Nothing surprising given how terrible Trump is, but nonetheless.
He also was present at a Ku Klux Klan demonstration in 1927.
It’s a toothbrush mustache, and more than one historical person wore them, Charlie Chaplin who Hitler likely copied was one of them.
The toothbrush mustache became popular because it was the only kind that would fit under the gas mask. I believe that’s why Hitler had one, he was a corporal in WWI (and was temporarily blinded by a gas attack).
Oliver Hardy (from the Laurel and Hardy series) also wore one. Without it he looked like a giant baby.
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
A toothbrush mustache, anything else shows prejudice.
No Hitler did not likely copy Chaplin, he much more likely kept the “toothbrush” from his WWI army days, when it was common because it fit under a gas mask.
He was known to be a Charlie Chaplin fan, there’s not proof to either side. It’s not like we can ask him or he let us know for sure. We can speculate though.
And that’s what social media is all about - opinions in a vacuum based on minimal information and defended as if it were a matter of life and death.
In my original comment I never stated it as a fact, I said likely, since we can’t know for sure.
And are you trying to mock me for just defending my point when you attacked it? That’s… quite the interesting tactic.
And the Trump family business wasn’t originally real estate, no. Fred Trump made his fortune with brothels.
shitbirds of a feather.
So your comparing owning a brothel is the same as what Hitler did. OK.
Not in the sex worker empowerment sense, but yes, in the way he subjugated those deemed lesser, I am.
In Germany we like to call it a “Rotzbremse,” which translates to snot brake.
omg, that is brilliant. 😂
I mean this is unfair what time was this photo taken. Since he was alive before WWII. And then you have the point did people of that time call it Hitler mustache like did everyone just shave it off after WWII. Or was it newer generations who called it that?
I heard it was a WWI response to the necessities of gas masks, following a period of artistic facial hair
I’ve no doubt that this guy isn’t one of humanity’s greatest, but it’s not indicative of anything - well, beyond the war at least.
TIL people think Hitler invented the toothbrush moustache
Shit apples don’t fall far from the shit tree
I like it when John Oliver was talking about how shit Ivanka is and said something like, “it looks like the apple doesn’t fall far from the orange”
I really wish we’d stop planting those on this planet.
Well that explains quite a lot, actually…
Pre-war soul patch.
Also evicted Woody Guthrie from his house, and got a diss track from him.
Just a moustache.
