I’m currently writing a book about the attempted Nazi demonstration in Skokie in 1977. This is indistinguishable from how American Nazis talked in public.
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

⚠️ Jared Kushner’s role in the corruption of the Trump administration and how deeply it is compromised by foreign interests deserves far more scrutiny than it has received.

Sure, it's never corrupt or a national security issue to have rich family members of the president brought in to the government. How did Kushner get a security clearance? And didn't trump pardon Kushner's father?

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think we should be taking scientific advice from a demented pedophile who tried to redraw a hurricane chart with a sharpie.
Q: What do you tell Americans who are concerned that repealing the endangerment finding comes at a host to public health and the environment based on science?
TRUMP: I tell them don't worry about it. This was all a scam. They'll have more money to spend for healthcare.
