Trump Supporters to Wear Brown Shirts at Rallies

Campaign wants to avoid mistaken sucker punches



In a move that will potentially eliminate confusion at future Donald J. Trump rallies, a campaign spokesperson announced today that going forward all Trump supporters at the gatherings would be issued brown shirts at the door in order to distinguish Trump backers from Trump protesters.

Katrina Pierson, Trump’s primary spokesperson for distasteful statements, said, “Look, it’s getting confusing out there. While our supporters outnumber protestors by at least 100-1, Mr. Trump wants to make sure there is no question that when one of our people wants to sucker punch a demonstrator, he can be sure he’s punching the right person.”

Pierson went on to say, “Historically, brown shirts have been a very successful rally differentiator – separating the good guys from the bad guys – and we just wanted to make sure everyone knows who the good guys are.”

When questioned about the historical significance of brown shirts, specifically that the attire was worn by the Nazi Sturmabteilung (SA), otherwise known as “Brownshirts,” the original paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party charged with the role of providing protection at Nazi rallies during Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, Ms. Pierson said, “Mr. Trump does not know anything about the SA, Brownshirts, the Nazi party or Adolf Hitler. He doesn’t even think he’s ever met Adolf Hitler. But if the media wants him to disavow Hitler, he will, OK? He will.
