US President Donald Trump was depicted draped in the American flag and performing a Nazi salute on the cover of the German magazine Stern's Thursday issue. The title, translated from German, is: 'His Struggle (Sein Kampf) - Neo-nazis, Ku Klux Klan, Racism: As Donald Trump stirs hate in America.' 'His Struggle' is a reference to the infamous book penned by Adolf Hitler, 'My Struggle' (Mein Kampf), further making the association between Trump and the leader of Nazi Germany. German news magazine @sternde features Trump. Text = 'His fight' a play title of Hilter's book 'mein kampf'. V. strong stuff in Europe. pic.twitter.com/swvg4UURou — Andrew Beatty (@AndrewBeatty) August 23, 2017 The Simon Wiesenthal Center quickly denounced the German publication's decision to run the cover. Dean and founder of the Wiesenthal center Rabbi Marvin Hier and Associate Dean Abraham Cooper stated that while Trump had been mistaken to compare Neo-Nazis and white supremacists with those who oppose them from the left, it is still wrong to compare the leader of the free world to Adolf Hitler. 'President Trump is fair game for serious criticism by the public and media at home and abroad,' they stated, 'but depicting him as a latter-day Hitler in a major German publication is untrue and beyond the pale.' Other magazines had taken creative license in depicting the unprecedented event of a US president saying there are 'fine people' among KKK supporters and Neo-Nazis. The New Yorker showed Trump blowing into a sail shaped like a Klan man's hood.
