Oh Trump, you shouldnât feel too bad. After all, it wasnât until the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor that many rich Conservatives gave up on their love of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. Speak to Jeb Bush about how his grandfather adored Hitler. The Rockefellers loved Nazi Germany. Heck, if it wasnât for Germanyâs decision to declare war on the US after we attacked Japan in retaliation for Pearl Harbor they would have pushed and pushed not to have us get involved in Europe.
Youâre just keeping tradition alive.

Why would there even be US soldiers in a âback into businessâ ad anyway? Very odd.

The agency that did this has no QA as I saw crap like this go by all the time and put an end to as fast I could. I even had designers try and defend their use of stock Nazi soldier images as âit fit better with the clients campaign.â
Remember this was âposted by an intern,â not made by one.

A better question is why is there Nazi stuff on a stock photo site?

Back to the business of bombing other countries and starting unnecessary wars. This in turn helps the military-industrial complex make money. Back to Business!

I recall the time I was designing for a boutique shop in the late-80s for a Danish couple that owned the place.
A potential new customer walked in and asked that we design his logo-- using his businessâ initials âSSâ as lightning bolts.
The Dane (Leif was his name) was nearly apoplectic trying to explain to this twenty-something the circumstances as why he shouldnât. And ended up refusing to do the job.

It shouldnât have been deleted. It was an historic tweet that included an historic image.
Practically the kind of thing the Taliban would do.

But WAIT! According to Trumpâs strongest supporters the Germans helped us defeat England and Mexico and the Soviet Union in the War of Independence that ended in 1776 when Ronald Reagan personally helped Jesus kill Hitler. You know, right after the Aliens built Stonehenge and the Pyramids (with the help of the Free Masons.)

I have no doubt it really was a mistake and have a hard time getting outraged by it in the sense of it being Nazi stuff etc. However, it IS a glaring example of how uncareful, uninformed and undereducated these people are and highlights precisely the kind of situational and self awareness we can expect from them when elected. Fucking morons. Absolute. Fucking. Morons.

Wait - the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor? Thatâs not what I learned in my Texas high school history class. They said it was liberal queers.
OK, so the second-most dangerous job in the world - after the 3rd ranking leader of al Qaeda - is a campaign intern with a Twitter login.

Pretty sure the campaign actually paid for this. More telling about designer lack of awareness then campaign that bought finished product.

Actually surprised they would back down. Seems totally in character for Trump to start bragging on how his Nazis are better and classier than anyone elseâs Nazis.
