In another scene from Trump’s America, swastikas and the message “Go Trump” were found spray painted on Friday in Brooklyn Heights, New York, on a playground named in honor of Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch.
The photos surfaced and circulated on Twitter:

Yauch, like the rest of the Beastie Boys, was Jewish (though he practiced Buddhism later in life).
Earlier this week, Donald Trump named Steve Bannon — former CEO of Breitbart.com, which Bannon himself describes as the platform of the white nationalist, anti-Semitic “alt-right” movement — his chief strategist.
