THE WHITE SUPREMACIST AND DONALD TRUMP
From the moment Donald Trump declared his ambition to run for the office of the president of the United States of America, He got a massive support from the KKK, Neo Naxi, White Supremacists and other Alt Right groups. The rise of Donald trump’s political career has got everything to do with The White nationalist groups. In Donald Trump, the Alt Right movement feels they have a voice in the White House. They are his core base; to them Donald Trump could do no wrong. The relationship between Donald trump and the alt right movement is mutual. They love the president and the president loves them equally. The rally by the Neo Naxi in Charlottesville that led to the death of Heather Heyer and many others getting injured, when a car rammed into a crowd of counter protesters is a grim reminder of America’s checkered history and how divided the united state is. To be fair to Donald Trump, he did not start the issue of racism. In fact, racism has been a major problem from time immemorial in the United States. Donald Trump did not realize during his campaign that flirting with the various wide nationalist groups is going to create a major problem for his presidency. President Trump is not concerned with what the rest of the country thinks of him or his presidency. In fact, it is none of his business; they should all go to hell for all he cares. He is going to continue standing by his core base at whatever cost. The president’s statement after the Charlottesville incident reveals how he sees the whole thing. The president fails to condemn the white nationalist groups that lit torches and matched down the streets of Charlottesville, chanting
“JEWS WON’T REPLACE US”
“YOU (BLACKS) WON’T REPLACE US”
“WHOSE STREET (MEANING: WHITE STREET)”
“BLOOD AND SOIL” (A LINE FROM THE NAXI GERMANY IN HITLER ERA).
What many thought would have been an easy simple state from the president condemning these various hate groups (Neo Naxi, White Nationalists) proves to be a very difficult task for Mr. Trump. The president’s decision not to out rightly condemn these white nationalist groups that preaches hate and division will embolden them the more to continue in their violent path. Mr. Trump’s nationalist policy of enclosing America from the rest of the world starting a trade war with China and Mexico has endeared him to the Alt Right groups. The statistics from the 2016 U.S presidential Election shows that 58% of white working class men voted for Donald Trump. Donald Trump did well among white voters; they are the reason why he is the president of the Unites States of America. The president is condoning the KKK and Neo Naxi group because he feels he cannot afford to speak against them. The 2016 U.S election was the most divisive election in the history of the United States of America. The campaign rhetoric between the two leading contestants shows how polarized the United States is. Donald Trump on his own path has not helped matters either. His constant tweeting and attacking of Democrats and conservative republicans that do not agree with his policy, shows a man that is yet to realize the value of the office he currently occupies. President Donald Trump is supposed to be like a father of all be it Democrat or Republicans. He should be mending fences, trying to heal wounds that resulted from the heatedly contested presidential election. Weather Donald Trump likes it or not, there are many people who are still not happy that he won the election to become the president of the United States of America and still opposes his policy. It is for the president to call both friends and foes to the round table to discuss how best to move the country forward. He is yet to do that, perhaps his ego won’t let him. President Donald Trump is the greatest threat facing the United States of America, not ISIS or any other Islamic terrorist groups. His anti globalization policy is being used by ISIS and other terrorist groups as a major recruiting tool. They are telling their people that America hates them, that the U.S does not want them in their country and that in itself is dangerous and may ultimately hurt the United States in the future.
