Donald Trump’s inner circle all spotted wearing pizza-shaped pin sparking bizarre Illuminati and Nazi theories

in April: "The use of a pink triangle badge by the Nazis to identify homosexuals, as one of several differently coloured badges worn by prisoners in camps, is well known, of course, but that hardly seems likely to be the source of this pin."

And Sabine Mödersheim, a University of Wisconsin professor who is on the executive committee of the International Society for Emblem Studies, said a hint to the pin's meaning could lie in its colours.

She said: "Split colours […] are common in heraldry, sometimes signifying the union of two lines or families.

";As to the choice of colours, my guess would be that they tried to allude to the Trump gold logos and some vague association with wealth and royalty in the purple."

The first sighting of a Trump staffer wearing the pin was on December 1, 2015.

It was worn by Mr Lewandowski during a meeting with black pastors.

However it is only now that internet users have spotted the pin being widely worn by Trump's staff.

And conspiracy theorists on Twitter are already bickering on whether or not the triangular symbol has a greater meaning - and if it could be linked to the Illuminati.

The US Congress today certified the Electoral College vote that gave Trump the victory in the 2016 presidential election.

Trump won 304 electoral votes compared to 227 garnered by Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton, according to the tally announced by Vice President Joe Biden.
