    “Trump Accountability War Room”. Because suddenly presidential accountability is VERY important.

    …wait, what?

    Also, using the term “war room” for everything. Peak USA.

    Might be an unpopular comment, but I googled the Jerusalem cross and it appears to be more of a religious symbol than anything.

    Saying he has tattoos linked with white nationalists is just sensationalism. And it has gotten the exact response in this thread that it wanted.

      They might mean other tattoos, he seems to have a collection.

      It still makes him a religious weirdo, possibly with a bizarre crusade fetish. Not a great look.

        Not to detract from this guy likely yes being a massive nazi piece of shit-

        -but many deeply religious Polish Catholics who lived through WW2 and the atrocities, had (maybe still have, idk all my grandparents and aunties who did are now dead) Jerusalem crosses on their walls, usually displayed alongside their many JP2 pictures, crucifixes and black madonna’s.

        Also not to say that many of these Polish Catholics weren’t also massive racists, but I’m pretty sure the Jerusalem crosses they displayed were a Catholic thing for them rather than a white supremacy thing.

      I am looking at other photos. I can also see “Ne Desit Virtus” (Let Valor Not Fail) with a sword. That’s a symbol from the 187th Infantry Regiment. I also see the Chi Rho symbol, a Greek symbol for the name of Christ. Another tattoo is “MDCCLXXV” for 1775. Above that tattoo is an American Flag with a gun superimposed on it. I am not sure if these mean a recalling of the US War for Independence. The gun looks modern but could also serve as a bridge to the modern military of the US. On his other arm is “Deus Vult.”

      Broadly speaking, these tattoos suggest both military service and Christian identity.

      Not found are any symbols I’ve seen identified with White Nationalism. No Valknot, swastika, black sun, 88 symbol, Confederate symbolism, etc.

      Edit: The photo I was looking at is here: [https://i.imgur.com/kkroDES.png].

        Deus Vult has indeed been co-opted by white supremacists along with a lot of crusader/christian symbolism.

    When does Russia invade to de-nazify the US?

    (They already have, comrade. And your citizens voted it in)

    Here’s another question:

    If Russia launched a nuke at the US, would puppet trump use the launch codes?

      Probably not because he would probably tell Putin to target a major Democratic city center

        Dearborn, MI would probably be high on the list.

        High Muslim population. Heavy Democratic leaning (except this year. Lol)

        One obvious one NYC, but he wouldn’t want to hurt his property value.

        So, pretty much the entire pacific coast.

    Trump, picking a Fox news host to run the military

    Narrator: “It got worse.”

    I’m a gun nut. I have an AR-15 and love it. Finest multi-purpose rifle on Earth.

    Forget the rest of the tats. Having a tattoo of an AR-15 is so goddamned toxic I want to puke. FWIW, I’d punch him for the Iron Cross tats before I noticed the others.

    Of course he does. These are all complete garbage human beings. Can’t wait to hear the moronic defense of this is somehow not racist.
