Trump claims ‘a great relationship with the blacks,’ but his appeals to nativism tell another story
interesting.
As Trump has galvanized the anti-immigration movement, seizing control of a primary process that was supposed to be about traditional Republican economic and foreign-policy issues, he has begun attracting support from some of the more unsavory elements on the right-wing fringe: neo-Nazis, Klansmen and white-power advocates. The Daily Stormer, described by the New Yorker as “America’s most popular neo-Nazi news site,” endorsed his run within weeks of his announcement. Craig Cobb, who gained national attention in 2013 over a failed plan to set up a whites-only town in North Dakota, has resurrected the idea, and said he would name the place after Trump. And as was widely reported, Trump’s huge rally in Mobile, Ala., last week was greeted with a shout of “white power” from someone in the crowd — a remark that Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, suggested the candidate might not have heard.
