Trump Supporter Posts Kid’s Racist MAGA Halloween Costume

A man named Jonathan Lee Burgsteiner had deleted his Twitter account after political writer Alex Cole drew attention to him by reposting an image supposedly of Burgsteiner’s kids. The picture is a three-part Halloween costume featuring three children. The first kid is wearing a MAGA hat and is supposed to be Donald Trump. The other two kids, who are in fake chains being led by the Trump, are supposed to be Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, presumably being taken to jail. The child dressed up as Barack Obama is painted in blackface.

It also appears that the Trump child is throwing up the “OK” hand gesture that the Anti-Defamation League has labeled a white supremacy symbol, and which has been seen being made by various White House officials.

The picture was found to be associated with a Twitter account belonging to someone with the handle @JonathanTalking. A screenshot seems to show him posting the picture and tagging Donald Trump, the White House Press Secretary, Sean Hannity and others close to the president.
