 * Trump Pepe already a meme this time last year, & tweeted by Trump himself.

Kek
Kek comes from the old days of world of warcraft. When a human or orc in the game said "lol", the other one would see "kek" in the chat box. This is a will know meme in gameing. I don't know why its here.&mdash; Unsigned, by: 107.72.164.100 / talk / contribs 15:26, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Because Kek also happens to be the name of a Egyptian Chaos God who is a frog. Since Pepe was trending at the time 4chan realized this, they have associated Pepe with a chaos god who shares a name with a WoW meme. 74.77.221.89 (talk) 01:15, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Why waste time on Pepe ?
Been on 9gag for a while, and I saw many people using the meme, but never for nationalist meanings. Frankly, it's useless to waste time on a fucking frog, there's literally no point in having a page on a meme, while we could try to make pages on actual politics/pseudoscience/conspiracy theories.

 * Wow, so that's a helpful tone. Honestly, I wish you knew the basics. And yeah, notice which site that is. Even TOW finds Pepe, and that's without sharing our particular profile of highlighting all things related to fringe- and hate movements. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 02:23, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, 9gag? Let me help you with that. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 02:25, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Trump and Pepe, sittin' in a tree...
While this is a mashup (the pose to the right most likely being coincidental), the tweet to the left is not fake. Old news, but Trump actually tweeted that. Seen here as part of a mashup from, you guessed it — the Daily Stormer. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 03:02, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Pepe in Spain
In Spanish Pepe is just is a pet form of the Spanish name José nd is extremely common. No wonder there is a "Casa Pepe" in Spain or that ome people called Pepe (wich again, is perhaps the most common name in Spain) happen to be fascists.90.165.105.215 (talk) 20:45, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
