Trump fan busted for posing as black woman on Twitter to win over minority voters (GD16 GP)

[Her Sister]

In case you haven’t noticed, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has a serious problem with minority voters — in fact, some polls have found that more than 90% of black voters have an unfavorable opinion of him.

Because of this, it’s not surprising that at least one Trump fan has come up with a wacky gambit to win over minority voters by impersonating a young black woman on Twitter using the account handle, “BlackGirl4Trump.”

How do we know that they’re impersonating a black woman? Because the woman whose photo is being used in BlackGirl4Trump’s profile is not happy about it.

Here was her initial reaction after being alerted by a friend that her photo was swiped for a pro-Trump Twitter account:

This was followed by demands that the Trump fan stop using her photo:

As of this writing, BlackGirl4Trump is still using the stolen photo, despite the fact that many users say they’ve reported the account to Twitter.

3. The Orange Clump watches too much 'reality' teevee

Now it seems he is inspired by the show Catfish.

4. It was a Trump fan being stupid this time!

Not the Trumpador himself. He probably was an inspiration though

5. It would help if I'd read more

6. smh

I will never understand the ignorant mindset that would play into a white person attempting to impersonate a black person, and believing it would fool people and help them make gains.

7. Why do people go to the trouble of doing this?

Is there anyone whose voting decision is influenced by something a random person on Twitter says?

8. Catfishing for votes! Catfishing: What losers do!

When I have watched that show every time we find who the Catfish is, they are always the biggest losers in the pond, lake, ocean!

Really sucks to be them!

9. It's disgusting and if I were that girl with the stole identity, i'd be pissed as hell

and would round up hundreds of people to spam that twitter account all day until the picture is removed. Continually spamming until the picture is removed and a public apology is given.

10. Wondering if people can sue someone doing that. Maybe finally that'd stop a lot of people

Catfishing of all types...

11. They're so desperate.. Kick for more exposure!

12. I guess that RWer who used a made up picture to pretend to be a mixed race

woman named Jeanette Jing was a slightly better troll.

13. Reminds me of the movie Silverstreak

where Gene Wilder used shoe polish to make himself appear black. No pigment needed on twitter!
