About

#TrumpGirlsBreakTheInternet is a social media hashtag featuring photographs of women wearing Donald Trump presidential campaign merchandise to show their support for the 2016 Republican presidential candidate. After the tweets began surfacing in late June 2016, opponents of the Trump campaign began hijacking the hashtag with posts insulting his female supporters.

Origin

On June 25th, 2016, The Wall Street Journal[1] released poll results reporting that Hillary Clinton held a 17-point lead among women over Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election. That day, the @Bakedalaska[3] Twitter feed shared a photo of a young woman wearing a ""Make America Great Again"": hat with the hashtag "#TrumpGirlsBreakTheInternet" (shown below). Within four days, the tweet gained over 3,000 likes and 1,000 retweets.
