White Supremacists Cheer Trump's Response to Charlottesville Violence

But one group of people were thrilled with Trump’s comments: the white supremicists themselves.

The popular white supremacist site Daily Stormer called Trump’s remarks “really good,” noting that he “didn’t attack us.” They were also pleased he ignored a question about white supremacists after making his statement.

Trump comments were good. He didn’t attack us. He just said the nation should come together. Nothing specific against us.

He said that we need to study why people are so angry, and implied that there was hate… on both sides!

So he implied the antifa are haters.

There was virtually no counter-signaling of us at all.

He said he loves us all.

Also refused to answer a question about White Nationalists supporting him.

No condemnation at all.

When asked to condemn, he just walked out of the room.

Really, really good.


God bless him.

Can we please impeach him already? This isn't just tone deafness or incompetence: he's intentionally trying to ruin America.

The majority of Trump supporters ARE racists. He knows this and knows he can't get support without openly appealing to them.
