Nothing surprising given how terrible Trump is, but nonetheless.

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

      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

          I know one. He’s 104.

            I would also question people naming their kids after any dictator or famous terrible person, especially one directly responsible for the Holocaust.
