People Think There’s Something ‘Third Reich’ About Trump’s New Cards For Supporters

Donald Trump is offering his supporters the chance to prove their devotion to him by carrying cards in honour of the one-term, twice-impeached former president.

And critics think there’s something familiar about the designs.

In a fundraising email sent out on Wednesday, Trump’s Save America political group asked Trump’s fans to select their favourite of four:

“We’re about to launch our Official Trump Cards, which will be reserved for President Trump’s STRONGEST supporters, and we have some very exciting news to share with you,” read the email.

It claimed Trump thought the cards were “BEAUTIFUL” and he wanted the American people to decide which one they preferred, because “they ALWAYS know best!”

It’s not clear what card carriers will be entitled to.

But people who clicked on the image of the cards were redirected to a donations page and asked to contribute at least £35 to the political action committee.

Olympic Skateboarder Wipes Out Cameraman In Men’s Park Competition

Skateboarding comes with a lot of risks – apparently for bystanders, too.

Australian skateboarder Kieran Woolley wiped out during the men’s park competition on Thursday at the Tokyo Olympics and he took a cameraman with him.

Woolley, 17, was finishing his first run during qualifying when he rode atop a rail and zipped straight into a nearby cameraman, knocking him to the ground:

Woolley checked to see if the cameraman was OK. He was, and they smoothed things over with a fist bump.

Skateboarding made its Olympic debut in Tokyo with the men’s and women’s street and park competitions. 

Despite the collision, Woolley ended up scoring an 82.69 to take the lead during the third preliminary heat, sending him to the first Olympic final for the event. There his fellow Australian Keegan Palmer won gold, Pedro Barros of Brazil took silver and USA’s Cory Juneau grabbed bronze.
