A little more about the Crusader iconography on Don Jr's weapon:
DEUS VULT
“Deus vult” is Latin for “God wills it,” a phrase once used among Crusaders.The phrase was supposedly used in a speech made by Pope Urban II in 1095, in which he implored the First Crusade to take the “Holy Land” back from Muslim rule. As Ishaan Tharoor has written in The Washington Post, the alt-right has taken on iconography of the Crusades in their messaging campaigns. Tharoor writes that the phrase “has become a kind of far-right code word” and is used as a hashtag throughout social media and racist graffiti. In October 2016, two Arkansas mosques were spray-painted with Islamophobic messages and swastikas, as well as “deus vult.”
