White supremacist intern


And George Washington himself is calling him out.  Or is Washington praising him?
A fellow intern told DailyMail.com: 'Jack's a good kid and is probably doing it as a joke. Some people do consider it a joke because it is the OK sign.'

Sure. That's it.
[Jack] Breuer, an Emory University alum in his early 20s, worked for Stephen Miller, the president's senior advisor for policy for four months starting in September.
Stephen Miller, Trump's ultra-alt-righter in the White House.
Jack Breuer, who graduated from Emory University in Atlanta this year, is clearly bucking orders — personally given by the president — to give a thumbs-up in the picture that was taken in the White House in November.

[...]

It is the same sign that white nationalist Richard Spencer gave on the steps of the Trump International Hotel on election night and that right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos posed with in front of the White House.

It was also seen at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August - the same day an alleged Nazi sympathizer accelerated his car into anti-protesters, killing one and injuring several others.

[...]

The gesture [...] is said to depict the letter 'W' with the outstretched middle, ring and little fingers, and a 'P' with the circle made by the thumb and forefinger stretching down to the wrist. Together 'WP' stands for White Power.

[...]

Breuer's controversial stand was only spotted when other interns were mailed the picture from the White House earlier this month — just in time for Christmas.

'Context is everything,' one fellow intern told DailyMail.com. 'Jack is pictured with President Trump, one of the most controversial leaders we've had.

'It is a distinct symbol known in alt-right circles [...] '
The joke's on Trump, eh?

He got his pound of flesh.
The intern said Breuer's placement in the picture would not have been Breuer's decision because all the interns were marched in one-by-one and carefully positioned by height to improve the aesthetics of the photograph. They then waited for nearly 90 minutes before the president arrived.
Let the peasants know where they stand.
The fellow intern added: 'When President Trump arrived he spoke for a while about how beautiful we all are — and even mentioned some of the interns being fired.
What?
'He joked for a bit then asked us all to do his signature thumbs up pose then went on his way.'
