Donald Trump Can’t Hide As His Deep Relationship With White Supremacists Is Confirmed

By Sarah Jones on Wed, Jul 13th, 2016 at 1:36 pm

If you're tired of Trump supporters claiming they're not racists when they are fetching upon hearing Donald Trump's dog whistles, listen up. Here's the proof that there is a deep relationship between Donald Trump and white supremacists.


Nicholas Confessore reported in the New York Times on the “circular current” that flows between white nationalists and Donald Trump:

Mr. Trump’s Twitter presence is tightly interwoven with hordes of mostly anonymous accounts trafficking in racist and anti-Semitic attacks. When Little Bird, a social media data mining company, analyzed a week of Mr. Trump’s Twitter activity, it found that almost 30 percent of the accounts Mr. Trump retweeted in turn followed one or more of 50 popular self-identified white nationalist accounts. At times, a circular current seems to flow between white nationalists and Mr. Trump on Twitter.


And…

On the internet, Mr. Trump is invoked by anonymous followers brandishing stark expressions of hate and anti-Semitism, surprisingly amplified this month when Mr. Trump tweeted a graphic depicting Hillary Clinton’s face with piles of cash and a six-pointed star that many viewed as a Star of David.

Rump points to and gives a shout out to his token black man at a rally,' Look, look, there's MY darkie!' Just like the good old days down on the plantation.

racism, xenophobia, and unremitting hostility toward bicycle riders, sushi eaters, Bill of Rights supporters, or anyone else signaling they're from another tribe, are the core of tRump's support.

Social cons have tremendous overlap with religious cons, and that overlap includes the "evangelicals for tRump" types many were surprised at, but not social scientists.

These major troublemakers, a chronic pustular rash erupting on society, are mercifully always a minority. If their constant hostility and aggression toward their favorite targets wins out, it's everyone else's fault too. They are always with us stirring up trouble, and we know that all too well.

fact of him being a white supremacist just makes his potential voter base, just grow and grow. What is this shit that right after a POTUS of color, we have this racial division.? Schizoid this country's people and culture are. This is a growing sickness that will end who knows where.
