At the Republican National Convention in July, Donald Trump entered the stage through a cloud of fog to Queen's "We Are the Champions." On Friday night in Miami, he may have out-done that dramatic entrance when his campaign projected an image behind his podium of the "Les Deplorables" meme, which originated on The_Donald subreddit. This time, the entrance music was "Do You Hear the People Sing?" from the musical Les Misérables. Many of Trump's most fervent fans have embraced the "basket of deplorables" label placed on them by Hillary Clinton at a fundraiser last weekend. Now, it appears the candidate has done the same. “Welcome to all of you deplorables,” he said at the top of his remarks.
