Gen. Michael Hayden, the former director of the CIA and NSA, expressed shock on Wednesday evening at the striking resemblance between a new Trump 2020 logo and the eagle emblem of the Nazi Party. “Holy shit,” Hayden tweeted on Wednesday, responding to a post comparing the new logo featured on merchandise being sold on the official trump campaign website to the infamous Third Reich Parteiadler – Party’s Eagle – symbol.
The image, used as the emblem for the Nazi Party, saw the eagle facing the same way as the Trump campaign version but carrying a swastika in its claws instead.
The New York Times’ Kurt Eichenwald wrote: “Some are showing these Trump emblems as similar to a famous Nazi emblem, just with the eagle looking the other way.
