Has anyone told the USA Today that the Bald Eagle is a national symbol of the United States?
The claim: Trump campaign shirts feature imperial eagle, a Nazi symbol

From the screed
President Donald Trump’s campaign website recently unveiled a T-shirt that has come under fire because of design similarities between its logo and a Nazi symbol.
The similarity was first noticed, according to Forward, by two Twitter accounts, Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, described as a Jewish progressive group, and the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group formed by Republicans.
“The President of the United States is campaigning for reelection with a Nazi symbol. Again,â€Â Bend the Arc tweeted on July 1.
Several Facebook posts have noted the similarities, as well. One user noted, “Trump is now selling straight up nazi propaganda shirts.â€
They did eventually clarify in a tweet, but, still call the symbol Nazi-like, even after spending time in the “fact check” laying out that they are very, very different.
But the designs have key differences. In Trump’s, the eagle holds the American flag up near its chest; the Nazi symbol holds the swastika lower. Trump’s design also features “Trump 2020†below it. The American eagle is also a bald eagle, whereas the Nazi eagle is depicted as an all-black bird. (snip)
The claims that a Trump campaign T-shirt has come under criticism for using a symbol similar to a Nazi eagle is TRUE, based on our research. But it is worth noting that the eagle is a common symbol in American politics, and is included in the presidential seal of the U.S., as well as many federal departments.
The hell you say!
Following your logic (Of which, there really isnt any logic involved at all, but then you are USA Today), then @SpeakerPelosi has worn her Nazi symbol openly and proudly upon her shoulder on many, many occasions. pic.twitter.com/4WY6ciPi5X

And remember this?
These people are nuts.
They must be getting really desperate.
Lolgf
They are.
The MSM has hated Americans for over 70 years. 1, but not the only, reason is they KNOW NOTHING about America. Exhibit #1 of MSM ignorance, likely willful ignorance.
The actual article in USA Today said:
Our ruling: Inconclusive
The Nazis made a point of a left-facing eagle, as did the tRump campaign.
The American version is a right-facing eagle.
