Donald Trump Jr. Shares White Supremacist Meme
Just two months after the Trump campaign got into trouble for tweeting an image that was widely seen as anti-Semitic, a member of the Republican nomineeās family is at it again. On Sunday, Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of Donald Trump, proudly promoted the above Instagram post, which includes a meme frequently shared by white supremacists. āApparently I made the cut as one of the Deplorables,ā he wrote, referring to a series of controversial comments Hillary Clinton recently made about Trumpās supporters. āAll kidding aside I am honored to be grouped with the hard working men and women of this great nation that have supported@realdonaldtrump and know that he can fix the mess created by politicians in Washington.ā
The image, which plays off Sylvester Stalloneās geriatric action movie The Expendables, shows Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his sons alongside such āhard working menā as prominent conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Breitbart commentator Milo Yiannopoulosāwho was banned from Twitter for inciting hateful rhetoricāand Pepe the Frog, an amphibian meme that has been appropriated by Trumpās āalt-rightā followers, some of whom use the image to peddle racism, anti-Semitism, and white nationalism.
Roger Stone, a longtime Trump ally, tweeted the same image on Saturday, while former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who is running for Senator in Louisiana, tweeted his own version of the meme, boasting the tagline: āAnti-Racist is a code word for anti-white.ā

On Jan. 7, Cheri Jacobus, a Republican consultant and pundit who is suing Trump for defamation and has been harassed by Trump supporters, tweeted, āThe green frog symbol is what white supremacists use in their propaganda. U donāt want to go there.ā

@JaredTSwift said some of the support for Trump was in jest, but for most of his cohorts, itās sincere. He even claimed to have voted for Trump in the primary himself, wherever it is he lives, and said heād vote for him in the general, too.
āIn a sense, weāve managed to push white nationalism into a very mainstream position,ā he said. āTrumpās online support has been crucial to his success, I believe, and the fact is that his biggest and most devoted online supporters are white nationalists. Now, weāve pushed the Overton window. People have adopted our rhetoric, sometimes without even realizing it. Weāre setting up for a massive cultural shift.ā
