1. What a dipshit...

And that goes for Turd Ferguson and whoever actually created this tweet.

2. Was it Trump or Cruz who used Nazi re-enactor footage in an ad?

I forgot.

[Adsos Letter]

10. It was Trump

11. Thanks

I was being lazy

[awesomerwb1]

3. Holy.....

That's both sad and funny and the same time.

[Thomas Hurt]

4. Heil Fergie!

[MontanaMama]

5. This idiot needs to be reminded

again and again and again what an idiot he is. Then again...maybe nazi's are his heroes??

[kcr]

6. That wasn't a mistake n/t

[DBoon]

9. Just like the war that ended US slavery becomes "the war of yankee agression"

The war to defeat nazi-ism is now the republican's cause

[kcr]

12. Yep. And Trump is their chosen leader.

They're emboldened now, even if they sometimes pretend it's an oopsie! and delete. The message is sent.

18. There most certainly was an intended audience.

Similar to Fox News identifying wayward Republicans as (D)’s.

29. exactly my thought... dog whistle... err bull horn. - n/t

[Demovictory9]

7. lol. great catch. He's changed the pic

[Solly Mack]

8. It takes a special kind of stupid

[dixiegrrrrl]

24. What are the odds of "accidentally" finding that pic and posting it?

Either someone was pulling his leg or that was intentional.

[Solly Mack]

28. I did wonder about that.

[world wide wally]

13. A Trump U alumni.

[geardaddy]

14. Derp!

[PatrickforO]

15. He must have taken the picture of the Wehrmacht soldiers down, because

now it looks like a photo taken inside a landing craft filled with US soldiers.

[mwooldri]

35. Found it!

Credit to picture goes to US Army Corps of Engineers.

It is what you say it is. After all, it wasn't hard for me to find the photo ... Google 'american Normandy landings' and look at images. Bingo!

[mountain grammy]

16. Could he be more stupid?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. As stupid as tRump and the War of 1812. . . . nt

[kairos12]

19. Actually just ein hund whistle to the deploreables.

[Snake Plissken]

20. That was no accident, it's a dog whistle for Trump's Nazi loving White supremacists

to let them know where he stands

[CCExile]

21. I'm no historian, so remind me...

Was this before or after Canada burned down our Whitehouse?

[Major Nikon]

32. It was after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor

[Still In Wisconsin]

22. If TRUMP was President in 1941 we probably would have joined WWII on the Axis side.

I'm totally serious. He and his followers admire authoritarians like Hitler and Mussolini. Hell, a lot of them admire Hitler himself!

[eppur_se_muova]

23. Well, I heard there were many fine people on both sides -- on both sides. nt

[CanonRay]

25. They are all fucking ignorant

they probably cannot tell the difference between German troops and US troops. Ignorant of everything and anything.

[Honeycombe8]

26. OMG. What an idiot. I wonder if he would've caught on, if he'd seen them from another angle.

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. Is this guy a Vet?

If not then he didnt care enough to get the right pic, if he is I will excuse him because he is just a dumbshit republican

[Pepsidog]

31. Lordy, Lordy ....

[C Moon]

33. I was watching a documentary on Hitler yesterday: that guy was a mf'r 101%!

He took no blame for the loss of the war, and blamed the country for not winning.
Sounded a lot like Trump, to me.

[gratuitous]

34. And this is why you contest every last seat in Congress

Go Chuck Enderlin!
