It started with a tweet on Thursday morning, as many Trump stories do.
President Trump referred to the U.S. Secret Service as the “S.S.” in a tweet about recent protests around the White House — an abbreviation that is historically recognized as the shorthand Adolf Hitler used for the Nazi Party’s paramilitary organization.
USSS is “common”?
Never seen anyone use that.
People are being stupid about this one.
Not suprised that Trump would use SS, now if he could just start putting “russia” in place of America in his tweets, he would be closer to accurate. His actual policy is “Make Russia Great Again”
And he can rename that bimbo as Frau Kayleigh, TrumpReich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda

SS seems to win by consensus as the common utilization.
I’ll actually give him at least a partial pass on this as I use SS all the time, depending on the context, to either mean the Secret Service or Social Security. Just because he’s a disgusting and racist piece of shit doesn’t mean that literally everything he does is evil. Let’s focus on the actually and demonstrably bad stuff. This just looks desperate and silly, which it is.
Maybe because you haven’t seen a lot of references to the secret service? On every governmental website it is referred to as the USSS.
I don’t think there is any doubt about it. The not so subtle nod to fascism is obvious and deliberate.
Sure, on official things. Everywhere else, including here, SS is normally how it’s spelled out.
Stop Shouting! So Silly. Stupid Socks. Sorry Sarah. Sven Sorenson. Sunday Services.
See See?
The president of the United States is supposed to represent us all. Every prior President has had what he says vetted careful, so there is no confusion.
That Trump just tweets out crazy shit is abnormal, and shows his deganged mind. I am not going to normalize it.
If Trump had his staff review tweets, these type of “mistakes” would not happen, that is unless it was Steven “TrumpReich Minister for Racial Inferiority” Miller, in which case they would probably multiple.
I wouldn’t give Bunker Boy credit for knowing anything about history or anything else. I mean, he apparently didn’t know what took place at Pearl Harbor.
But, I’m sure the attention he’s getting for this makes him happy.
Si, si.
Well I remind you that, unfortunately, Trump
has a kind of official position in the US government.
He’s a bad, bad man, but he’s also lazy and stupid, so lazy and stupid he’s less bad than he might be. That time he asked people to hold their hands out to take a “pledge” to support him was pretty arguably not a case of lazy stupidity. This might well be. There’s plenty that isn’t to yell about.
Sorry, I’m not wasting time on this nonsense.
Sigh, sigh.
Yeah. Holding a racist/fascist rally in Tulsa on Juneteenth is way more egregious.
Time for Onion to close up shop. Can’t beat that.
Let’s move on so we’re not sob, sob. (that’s word not the acronym, though we’re getting close)
If this moron/racist savant can quote a racist local police chief from the '60’s (like who the hell other than a scholar could do that?) then, yeah, he probably knows the name and abbreviation of a famous nazi military branch.
