Donald Trump Nazism — Presidential hopeful Donald Trump is currently in the middle of a social media controversy again after posting a picture with Nazis marching under the White House on Twitter. Netizens quickly ridiculed the Republican frontrunner over his controversial tweet, which was immediately deleted when someone pointed out the marching men in the photo weren't the U.S. Army, instead they're from the Waffen-SS, The Times has learned.
Donald Trump is definitely one of the most polemical presidential candidates whose campaign has been dragged in several controversies. And with the latest Nazism accusations, the 69-year-old property mogul-turned-politician has found himself in trouble again.
Known to be an insatiable tweeter, Donald Trump is facing backlash after his alleged Nazism tweet, which showed a picture of his face placed over the stars of the American flag with soldiers marching on the White House lawn. But what made this seemingly innocent social media post controversial is the the fact that the marching soldiers were Germany's Waffen-SS, as per military historian John Schindler, The Star noted.

Schindler identified them by their helmets and an eagle insignia on their arm. And after Schindler pointed it out, the post was immediately taken down and a spokesman for the presidential nominee's camp gave a statement saying that an intern was to blame in Donald Trump's Nazism mishap.
"Mr. Trump has been in Charlottesville, Virginia, all day at the opening of a development. A young intern created and posted the image and did not see the very faded figures within the flag of the stock photo," Michael Cohen, the executive vice president of Trump Organization, said, "The intern apologized and immediately deleted the tweet."
Despite Donald Trump's Nazism tweet, the ridiculed presidential hopeful rose on top of poll surveys. According to New York Daily News, Trump made it on the utmost rank of the very jam-packed GOP field with 17 percent of the Republican vote.
Donald Trump has announced that he had $9 billion to expend on his campaign, but it appears that the business magnate doesn't need any cents since he's getting more free publicity compared to any presidential candidate in history.
"Trump is making daily headlines in advance of the primary season," Suffolk University poll director David Paleologos stated, CNN quoted. "This has vaulted him to the top of the pack on the backs of conservative voters."
Donald Trump's poll surveys domination came after his Nazism tweet, the widespread media coverage on his comments about undocumented Mexican immigrants and the insanely viral Twitter war and death threats exchange between him and Mexico's most notorious drug cartel kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
