>Remember when people said "it's only extremists like Alex Jones" and "white nationalists", yeah well now Twitter has banned the president of the United States. The president of the United States is in fact an extremist like Alex Jones and a white nationalist.

Again, I want to be clear here that my defence of Trump isn't because I support him, I don't. That said, I don't know how he can be an extremist given he received such huge support from the American public twice. He's called both a populist and an extremist, which seems - at least to me - to be an oxymoron. I guess I also don't know why I should think he's a white nationalist? Could you expand on why you think that?

> The president of the United States is in fact an extremist like Alex Jones and a white nationalist. This sounds like a comment from Reddit. From an outsider perceptive (European) he seems neither an extremist nor a white nationalist. He is a nationalist for sure, but I have never heard Trump talk about people grouping them by skin colour, unlike Obama. I have only heard Trump talk about "Americans" and he divides that into the left or right.
