Donald Trump tweets image of Nazi soldiers inside the U.S. flag, then deletes tweet

On Tuesday, Donald Trump (or, should we say, Donald Trump's Twitter account), tweeted one more plug for the GOP presidential candidate's campaign. 
#MakeAmericaGreatAgain, the hashtag read. Then came an image of the American flag, the stars resplendently laid over a portrait of Trump gazing sternly at something, the stripes over motifs of American triumphalism: cash money, the White House, and soldiers.

An all-caps caption declared: "We need real leadership. We need results. Let's put the U.S. back into business!"
Except, there was a problem. As Twitter users quickly pointed out, the soldiers in the bottom-right of the image were not American. They weren't even from an Allied military. They were German World War II soldiers.


this IMO was not a gaffe by some staffer but more a red meat message to those who oppose that Trump is one of them too.  the only times we hear nazi or see images of anything of that era it is presented by someone on the republican side usually calling Pres. or his programs relative to that part of history but again they are the only ones whoever bring it up, they support neo nazi agenda as they did the skinheads too so really who is the Hitler lover's???????
