This is what Trump does and then has the gall to ask black people to give him a chance! A chance to what? Lynch them? As of 3-July-2016, Donald Trump has retweeted white supremacists 75 times since his campaign began.
Those are the facts. There're plain to see. Nobody held a gun to Trump's head making him accord to those racists his tacit approbation by retweeting them. Actions speak louder than words.
- October 2015 -- twice retweeted praise from the Dutch white supremacist, Jason Bergkamp and has done so at least six times between October 2015 and April 2016.
- November 2015 -- thrice retweeted praise from the Dutch white supremacist, Jason Bergkamp
- January 2016:
- "Marshall Kirkpatrick, of social-media analytics company Little Bird, took a look at the 21 people the Donald has blessed with his fantastic, luxurious retweets this week, and discovered that six of them follow major white-nationalist accounts, and 13 of them follow multiple accounts that have used the #whitegenocide hashtag. It turns out that Donald Trump mostly retweets white supremacists saying nice things about him."
- Trump tweeted a graphic with fake statistics about murders in the United States.
- Donald Trump took to Twitter to insult one of his Republican opponents, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. After lambasting Bush for being a “low energy guy,” Trump retweeted another user’s photoshopped picture of a disheveled Bush holding a “Vote Trump” sign outside of the Trump tower.
The problem, however, is that the account he retweeted appears to be operated by a Nazi sympathizing white nationalist.
Trump neither explained nor apologized for the retweet and then, three weeks later, he did it again.
Moreover:- The official Twitter account for Trump’s campaign in Nevada follows #WhiteGenocide influencers #3 and #40.
- The official Twitter account for Trump’s campaign in North Carolina previously followed #20, #74 and #77.
- Tana Goertz, a senior Trump advisor and co-chair of his Iowa campaign, follows #74 and #117.
- Nancy Mace, Trump’s South Carolina coalitions director, follows #20 and #35.
- Elizabeth Mae Davidson, a former campaign staffer who later sued Trump’s campaignfor alleged sexual discrimination, follows #40.
- Dena Espenscheid, Trump’s Virginia field director, follows #5, #22 and #35.

- Trump neither checks nor cares that an account like@NeilTurner_ ― which he has retweeted five times ― includes the phrase “#WhiteGenocide is real” in its bio.
What the data shows, however, is that Donald Trump and his campaign have used social media to court support within the white supremacist community, whether intentionally or unintentionally. And it appears to have worked.

- Surprise! Donald Trump retweeted another white supremacist
Donald Trump celebrated last night’s resounding victory in the New York GOP primary the way he knows best: by retweeting the congratulatory message of a Hitler-admiring, Muslim-hating, Trump-supporting white supremacist.
