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.

We've talked about this haircut before. 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.

In the 1930s and '40s, the Hitler Youth wore the 'do in propaganda posters. Richard Spencer loves it almost as much as he loves alt-right propaganda. Because nothing screams hair inspo like fascism! Did Baby Trump No. 3 miss this part of grooming culture? 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.

Honestly, ET, this one is on you. Maybe you saw David Beckham's high-and-tight and thought you could pull it off (you can't; stop trying). Maybe. But all it takes is a quick Google search for the style, and you'll just as readily have results that read: "Does This Haircut Make Me Look Like a Nazi?"
