script writers will use words that the Public recognize it order to advance their story line. Their intention is to keep the memo alive for a few segments. Remember,their Bosses bought and paid for Trump,and if they want a pay check,well,soft peddle it.

They meaning the Media,knows damn well the Public has them figured out as Trump enablers.

"Nazi" is just an oral abbreviation of "National" in German for their "National Socialist" movement.

"National" in German (spelled the same way as in English) is pronounced "Nah-tsee-oh-nahl"

Since the "z" in German is always pronounced like a "ts" on its own, and the "t" is mostly only pronounced that way when used in French words, the written abbreviation for the Nationalists ("Nationalisten= Nah-tsee-oh-nahl-iss-ten)" in German would have been Nazi and not "Nati." Nazi IS "nationalist." Just like their abbreviation for Socialist ("Sozialist" ) is "Sozi (ZOH-tsee)."

The "corporate" media isn't going to call them "Nashees" in English any more than they will call Bernie Sanders a "Democratic Soshee." We just aren't as abbreviation-crazed as the Europeans. The "Nationalist" designation is accurate (and identical) in either language, whether the popular abbreviation is used or not.

For some reason, Americans like taking foreign words and creating a distinction that was never there until we invented it. Some people in the States tell me there is a difference between "gelato (the Italian word for ice cream)" and "ice cream."
