Since #BlacksforTrump is trending, and people are posting this picture. Talking about the *Okay* sign. Let me throw some facts out there!
The entire saga started out as an online joke - taking an innocent and widely used gesture and pretending there was a sinister hidden meaning behind it, hoping to trick the media and left-leaning people into outrage.
It's a result of a deliberate hoax concocted on the internet message board 4chan, which in addition to its well-earned reputation as a gateway to the racist “alt-right” is perhaps more broadly known as the home of trolling culture.
In February 2017, 4chan users launched Operation O-KKK to "flood Twitter and other social media websites" with posts claiming the OK hand symbol was a "symbol of white supremacy," along with a picture of an OK symbol identifying the three up-turned fingers as a symbol for
"W" and the thumb-and-forefinger circle as a symbol for "P"
Here is a video of YouTuber Anthony Brian Logan explaining why the symbol is NOT White Power
This is the actual sign for White Power! One hand creates a "W" and the other a "P"
It's a deliberate attempt to “trigger liberals” into overreacting to a gesture so widely used that virtually anyone has plausible deniability built into their use of it in the first place.
Jim Hoft and a writer for his site flashed the “white power sign” at the White House Press Briefing Room, the trolls at 4chan responded with a hoax they titled “Operation O-KKK.” The plan?
Now let's jump into this *Trump is racist crap*First this is Kara Young #Trumps girlfriend of 2 years. she once said, “I never heard him say a disparaging comment towards any race of people,” It’s horrifying what happened at the rally,”
“I think it’s crazy, and I think it’s sad that this is where our country is.”
Don King who said "Every white woman should cast their vote for Trump"
“We’ve had this wild surge of new testimonials coming in the past few weeks, largely in the black community,” said Brandon Straka, founder of #WalkAway, a social media campaign for disenchanted Democrats leaving the party.
“They feel taken for granted, manipulated, and lied to by Democrats. They’re sick of the fearmongering.”

Trump has even received the 2007 Muhammad Ali Award at Celebrity Fight Night XIII, an annual fundraiser for Phoenix-based charities.
They are bitter political rivals today, but GOP front-runner Donald Trump once donated thousands of dollars to the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Youth Movement and did personal favors for him, National Review reports. The pair's relationship appears to have begun in the late 1980s

History lesson
The Bellamy salute is a palm-out salute created by James B. Upham as the gesture that was to accompany the American Pledge of Allegiance, which had been written by Francis Bellamy. It was also known as the "flag salute" during the period when it was used with the
INow up there is the flag; I come to salute; as I say "I pledge allegiance to my flag," I stretch out my right hand and keep it raised while I say the stirring words that follow. ImageImage
Pledge of Allegiance. Bellamy promoted the salute and it came to be associated with his name. Both the Pledge and its salute originated in 1892. It wasn't until 1920 when Hitler stole it Image
