Abstract
I examine the US presidential election of 2016 and how hidden groups related to the alt-rightmanipulated the social media with hoaxes and memes. I examine some of the media platformsand forums where these contents mainly appeared during the campaign and I also present theanatomy of the groups’ previous actions, and from these I attempt to demonstrate that theirefforts are coordinated and their methods have become more sophisticated in the recent years.

Summary
A 2016. évi amerikai elnökválasztás sok szempontból újszerűnek volt tekinthető. Nemcsak a végeredmény váratlansága, és az általa kiváltott indulatok folytán, hanem az azt övező médiával kapcsolatos problémák és a választási eljárás tisztasága kapcsán felvetett megkérdőjelezhetősége miatt is. KULCSSZAVAK: 4chan, Donald Trump, közösségi média, álhírek, alt-right, mémek
