You are ignoring the context of the situation. The context matters. When a group of people who espouse hate against minorities on a daily basis use identical symbols as other groups in history who also espoused hate on a daily basis towards the same minority groups, it is not a coincidence.
Analyzing every move by Trump or his administration or campaign individually, without context of the surrounding mood of the nation or recent history, will lead you to the wrong conclusions.
There is a lot more subtle hate in the world than most people were expecting to exist. But it's there, and when you see time after time the same sneaky tricks used to spread hate, they no longer look like coincidences at all. The 'simplicity' of the symbol is irrelevant. It is simple by design, to give the racists who use it a 'cover' for their racism ("see it's just a triangle you're crazy for seeing things"). The pattern fits, it's racism and hate directed at minorities.
This is a pattern, and pretending each action in the pattern is unrelated to each other or likely all coincidences, is effectively disinformation.
These racist and hateful remarks and statements are not all just accidents.
