Perhaps it’s a mere coincidence that Donald Trump, white nationalists and far-right extremists find themselves so often mentioned in the same sentence.
But we don’t think so.
The former president — poor guy — claims to know nothing about them. In 2016, Trump feigned ignorance about former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke, who endorsed him. Trump later, and begrudgingly, disavowed him. In 2020, Trump acted like he knew nothing about groups like the Proud Boys during a debate before telling them to “Stand back and stand by.”
