Donald Trump: 'I Don't Really' See A Rise In White Nationalism | HuffPost

A white nationalist is a suspect in the New Zealand mosque attack that left dozens dead.

President Donald Trump said Friday that he doesn’t think white nationalism is a growing problem.

In a press conference after he vetoed Congress’ attempt to end his national emergency over border wall funding, Trump was asked various questions in relation to the mass shootings at two mosques in New Zealand on Friday. According to a pool report, one reporter asked the president if he saw a rise in white nationalism around the world.
============================================
Trump did not disavow white nationalists. Why should he disavow one of his most potent weapons in his climb towards becoming king or emperor?

That Trump does not "see" it is typical, the man is a moron and blind to almost all of reality, he only picks and chooses what his populist views allow him to agree with, the rest is either not something he sees or are lies/fake news/more lies/bias towards him/etc.etc.etc.

The man could see the nose on his face if he didn't have to apply the orange make up to he looks like he has on

So there are 62,000,000 white nationalists in America? Or do you just say dumb things?

I think even SPLC claimed that there were only 5000-8000 Klansmen in America. Thats like 100 per state. That doesnt sound like a 'growing' threat. It sounds like a nonexistent one.

Does New Zealand have a growing white nationalist problem? Was this guy part of a larger group or movement in that country? Are there throngs of white nationalist New Zealanders marching in defense of this man and his actions? If the answer to those questions is 'no' then you may have identified the wrong 'moron.'

Peter King said:

That is just ludicrous to claim that just because there is no right wing marching in NZ that there is no white nationalist problem. The world is larger than NZ. But it is nice to see the Trump apologist faction getting right in there to defend the Orange Idiot.

If calling him a Trump apologist is all you have. Then you came to this discussion severely under equipped.

It's so interesting when I can recognize an incapable poster right off the bat. That and it is just a little sad as well.

As usual, the President was right.

So-called "white nationalism" is NOT a major problem.


Those FEW individuals who call themselves "nationalists" or "supremacists" are what other people refer to as "losers."

They have NO influence on government policy.


They simply serve as a convenient whipping boy for those activists who want to blame everything on a particular ethnicity.

Well the same argument could be made about Muslim terrorists- a very few among the MILLIONS of peaceful followers of Islam.

Now don't be modest, white nationalism is alive and well in our politics, and they have had influence on government policy. Remember the ban tRump tried to push through in the beginning??? tRump is pandering to his white pride base when he declares 'crisis on the border', and calls asylum seekers drug runners and known criminals. Remember the President declared there were 'good' people marching with the white pride agitators during our recent white pride marches that had white power 'loser' killing an American citizen? Remember Congress 'loser' King??? He was very influential in Congress for years as chairman of various committees.

I'd say the white power deflectors are useful idiots for the white pride activists who are intent on trying to hang on to power based on ethnicity... eace

I love the "got more votes arguments."

It is like they are trying to throw a basketball at a three par golf hole.

Ineffective to say the least.
