White woman holds "Blacks for Trump" sign at Florida rally
Source: CBS News
Donald Trump held a rally in Lakeland, Florida on Wednesday, addressing thousands of supporters amid the fallout from the Trump tape controversy. The crowd was as enthusiastic as ever, as Trump attacked his opponent Hillary Clinton and the members of his party who are no longer supporting him.
As usual, his supporters waved signs and cheered during his big lines -- including once again claiming Clinton is unfit to be president and should be in jail.
However, one thing was out of the ordinary: a white woman standing just behind Trump could clearly be seen holding a Blacks for Trump sign.

There's still no reason for any sentient being to support Trump, though.

(8,692 posts)Although he thinks Trump is a little too soft of crime, he wants to execute drug offenders and gang members without trial. And oh yeah, he wants young men from "broken homes" inducted into the army at age 12.
I suppose ex-military authoritarian gun nuts can be any ethnicity.

(23,340 posts)this man appears to be an all-around crazy person. His name is Michael/Maurice Symonette, but has also reportedly gone by "Michael the Black Man," "Maurice Woodside," and "Mikael Israel." On his YouTube page, he is identified as "Michaelwarns." He has several websites, including MichaelWarns.com and MichaelDefeatsSatan.com, Gods2.com, and MichaelsVictory.com, all of which promote his book, "written primarily to show the BLACK MAN, and the WORLD the true source of their problem, 33% of the BLACK WOMEN of AMERICA (BABYLON)." The cover of the book declares that Oprah Winfrey is "the devil" and "Obama is the beast 666, given power by the dragon (serpent), Oprah."
The Miami New Times reported that "Michael the Black Man" is a former member of a cult. As a radio host, he called for the El Portal, Florida, mayor to be "set on fire" and in 2000 labeled Jesse Jackson a "house negro," according to the New Times. He is now active in the tea party movement and frequently speaks at tea party gatherings. He hosts an online show called "The Michael the Black Man Show" in which he delivers religious rants about Obama, Lilith, and "homosexuals."

(27,787 posts)... look at the hand ... its black ... but the arm that appears to be holding it looks half white.
Then look at the two old white women on either side of the podium ... they look photo shopped.
I absolutely think the Trump campaign would have white people hold those signs. But the image itself looks odd to me.
