Except that the extremist faction is tiny, politically irrelevant, and not nearly that happy with his proposed appointments and legislation. For example, the New York Times Editorial Board is currently attacking Trump for failing to denounce a 200-strong white nationalist meeting that's been happening annually in Washington since 2011 and has achieved nothing in that time, organised by a man whose hope for the Trump presidency - as per the NYT's reporting - is that maybe he'll abandon all his actual policies and adopt ones that actually make white nationalists happy. Their only victory so far seems to be getting the NYT to give them a whole bunch of free publicity by quoting them in great detail yesterday.
