But the exact opposite is the case. As usual only the anti-trump posts are visible while the rest is -4'd within seconds. This story is entirely made up. No one even knew that symbol and it was obviously not meant in that constructed sense. And now we take MM as a source, suggesting that they said "heil h....?" This entire story is against the submissions anyways. This is so wrong.
So what sense was the symbol meant in? What’s the alternative, plausible explanation? And no, using a red triangle to mean “antifa” is not plausible given how much more common “flags in a circle” is for the group.
The other icons used in the campaign are very generic. Even my Telegram has such a triangle not too far away from the also used "slow emoji". Another explanation could be that it is used by the antifa. It might not be as prominent as the flags, but it is a first-page hit on an image-search and I have seen that symbol multiple times.
At the very least it is not plausible at all that the trump campaign intentionally and openly uses Nazi iconography to mark them as to be gassed, using an additional 88 (=...) symbol in tandem. That is not plausible. In particular because of the source.
In a day or two this will be officially proven to be a complete lie, but no one will care. And submissions to document this will be ignored like they always are.

Like that time he had an image of Hillary Clinton, on a background of money, with a "most corrupt ever" caption written in the middle of a star of David. It's intentional.

You're probably confused because like a normal person you see a contradiction, and you appear to resolve it with the most charitable interpretation. Others may resolve it with the non charitable explanation.
He on the other hand has no problem with the contradiction of using an anti-semitic ad while having Jewish family if the ad resonates with his supporters and serves his interests, which it did.
This is one of his unique abilities: allegiance to nothing but himself, therefore contradictions that arise from loyalty to a principle or person are meaningless.
And you can't be racist if you have a black, asian, &c., partner, right? I grew up in Texas, I know how frequently racists will mark someone as, "one of the good ones."
No like the other icons in that campaign, like I said. Other symbols included stop signs, another red triangle with an exclamation mark etc. It's obvious that they were just generic symbols - all of them similar and benign. They constructed this insane narrative with the triangle, made up some bullshit around it (88 of them) and set the usual machine in motion (MM, ADL, MSM, blue checkmarks). And you all know it.
Every single instance of an upside down red triangle on an image search for "antifa symbol" is a screenshot of a post from the Trump campaign. There is no use of the symbol without referring to that campaign post.
I'm getting it on the first page as well, but I think you're missing some chronological logic: at the time they created the ad they couldn't possibly be seeing their own ad as the first results.
