Liberals on Twitter accused President Donald Trump's son Eric of sporting a "Nazi haircut" when he debuted a new hairdo Sunday.
Eric Trump sported a new hairstyle with the side of his head shaved in an interview with Fox News. Trump's trendy new style is far from unusual: celebrities like Macklemore, David Beckham, Brad Pitt, and Adam Levine have all sported the same look.
But in recent years, members of the alt-right, including white supremacist Richard Spencer, have also started wearing their hair the same way. Some have even begun to call the style "fashy," short for fascist.
When a screenshot of Trump's hairstyle first hit the Internet, reporters and liberals assumed the worst.
Wait, does he have a fashy?

Trump is not the first to be accused of having "Nazi hair"; a segment of "Full Frontal With Samantha Bee" made the same joke about attendees at CPAC with shaved heads. The show had to apologize when it turned out one of those young men had cancer.
