Trump Tweets FAKE Photo Of Black Supporters After Racist Meltdown

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2016/06/04/trump-tweets-fake-photo-of-black-supporters-after-racist-meltdown/

The episode is part of a pattern with Trump, who often retweets images created by his supporters that more often than not are either conspiracy theories, complete fakes, racist or some combination of the three. They reflect a lot of the values the presumptive Republican presidential nominee has mainstreamed in his short political career.

Trump has expressed strong belief in the conspiracy theory that President Obama was not born in the United States, that climate change is a hoax created by the Chinese, and in the idea that immigrants are mostly criminals and rapists.

Pushing the photo of fake black supporters comes after a day in which Trump pointed to a black man at a campaign rally in California and referred to him as “my African-American.”

Hit his supporters with the fact that they're getting duped on a daily basis. Maybe we can pity shame his supporters into staying home on Election Day.
