It took no time for Esquire to tag Eric Trump’s new haircut as racist. It’s as if they were waiting for it to happen.

Christine Flammia wrote breathlessly:

This week in political style news, Eric Trump got a haircut. It's bad.

But it's not just bad because he styled it firmly away from his face, creating a severe forehead arc. And it's not just bad because he used a handful of motor oil to slick it back like some bad Elvis impersonator. It's bad because it looks eerily similar to the preferred cut of famed white nationalist Richard Spencer.

Never mind that Brad Pitt, Tim Tebow, David Beckham, and a host of other celebrities have worn the exact same style, it’s quite obvious — to Flammia, anyway — that Trump was going for the “Hitler Youth” look:

It's called the high-and-tight. And, while popular in Hollywood and hipster circles lately, it has more of a connection to Nazism than many guys feel comfortable with in Donald Trump's America—one in which virulent white nationalism has far too much of a foothold in non-fringe circles.

“Did Baby Trump No. 3 miss this part of grooming culture?” Flammia concludes. “Who approved this haircut? They should've told him this cut doesn't work on his face shape. They should have warned him about the optics.”

Well, with this article, we’ve now been warned about your pathetic journalism. Thanks for the heads up!
