think Trump himself knows this? Almost certainly not. But people in his administration, like top advisor and white nationalist Stephen Miller sure do. This is what happens when you give white nationalists a seat at the table.
