Nothing surprising given how terrible Trump is, but nonetheless.

He also was present at a Ku Klux Klan demonstration in 1927.

    Yeah. That’s all true. But would you say that Micheal Jordan briefly had a Charlie Chaplin mustache? Or would you say Micheal Jordan briefly had a hitler mustache?

      The difference is that one of them wore it before it got labeled as a Hitler moustache and the other did it after

        and? Things can get tainted by millions dying in tacit relationship. Just like the swastika has been a symbol for centuries before.

          The mustache for sure can and has, same thing with names, how many Adolfs yall know?

          Chaplin is obviously blameless unless he had future sight, but the thing about the Jordan attempt was that anyone that has even kinda followed Michael Jordan knows that he only did it because he thought he was a big enough icon to overcome the stigma of a Hitlerstache

          Clearly his ego had grown too large
