White Supremacist Wants To Name His All-White Town After Donald Trump

Source: TPM

In what's both a blatant ploy for attention and the ultimate act of adulation, a self-described white supremacist attempting for the second time to carve out an all-white enclave in remote North Dakota said he may name it after real estate mogul Donald Trump.

The Grand Forks Herald newspaper reported earlier this month that Craig Cobb planned to change the name of the town of Antler, North Dakota to "Trump Creativity" or "Creativity Trump." It's a mash-up of the Republican presidential candidate, whom Cobb told the newspaper he admires, and the Creativity Movement, a self-styled religion to which Cobb subscribes that promotes the superiority of white people.

"Some of the citizens aren't happy with the situation," Bottineau County Sheriff Steve Watson told the newspaper of Cobb's plan.

But Cobb may never make enough headway in establishing his Aryan utopia to name it after Trump. Like his first attempt at taking over the small town of Leith, North Dakota, the white supremacist's plans for Antler are being thwarted by the town's residents.

As Vocativ reported, the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer posted an "official endorsement" of Trump's candidacy while the Council of Conservative Citizen's Kyle Rogers encouraged his Twitter followers to purchase Trump 2016 T-shirts (his account has since been deactivated). Dylann Roof, the white 21-year-old who allegedly gunned down nine black churchgoers earlier this summer in Charleston, South Carolina, credited the Council of Conservative Citizen with opening his eyes to black-on-white crime in a chilling manifesto posted online.

He'll find a way to sue this guy if he wants to use the Trump name. Not because he minds the guy using his name. But because he minds the guy not paying him to use it.

It would be beautiful. T Rump would either have to endorse it or sue him, either way, he's fucked.

The "W" with a crown. "Mud races."

But they lack the empathy and social development of most 5 year olds.
