The gaffe, which
Trump's campaign blamed on an intern, was the latest setback for
the TV show host who lost business deals with Univision, NBC and
NASCAR after making comments about Mexican rapists immigrating
to the United States.
The tweeted picture also shows the White House and a $100 bill
and the slogan, "We need real leadership. We need results. Let's
put the U.S. back into business!"
"A young intern created and posted the image and did not see the
very faded figures within the flag of the stock photo. The
intern apologized and immediately deleted the tweet,” Trump's
campaign said.
The four soldiers pictured seemed to be actors wearing the
uniforms of the notorious SS force, Twitter users said.
On Monday, an aide to Trump said that the FBI is investigating
threatening tweets to him that were purported to have originated
from Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the Mexican drug lord who
escaped from prison on Saturday.
