The President of the United States, Donald Trump, published on his Truth Social social media account the design of a proposed uniform for the US Space Force, the military force created during his first term. The uniform presented includes an American flag on the sleeve and an emblem with stars.
Comparisons with Nazi uniforms multiplied on social media after the publication, with many users pointing out visual similarities between the presented design and uniforms used by the Nazi regime during the Second World War.
The Space Force was established in 2019, during Trump's first term, becoming the first new US military branch since the Cold War. The force is responsible for military operations in space.
Trump presented the design as a uniform proposal, with an official implementation not yet confirmed. The controversy arises at a time of political tension in the USA, with debates about the limits of presidential authority.
