> a white nationalist conspiracy nut (aka: trump)

Sure, Trump seems prone to accepting conspiracy theories (or at least acts like it) - but why "white nationalist"? Seems like people like to sprinkle in these accusations when they thing their audience won't question it - but the evidence is a weak string of unsubstantiated guilt-by-associations.

What about "America First", which supported Weimar Republic in 30's, isn't nationalistic?

The idea was good (hit mark audience that needed respite from all the "great globalization"), but the execution was about treason ("Trump First").

And the "white" part?

[_y5hn]

Not speaking for others, but having fringe groups as security during official business, doesn't speak well of what other uses there might be for such groups.

[Chris2048]

That's fairly speculative for an explicit declaration that Trump is a white nationalist, and very much guilt-by-association.

Also, I don't really consider a "white nationalist" to be a "nationalist" by the usual sense of the word (applying to nation), but rather a rarer, more abstract sense of the word (applying abstractly to "groups" such as race). White nationalism isn't necessarily compatible with race-defined nationalism e.g. if you would prioritise foreign whites over domestic non-whites.

It must be speculative, that's the entire purpose of associating with such groups and using them as political ammunition. Doesn't stop these people from throwing them under the bus later, if the bet doesn't pan out.
