An absurd cartoon frog is planted in the background of an image shared by President Donald Trump, proclaiming that he's "on a mission from God."
The cartoon — small, but out of place in the black and white photograph of a city street — is Pepe the Frog, a web comic character flagged as a hate symbol following the far-rights adoption of the character over a decade ago. Pepe's inclusion, which may go unnoticed by many scrollers, initially feels like a jolting distraction from the photo's messaging.
