Description | A Silicon Valley titan is putting money behind an unofficial Donald Trump group dedicated to “****posting” and circulating internet memes maligning Hillary Clinton.
Nimble America says it’s dedicated to proving that “****posting is powerful and meme magic is real,” according to the company’s introductory statement, and has taken credit for a billboard its founders say was posted outside of Pittsburgh with a cartoonishly large image of Clinton’s face alongside the words “Too Big to Jail.”
“We conquered Reddit and drive narrative on social media, conquered the [mainstream media], now it’s time to get our most delicious memes in front of Americans whether they like it or not,” a representative for the group wrote in an introductory post on Reddit. |
