From the same grifter that last month offered “autographed” photos of himself for $45, Herr Drumpf this week asked his Trumpkins to vote for their favorite design from four offerings to then become the “Offical”<\/strong> [sic]<\/em> Trump membership card.\u00a0 \u00a0Trump’s Save America PAC,\u00a0according to Insider<\/a>, sent out at least two emails with the four selections of red-and gold cards, similar to credit cards.<\/p>\n

“The card you select will be carried by Patriots all around the Country,” the first email said. “They will be a sign of your dedicated support to our movement to SAVE AMERICA, and I’m putting my full trust in you.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Trump team said in a follow-up email, “We’re about to launch our Official Trump Cards, which will be reserved for President Trump’s STRONGEST supporters.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“We recently met with the President in his Florida office and showed him four designs,” the email continued. “Originally we were planning on releasing just one design, but when President Trump saw the cards on his desk, he said, ‘These are BEAUTIFUL. We should let the American People decide – they ALWAYS know best!'”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

[EDITOR’S NOTE<\/strong>: “They ALWAYS know best!”<\/em>\u00a0 He’s right \u2013 both Hillary and Biden beat him with landslide votes!]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But two glaring oddities were immediately noticed:<\/p>\n

[1]<\/strong> He misspelled “Official” as “Offical”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s not all that surprising.\u00a0 After all, we knew they were Nazis \u2013 but obviously they’re not GRAMMAR<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Nazis.<\/p>\n

Even more understandable when you meet the proofreading team for the membership card:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

[2]<\/strong> Donnie is no longer even trying<\/u><\/em> to hide his true feelings.\u00a0 He brazenly included the official symbol of the Nazis that was first used in 1920s Germany.\u00a0 So it’s not a bit difficult to believe that The Former Guy (TFG) would go with the Third Reich’s official symbol \u2013 the Iron Eagle!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you knew would happen, the Twitterverse pounced!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
