Donald Trump's Parents Wore Ku Klux Klan Attire?

A photograph that purports to show Donald Trump's parents wearing Klan robes is a hoax.

A photograph purportedly showing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump standing with hisparents after they have donned Ku Klux Klan robes added to the noise as the presidential race heated up in September 2016:
This photograph is not genuine and has been rather clumsily altered from the original, in which all three of them are wearing perfectly normal (and color-coördinated) clothing without a hint of Klan insignia:
This isn’t even the first time that Ku Klux Klan robes have been digitally inserted into an image during the 2016 presidential election. For example, an altered photograph of former U.S. Senator Robert Byrd wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe has been widely circulated on social media in an attempt to link Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to the white supremacist group. While Byrd did join the KKK in his twenties (and spent much of his later life publicly atoning for his early choices), the altered image shows him wearing the robe much later in his life.

The only way a liberal can win an election is through cheating. Deceit and lying are all a part of that cheating. Open up your eyes people. You're just useful idiots for the Left.

You can tell it was photo-shopped, and bad too... Looking at the hands around his dad are white and blurred...

Exercise in futility from the left. They are desperate and grasping for anything to further their cause. Folks, we should be so thankful Hillary did not get elected and not just because her last name is Clinton. Trump is and will continue to make America great again. Just watch!

Unfortunately the dumbing down of younger generations, combined with social media, have created an ideal populace for the left to propagandize. People spread this like wildfire and think it's legitimate. The leftist, deep state understands this perfectly. Create a lie, put it out to be spread 10,000 times in minutes, push the narrative behind that lie.
