‘Aren’t You Getting Ahead of Yourself?’: Trump Blasted for Referring to Secret Service as ‘S.S.’

John Wright June 11, 2020 Leave a Comment

President Donald Trump on Thursday referred to the U.S. Secret Service as the “S.S.,” the infamous abbreviation for Adolf Hitler’s paramilitary forces, the Schutzstaffel.

Our great National Guard Troops who took care of the area around the White House could hardly believe how easy it was. “A walk in the park”, one said. The protesters, agitators, anarchists (ANTIFA), and others, were handled VERY easily by the Guard, D.C. Police, & S.S. GREAT JOB!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 11, 2020

The context of Trump’s tweet made it even more troubling: He was thanking the Secret Service — which actually goes by the abbreviation USSS — for clearing anti-fascist protesters from around the White House to make way for his photo op at a nearby church last week.

“Our great National Guard Troops who took care of the area around the White House could hardly believe how easy it was. ‘A walk in the park’, one said. The protesters, agitators, anarchists (ANTIFA), and others, were handled VERY easily by the Guard, D.C. Police, & S.S. GREAT JOB!” Trump wrote.

More from Business Insider: The SS was originally created as Hitler’s personal bodyguard unit, but it later represented the Nazi regime and was specifically charged with executing what the Nazis called “The Final Solution” — the murder of more than six million Jews across Europe. The SS, according to the US Holocaust Museum, also “assumed leading responsibility for security, identification of ethnicity, settlement and population policy, and intelligence collection and analysis.” The security force “controlled the German police forces and the concentration camp system” and “conceived and implemented plans designed to restructure the ethnic composition of eastern Europe and the occupied Soviet Union.” Trump’s tweet on Thursday came on the heels of a New York Times report that described the aggressive tactics the National Guard used against mostly peaceful protesters in the Washington, DC last week, and how the Guard’s response to the civil unrest surrounding Floyd’s death has cratered morale within the group, particularly for men and women of color.

By mid-morning, “S.S.” was among the top trending topics on Twitter.

The “S.S.” 🤨🤨🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️
Sigh.

Who’s gonna tell him? https://t.co/cq6ryrFUzC

The SS? Aren’t you getting ahead of yourself? https://t.co/1zzyynIq1L

This man literally just called the Secret Service (USSS) the "SS." That really just happened. https://t.co/Z2xlcStfrb

Oh, one more point. It's USSS. Not SS.

The SS were Nazis. Please don't use that acronym ever again when describing the Secret Service. https://t.co/YWR5g1AJ3Y

The President is bragging about how easy it was to beat up peaceful protestors exercising their First Amendment Rights. He’s also calling the Secret Service the “S.S.” This Administration and their collaborators are a threat to our nation. pic.twitter.com/4dFB53ZOIY

Trump isn’t using the word SS in some kind of accident or gaffe. He’s signaling his supremacy and fascism loud and clear. Just as he is with a rally on Juneteenth. He is telling you exactly who he is and what he wants

But the SS stuff is a one off, right? https://t.co/AN0XI24uND

Strange words coming from a white supremacist who literally thanked the S.S. for removing peaceful protestors from the perimeter of the White House.
