During Donald Trump s campaign for president, the Anti-Defamation League, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry, asked him to stop using the phrase America First to describe his foreign policy views. As the ADL explained , the slogan was used by people who warned, ahead of World War II, that Jewish Americans were pushing the U.S. to enter the war because they put their own interests ahead of the countrys.

But Trump never stopped using the slogan. And on Friday, he made it a key part of his inaugural address. From this day forward, he proclaimed, A new vision will govern our land. From this moment on, its going to be America First.

The crowd went wild.

People who arent Jewish or familiar with the history may not realize this, but America First makes many people deeply uncomfortable. In 1941, as members of the America First movement campaigned against U.S. involvement in World War II and expressed sympathy for the Nazis, plenty of people already knew that Jews were being persecuted in Hitlers Germany. Even Charles Lindbergh , the famous aviator who led the America First movement, knew it.

It is not difficult to understand why Jewish people desire the overthrow of Nazi Germany, Lindbergh said in Des Moines, Iowa, in September 1941. The persecution they suffered in Germany would be sufficient to make bitter enemies of any race.

But Lindbergh blamed Jewish Americans for pushing the country towards war, and warned that tolerance of Jews in America could not survive war with Germany. The greatest danger to the U.S., he argued, came not from the Axis powers but in what he saw as Jewish ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government.

This is dark stuff so dark its even inspired literature. Philip Roth, perhaps the most famous Jewish American writer, published The Plot Against America in 2004. The novel imagines an alternate U.S. history in which America Firsts Lindbergh won the presidential election in 1940, defeating Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Things dont go too well for the Jews after that.

How can people like these be in charge of our country? If I didnt see it with my own eyes, Id think I was having a hallucination, Roths father says in the book.

In real life, Lindbergh a celebrity who was at least as famous as Trump at a time when public anti-Semitism was far more acceptable than it is today actually faced some backlash for his speech , as The New Yorkers Louisa Thomas noted in July:

Anti-Semitism was prevalent in Lindbergs time; his attitudes were not fringe. He had not made a secret of his interest in eugenics, nor his racial attitudes, which today seem reprehensible. But with that 1941 speech he seemed to cross a line. He was strongly and swiftly condemned for his anti-Semitic and divisive wordsnot only by interventionists who were opposed to America First but by those who had lionized him. The Des Moines Register called his speech so intemperate, so unfair, so dangerous in its implications that it cannot but turn many spadefuls in the digging of the grave of his influence in this country. The Hearst papers, which were generally sympathetic to the non-interventionistsand open about their hatred of Franklin Rooseveltcondemned Lindbergh, calling his speech un-American. His home town took his name off its water tower.

Trump has received some similar criticism: For many Americans, the term America First will always be associated with and tainted by this history, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt warned last April. In a political season that already has prompted a national conversation about civility and tolerance, choosing a call to action historically associated with incivility and intolerance seems ill-advised.

The new president doesnt seem chastened.

To me, America First is a brand-new modern term, he told The New York Times David Sanger in July . I never related it to the past.

But the past has a way of catching up to you. David Duke, the Holocaust denier and former KKK leader who endorsed Trump and celebrated his ascension to power , has long been happy with the slogan (he used it in his campaign for U.S. Senate ), and can hear the dog whistle loud and clear.
