This is Heritage Foundation Chief Economist EJ Antoni, Trump's new nominee for Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner.
And THAT is his Nazi battleship wall art/Zoom background.

subtle

Perhaps we can hope his tenure is no longer than the actual battleship’s career itself, which according to Wikipedia had an “8 month career.”
-
Hegseth has white supremacy tats -tats are an important focus for ICE & the orange regime.
Musk & some others did Nazi salutes.
Now we have a Nazi ship in the background.
Trump is taking away DEI & white washing history especially about slavery/accomplishments and talking vermin/blood.
- Nazi 💩
-
The whole administration are quite literally Nazis

It's a dog whistle so loud you can hear it on the Moon. First you have to know about the significance of the Bismarck in WWII. Then, knowing this, you CHOOSE to decorate your wall with a picture of it underway.
-
Just like in all his businesses, trump finds people to cook the books for him.
-
If he gets confirmed the American stock market should drop 20% if it doesn’t it will prove just how desperate traders are

Unbelievable. But yet.... believable.

Trying to figure out who would produce such a piece. Clearly every product has a market, but why this?
-
make noise people to try to get the population to reject this guy
-
He looks the part

Bismarck, the ship presumably sunk by its own crew.

WTF?! SMH.

Based on the size of that snifter of brandy or whiskey also in the background, I’m guessing Antoni and Pete Kegsbreath are buds.
-
Who (maybe 90s-00s actor/character?) does this 3-piece loser Nazi motherfkr look like?
It's making my brain itch.
-
"15 sold in last 24 hours" 😬
-
Bismarck was sent to the bottom with essentially all hands. An apt metaphor for the future of MAGA.
-
That's the Nazi Battleship Bismark on the wall. The Bismark was sunk in 1941 by an attack of several ships, the British Royal Navy ship HMS Dorsetshire delivering the final blow. I wonder if this weasel knows all that.
-
another Nazi, what a surprise.
-
NIU come get your nazi
-
Maybe he just really liked that old movie, Sink The Bismarck! 🤔🤐
-
bismark was a shitty ship that is only known cuz it sunk a 30 year old relic. it sunk on its first voyage and if the US had entered sooner it would have been dog walked so hard no one would know its name.
-
It was sunk, 🤡
-
Nazi for our bureau of Labor statistics! 🤨😡
-
-
Trump’s whole government are like dollar store Sopranos characters.
-
Neo Nazi Ghoul.
-
To be fair, it is a really nice looking ship. It's a bit rusty now though.
-
Aaaargh the Bismarck wasn't even good! Germany has no use for a blue water navy! And its fire control was outdated!
It's only famous for sinking an even more outdated ship! And it only won that engagement because the other British battleship there wasn't finished working up!
-
I’ve been fascinated by WW2 my entire life. Top to bottom, all theaters. I read US regimental logs and after- action reports for godsake I’m a true WW2 geek. But I’ve never sympathized with, worshipped, or idolized the German perspective. Because I’m a fucking American.
-
Passes the sinister and creepy test.
-
Nazis. I hate Nazis
-
There was something that rang a🔔about this post earlier. Then memories from my childhood surfaced. Dad liked to listen to Johnny Horton & Marty Robbins. That's it. Considering the world now, see how these lyrics hit. I was practically in tears. JFC. Nazis, fucking Nazis. NAZIS ARE BAD GODDAMN IT!
-
Well, who amongst us doesn't have an image of a Nazi battleship hanging around?🙄
-
I suppose he can always claim that it is "a piece of naval history for naval history buffs."
-
@capitolhunters.bsky.social pointed this out yesterday
-
-
He looks like a Vampire slave owner
-
They have no shame
-
How could anyone doubt that this administration is laser focused on fighting antisemitism? He hates Nazis so much he has a huge Nazi warship fanboy poster in his office, no doubt to remind him of the horror of the Holocaust.
-
Sunk on it's first outing though
-
they are really running the country anyway with the help of shadow president steven miller. trump is too busy being on camera and shitting himself on fox news to run the country
-
More Nazis in the pedo presidential mob cabinet. He declared martial law in DC cause Big balls got attacked by 2 teens. Fotus 🤡 🍊🌮watched Jan 6 on tv & was good with haning his VP. He lets all the insurrectionists out. But he still won’t realize the Epstein files.
-
It's because literally nazis are the only ones left who will deal with his shit and fix numbers for him.
-
The Bismarck lasted 8 days in combat, getting its ass kicked and finally being scuttled by its crew. Out of 2,200 sailors on-board, 114 survived.

15 sold in the last 24 hours.
Isn’t that lovely?
-
Seriously, are there any upper-class white supremacists of relevance who DIDN'T wind up at Heritage Foundation? We should just re-title "Project 2025" as "Böse für Idioten"...or maybe "Zu Ehren Hitlers"? "Ein Stiefel für jede Kehle"?
-
But you know, there are some ship lovers out there, who just like SHIPS? And this has nothing to do with any ideology?
-
Is the Russian guy still working at whitewashed house? Hiring people?
-
-
We're going to need the economicon.
-
Confounding … and cheesy (along with the colorized bad clone of Michelangelo’s Pieta).
-
SO.
Can we call them Nazis NOWWWWWW?
-
Ask him about the Powell memo of 1971 or 2!
-
How long do you think that handkerchief in his pocket is?
-
The fun part is that the art is from 2010, and used as the box art for the Revell 1/700 scale model of the Bismarck.
Could be a Nazi, could be a model warship fan, but, a mounted quintych print does make it deliberate regardless of the motive.
-
I'd bet good money there's a painting of Lee and Jackson somewhere in his house as well.
-
-
As I recall it did not look so great once the Royal Navy was finished with her.
-
Defeated in less than a year after launch
-
-
The Bismarck, the wrong ship for WW2. When Britain, the USA and Japan all built aircraft carriers, NAZI Germany stubbornly stuck to the out-dated trend of large battleships. A bit like The Heritage Foundation which sticks to out-dated policies.
-
Wehraboos can cope and seethe but I like WW2 battleships that came back from getting "sunk" in 1941 to deliver naval gunfire support for the D-Day landings in 1944, like the USS Nevada:
-
The ship behind him is the German battleship Bismarck.
The Brits heavily damaged it, Germans had to sink it due to extensive damage.
-
Ha ha ha…now we can expect real statistics…ha ha ha
stock up food…we’re headed to hell
-
Truly bizarre
-
These fuckers at the Heritage foundation brought the these clowns into their organization first. What a fucking joke. Just a bunch of anarchocapitalist protonazis. Imagine being that ingrateful that you have to destroy your country because you don’t feel good enough.
-
I like my battleships that don't sink (or are resurrected).
-
Which one(s)?
-
-
Paging: ALL DEM SENATORS
-
Maybe he accepted the job at BLS because he thought it stood for "Battleship Lover Supporters"?
-
Nazi warships have nowadays names that start with “USS”…
-
Any word from the ADL? No? Crickets? Huh!
-
Just great, another Nazi in the tRrump clown show.
-
Gotta be a Geneva code violation for torturing the word “supreme” when you look like that.
-
He should take a trip to the Bismarck‘s wreck on the new Titan 3 submersible… ☝🏻
-
It’s okay to hit a Nazi in the face.
-
Can we kickstart a prize for the first reporter to ask him about this
-
An office with Nazi battleship wall art and a mini Pietà sculpture underneath it! These creeps Never Stop Weirding!!!
-
Maybe the boss can help him class it up with some fancy gold frames.
-
The alt-right pseudo-academic aesthetic is really something. It's master is Dr. Gorka, obv.
-
When did Jordan Klepper start cosplaying as an economist?
-
Amazing. It's like they are trying to tell everyone...
-
WTF?
-
bro looks like Death. Are we sure that isn't Death?
-
There is an SS Dagger (replica) somewhere in his house or I'm the Pope.
-
We don't have many Nazis or Russian backers/agents in the wild any more. They are all in the Trump administration.
-
Weird how the Heritage Foundation and Nazi circles always neatly overlap on that Venn diagram
-
Trump found a real winner to head up the BLS! EJ Antoni will do everything to give Trump the perfect data - Even if he has to lie about it!
-
Usually people are thoughtful about what they present as their Zoom / Teams background. I’m a Trekkie, so I like putting Star Trek backgrounds up. Putting a famous Nazi battle cruiser up makes sense if that’s what ur in to! 🤮
-
Remembering the Bismarck the way that it should be remembered....
-
15 sold to MAGA's in the past 24 hours.
-
That guy is a creep. I'm being charitable here.
-
why is trump sitting next to the Hamburgler
-
We are gonna need SO much rope…
-
I bet he owns wolf howling at the moon t-shirts
-
This country now actually under dictator , like other dictators select/like only who can be sycophant. All dictator loving billionaires, Wall Street, tech billionaires are liking anti science dictator.
-
He wants us to know he’s a NAZI!
-
Heritage is the primary force behind the sovereign executive movement. A sovereign executive is a functional monarchy. A monarchy is authoritarian, autocratic, tyranny. It derives it's authority by an appeal to heaven & pure bloodlines. Of course it's inherently racist & fascist. Just like nazis.
-
He must have gotten the super cheap misprint version. The panels do not line up like the example. It’s all out of whack.
What’s that thing in front of the Mary with dead Jesus figurine? Kind of weird messaging. grandma’s porcelain figurines on display with your busted Nazi boat “art”.
-
Because this is what I think of...
-
I swear he has the weirdest, worst judgement in finding lackeys.
-
Does he not know what the Royal Navy did to the Bismarck?
My favorite description of her one war patrol was “and it ended with HMS Rodney and HMS King George V enthusiastically rearranging the wreckage with heavy caliber gun fire…”
-
-
They’re not even hiding their n@zi sympathies any more.
-
-
F. C
-
Nazi fuck displays giant battleship that was outdated before it even left the shipyard and sunk one enemy ship before getting its ass handed to it by torpedo planes. But it was very, very big so these smooth brained assholes think it is cool.
-
The Bismarck was defeated- let's show him the same treatment.
-
Shocked, shocked I tell you that it’s ~33% off!
-
nazi raus!
-
I'm so tired of these destructive losers. How did we get to a place where this is acceptable?
-
Disgusting. There's so much of this among these people.
-
$90? I like my phd economists to have some chedda cheese you know?
-
I look forward to next quarter showing a 500% increase in American jobs, enough jobs that every American has 2 or even 3 jobs that they're doing.
That'll make America "great"
-
And how do we know it’s not the Tirpitz?
-
-
Always good to have a sinking ship as your life mantra.
-
There are reasons to criticize the guy but a poster of the Bismarck is not one of them.In fact it is ridiculous.
-
The purposeful placement of the Pieta enrages me.
-
Wow, most commenting here are discussing the battleship itself and not the fact that it was a Nazi ship behind an actual US gov employee. Perhaps focus, people.
-
What website is selling an art print of the Bismarck?????
-
Oh fucking COME ON.
-
Well at least we've finally stopped antisemitism or uhhhh whatever
-
Doesn't stop there.
-
-
Wow!
-
He also has the empty eyes of a serial killer so that checks out
-
We know what to do.
-
Who knew the Heritage Hacks were Nazis? (Me years ago, it was obvious)
-
Why do they all look like thumbs?
-
Would someone pay for him to visit the ship's resting location in that submarine startup? 👀
-
Shitass boat that sank one other boat and then got mobbed by obsolescent torpedo bombers
-
He’ll fit right in.
-
let's hope the bismarck becomes an appropriate symbol for this administration
-
The Heritage Foundation isn’t a think tank. It’s a front for white racist authoritarians, aka NAZIS…
-
Just lovely. Another nazi joins the administration.
-
Based upon the low left pic, it seems he has been sucking 47's tiny dick for some time. It appears to be in a fixed position.
-
How has nobody replied with that Succession scene?
-
Ah, yes, the 'Big Stupid Boats that Get Killed by Planes' line from the Alfred Thayer Mahan collection. You can also get Tirpitz, Yamato, and Musashi.
-
Why does every nazi war enthusiast look like the first guy to go when the camps run out minorities?
-
My favorite thing about the Bismarck is that it was a short-lived piece of crap that was better at killing its own Nazi sailors than it was at killing the British it was shooting at ... but that doesn't make me want a wall mural of it
-
Bismarck
-
Did he steal an e-commerce photo as his Zoom background to appear on TV?
-
Great, another fucking nazi?
-
Looks like a real dork
-
Do they go out of their way to be as evil as possible?
-
-
Dandy little Pieta there. Wtf
-
Sold at Home Gestapo?
-
They are nazis. They are doing nazi things because they are actual nazis.
-
You know he has a nazi flag on the other wall. Also probably a picture of Trump.
-
The Turd Reich 🍊 💩
-
Typical of a MAGA to pick the losers because the Bismark sunk days after driving off a British ship in '41, after receiving damning counterfire from British forces. Such attacks jammed it's rudder, broke it's steering gear, and had to be humiliatedly scuttled into the ocean...
-
Please @dieworkwear.bsky.social let’s hear your thoughts on his outfits.
-
And if there was a murual of the "Marat" hanging in the background, would he be a communist? Okay... makes no sense.
-
Which was sunk. Just another Berlin doughnut.
-
White Baby Jesus...
-
Dude looks like a genetic experiment gone wrong.
-
SINK THE BISMARK!
-
WTF
-
They've really sold 15 of these in the last 24 hours?
-
He gives me the creeps, like so many other sociopathic trump loyalists. Just looking at him and knowing what he’s going to do in this role sends chills up and down my spine!
-
The Bismarck; sunk on its first mission, over 2,000 sailors dead. Perfect symbol.
-
To be fair, my Zoom background also has Nazis in it:
-
-
JFC
-
Dollars to pesos he's gonna go with, "I just like battleships and this is all news to me."
-
Great catch Lauren.
-
This is EJ Antoni, Nazi.
-
Son of Antoni Levy

This clown @ejantoni would not be qualified for an entry level economist job at a failing company. Another fraud on America by convicted felon @realdonaldtrump.
-
-
Also conservative "Ph.Ds" love to write PhD next to their name. I rarely if ever see actual PhDs from a non-mickey mouse school do this, eg Paul Krugman, PhD? His school must 3rd rate... he must have suffered ongoing inferiority complexes and we're again going to collectively have to pay for it
-
What a fucking chud. Not in the least bit qualified. Where do they even get these chuds?
-
Amazing how the HF, Fox and magats in general have collected a full array of defective individuals encased in their echo chambers. Now the snakes pop out of the can…

Trump praised Hitler multiple times. Trump is trying to destroy elite universities based upon his lie that he opposes anti-Semitism. 2024: "... Trump praised Hitler multiple times, Kelly confirms" www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch... 2024 (not subtle who he supports): www.timesofisrael.com/report-trump...

Dude looks like an antifeminist YouTuber from 2012 obsessed with NES games

And THIS is the Nazi battleship's natural predator
-
@timharford.ft.com - is there a #CautionaryTales tie-in here? People sometimes have things at their desk or office wall as a constant reminder of a hard lesson learned... Pieces of a space shuttle orbiter, a collapsed bridge, train wreck, etc... Likely certified test engineers Thoughts?
