Trump Lifts Logo From White Supremacist Account

The discovery, however, that the logo used at in end screen title card features a lion illustration that appears to have been taken from a Dutch Twitter account suspended for promoting white supremacy.

The inspiration for their name and logo? It appears to have come from that time Trump retweeted the following Benito Mussolini quote “It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.”

Last week the DOJ “accidentally” sent out an email that contained a link to VDare, which is named for Virginia Dare, the first white child born in what would become the United States.

the image at the end of the video Trump tweeted earlier was popular amongst the fascists of Lion Guard and the white supremacists of Vdare in 2016


They are not even pretending not to be Nazi's anymore...

Steve Miller is pulling double duty, working on the campaign?

You’d think he’d be too busy, what with the immigrant abuse and citizenship denial, an all that.

5. It's possible the same artist designed both logos

Not very likely, but still possible. Chump has a history of stealing logos from others, including his own "Trump" family coat of arms and company logo for Chump International Resorts. It has been previously mentioned in DU and other blogs several times.

6. He already has the racist vote.

I have no idea why they are courting them. That's not enough to win the presidency , and so many of the hard core racists are of the criminal element that many may not be able to vote.

But hey, if they are still looking for that one vote. I guess it's more likely they are just trying to take the racists money.

8. Trump may have the racist vote, but 75 percent of voters are not racist.

Trump may get a smaller percentage of the vote than McGovern did in 72. McGovern was thought to be incompetent, while Trump has not only proved that he is incompetent, but a liar and a con artist too. He will not win with that proof out there.
.. Yes, the racists will vote for him, but others who see him for who he really is, will do everything possible to make him a one term president. He doesn't know, because he is too ignorant to know. If Trump read a lot of different sources, and watched different sources on TV, he might know.
..Trump is arrogant beyond belief, so he thinks he is "smart." No matter what he thinks, he will find out in November of 2020. That is if he runs for reelection. If he runs in 2020, he will lose, no matter what "the racists" do.
.. Most of this country is not racist, and we hate what Trump has done to the U.S.A. Watch, Trump will lose and lose big. Trump is a true embarrassment to most of us. Even republicans do not like him, but many will not admit it. Many will not vote for him, or not vote. Yes, worse than McGovern lost in 72.

Nixon 60 percent ..................................... McGovern 37 percent
...47.100,000 .............................................29.175,000

I hate when the talking heads on the news tip-toe around, saying, "Well, he's not a racist, but he encourages racists."

Bullshit.

He will not win. No matter who we nominate, Trump will lose. Trump is an embarrassment to the world, not only the U.S.A.
