There's A "Trump Card:" Your Choices Are A Typo And Nazi Paraphernalia


     Donald Trump's retirement has been nothing short of disastrous for the disgraced former president. Every prediction the MyPillow guy has made about "reinstatement" has fallen flat. Trump was exposed for what he did by the impeachment trial in February, and every prediction he made about Joe Biden being a "terrible president" has also been, not surprisingly, false. He's been sued for the Capitol riot and a number of shady business practices, his honeymoon of successful business related to his time in the White House has been replaced by near bankruptcy, and his company and its CFO have been criminally charged. That's not to mention his break with Jared Kushner, his being ranked among the worst presidents in American history, his ban from social media, his failed blog, and his preferred candidates losing primaries in Texas and Ohio. All in just over six months.

     Now, Trump's glorified welfare scheme has hit a new snag, by which I mean leaked emails that reveal the depravity of his attempt to foster racial tensions for personal gain. Among the proposed new merch items was a "Trump card" that voters who already stick out like sore thumbs because of their "MAGA" hats, black smoke-belching trucks, and inability to read menu items can use to identify themselves as Trump supporters. What's wrong with scamming people out of their money? He did it before he was president.

     Well, one of the proposed designs included the spitting image of the Parteiadler, the logo used by Nazis during the Third Reich. It's not any ordinary eagle, but one facing to the right. (In the presidential seal, the eagle looks toward the left, where the olive branch is located; in Trump's as well as that of the Nazis, it faces toward the right, where the arrows are clutched in the other talon.) That's not the only thing coming from the guy who said there were "good people on both sides" in Charlottesville. The one humorous part of this is that another proposed design includes a typo. This shouldn't be too big a deal: I'm not sure most Trump supporters would notice.

     Safe to say, I think it would be wise for Donny to tuck this idea away now, lest he add to his long and deranged history of white supremacy and other forms of bigotry.
