but currently among the most powerful on the planet. It's likely he is frightened of what's happening, he certainly couldn't stop it, but why would he resign when he's been in for it all along? And deludes himself that it may save him from us?
Trump just tweeted "Strength" to a RW group who believe he will be calling them to violent revolution, including of course execution of Democratic leaders. Then he (was persuaded to) pulled it back in.
Remember, ever since Trump started running for the presidency he's always surrounded himself with, and been surrounded by, white supremacist, white trans-national revolutionary, neo-Nazi, neofascist aides and ass-whisperers. Not just with corrupt assholes, but with RW extremists, and all RW extremist groups are white male supremacist.
A lot of the white supremacist extremists he actually brought into the WH with him were "outed" for what they were, and he was forced to fire those. But not only do others remain at his shoulder every day, but he's always been able to maintain contact with any he wished to. Including Steve Bannon, who's been fomenting trans-national revolution to create white continents. And Trump is also able to seek advice from vicious dictators around the planet, and does.
From the WaPo Opinion section on May 11 (!) by two terrorism experts:
The threat of domestic and international right-wing extremism is greater than it has been in decades.
Last month, the State Department designated a Russian white supremacist group, the Russian Imperial Movement, as a global terrorist organization and imposed sanctions on three of its leaders. The designations identified this group as providing training to white supremacists and neo-Nazis in Europe, which resulted in attacks carried out by two individuals in Sweden. The State Department described its action against the Russia Imperial Movement as “unprecedented." Indeed, it was the first time financial sanctions have been used to target a white supremacist group. One State Department official said that “we are taking actions no previous administration has taken to counter this threat.” ...
In October 2019, 40 members of Congress signed a letter to the State Department identifying numerous global right-wing extremist groups, including the Azov Battalion and National Action. And many other groups and individuals have been identified by allies such as Britain, Canada and Germany. Just last month, the United Nations committee dedicated to countering terrorism warned of “a recent increase in … frequency and lethality” of far right-wing terrorism, mentioning incidents in New Zealand, Germany and the United States. The report cites studies identifying a 320 percent rise in extreme right-wing attacks globally over the past five years.
The Department of Homeland Security has stated that “white supremacist violent extremism … is one of the most potent forces driving domestic terrorism.” Law enforcement agencies have been increasingly turning their attention to the domestic white supremacist threat. But the U.S. response to the global threat has lagged. ...
Of course experts believe the subversion of angry black protests into national conflagrations is part of that.
