'Students for Trump' group posts photo of Martin Luther King statue wearing ‘Make America Great Again’ hat on University of South Florida campus
We have a nightmare: A Martin Luther King Jr.
That hat: Bad on Trump, worse on MLK.
We have a nightmare: A Martin Luther King Jr. statue sullied with one of Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign hats.
And thanks to a pro-Trump student group, we now have a picture showing exactly that — timed right for the anniversary of King’s death.
The “students4trump” Instagram account posted a pic last Tuesday showing the defiled statue, which sits on the University of South Florida campus in Tampa, according to WPTV.
The picture shows a Snapchat caption declaring: “MLK KNOWS #Trump2016.” On Instagram, the group wrote in its caption: “Pretty self explanatory. #StudentsForTrump #TrumpTrain #Trump #TrumpTeam #MakeAmericaGreatAgain #Trump2016.”
Apparently there wasn’t room for “#shameful.”
The photo went online the day after the 48th anniversary of King’s assassination. Since then, it has scored more than 2,500 likes.
School spokesman Adam Freeman said administrators do not know who pulled off the tasteless Trump troll.

"The hat is not currently there," he told the Daily News.
The Florida chapter rep for the Students for Trump group didn’t answer emails from the News.
Trump won the Florida primary and lured about 10,000 followers to a rallyat the University of South Florida's Sun Dome facility, where the flock chanted: “Build the wall!”
