To get slightly off-topic, this is why Trump isn't really a white-supremacist. He's a Donald Trump-supremacist, and he plays the part of an America-supremacist

To get slightly off-topic, this is why Trump isn't really a white-supremacist. He's a Donald Trump-supremacist, and he plays the part of an America-supremacist because it makes lots of people clap for him and give him more power. And it just so happens that actual white-supremacists get inspired by that kind of rhetoric, and he doesn't care enough about anyone other than himself to bother disavowing them, because they're just more people clapping for him.
The banality of evil, etc.
