A super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton is welcoming Donald Trump to Tuesday night’s GOP debate in Las Vegas with a little tech trolling that will let locals wear virtual versions of Trump’s trademark red baseball caps. But instead of bearing the billionaire’s slogan “Make America Great Again,” the digital hats read, “Deport Trump.”
In Nevada, users of Snapchat, the quickly growing social media app popular with millennials, will have access to a geofilter paid for by Priorities USA that adds a Trump cap, complete with little tufts of blond hair, to their selfies. The deportation message is a reference to Trump’s punitive anti-immigration stances, and is targeted to a state that is heavily Hispanic.

“Donald Trump has offended nearly every segment of the population during his run for President and while we don’t expect Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio or the rest of the GOP field to use this filter since they’ve all promised to support him if he’s the nominee, voters in Nevada now have a fun way to tell Donald Trump just what they think of him and his offensive ideas,” said Priorities USA spokesperson Justin Barasky.
While the gimmick isn’t costing the super PAC much money — just “five figures,” according to aide, for a group that plans to spend hundreds of millions next year — it’s an innovative application of new technology that campaigns and political groups are just beginning to explore as they seek new ways to reach voters.
