German Media Draw Nazi Comparisons Over US Border Patrol Coat

German outlets Der Spiegel and Süddeutsche Zeitung likened Gregory Bovino’s calf-length olive greatcoat and his distinctive look to Nazi imagery, sparking a debate about the aesthetics of US border enforcement under the Trump era. Bovino denies signaling fascism, while officials say the coat is standard-issue; a 2025 uniform document reportedly omits it. The controversy has drawn broader commentary, including Gavin Newsom’s critique of the administration’s immigration policy optics.

Trump's Controversial 'Reich' Video Sparks Outrage and Criticism

The phrase, intended as placeholder text, was mistakenly left in the final video. The Trump campaign stated the video was reposted by a staffer without noticing the text, while the Biden campaign criticized it as part of a pattern of troubling rhetoric from Trump. Şimşek clarified that the text was not meant to reference Nazi Germany and urged people to calm down.

The Ukrainian government has emphasized that it condemns any manifestations of Nazism, but the use of these symbols risks undermining support for the country.
