People have trouble interpreting this. Nobody’s saying Donald Trump or Pam Bondi are personally selecting Nazi iconography. They don’t read enough for that. The point is they hire and promote Nazis who ARE steeped in Nazi iconography, and they’re fine with it.
Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.

Ghislaine Maxwell, who is hoping Donald Trump will release her from jail, told Trump’s deputy attorney general, who is also his personal lawyer, that Trump did nothing wrong around Jeffrey Epstein. Where does Trump go for his apology?

This from a senior U.S. government official reads like a translation of a statement by a Soviet apparatchik from the 1930s, or a Maoist one from the 1960s.
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

In this case, our foreign policy and military objectives are all focused on Trump’s insatiable, fragile ego.
Trump's rage at the media over failures of Iran bombing sends a message: We can't trust anything the admin says on this via official channels. Everything will be tailored to serve the cult of Trump.
