White nationalist Craig Cobb is still trying to establish an all-white enclave in North Dakota which he hopes to rename in honor of Donald Trump.
The 63-year-old Cobb bought $10,000 in property last month from a man in Antler, near the Canadian border, in hopes of setting up a church for his racist Creativity Movement and homes for like-minded white supremacists, reported WDAY-TV.
He planned to rename the town to Trump Creativity or Creativity Trump to honor the Republican presidential frontrunner who Cobb deeply admires.

(14,061 posts)Hitler in the '30s blamed Jews for dragging down the country and causing problems. Sound familiar?
Hitler in the '30s was angry at the harsh reparations caused by the Treaty of Versailles that hurt the German economy. Sound familiar?
Hitler in the '30s was afraid that Germany's place in the world was threatened -- it no longer had power. Sound familiar?
No one is saying Trump is exactly like Hitler. But that does not mean that someone else with these xenophohic, nationalistic tendencies couldn't rise up again. It can happen, which I why I think I haven't been more afraid for this country than I am right now. What he's saying, how he's delivering the message -- people aren't seeing it. People aren't getting how dangerous what he is saying is.
Trump's rhetoric is like red, raw meat to a lot of angry people -- just like many Germans in the '30s.
And before I get jumped on for this, let me say that I fervently hope I AM WRONG.
