US students have expressed outrage at a photo appearing to show a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. wearing a red Donald Trump 'Make America Great Again' hat.
The photo - which looks as though it came from the social media app Snapchat - bears the caption 'MLK KNOWS #TRUMP 2016' and is believed to have been taken in the grounds of the University of South Florida.
The photo was shared on the 'students4trump' Instagram page six days ago, accompanied with the caption 'Pretty self explanatory'.
A number of hashtags followed the caption, including #StudentsForTrump #TrumpTrain #Trump #TrumpTeam #MakeAmericaGreatAgain and #Trump2016.
The picture received over 2,500 likes.
