BTW, why would white supremacists support Trump?
The immigration issue. It is divisive enough, and it is often enough discussed in language that causes people on either side
of the issue to wonder whether and how many of those who oppose illegal immigration do so because it is illegal or because it is immigration
at
all. And it is the sort of issue and divide that bigots of any stripe---white supremacist or otherwise---exploit, and rather adroitly.
To the point where anyone as colourfully vocal on the issue as Donald Trump might been seen by those fever swampers as an accommodating
candidate whether or not he has actually said that he opposes all immigration or that he is himself a white supremacist.
Trump is a much flawed candidate. White supremacism is
not one of his faults, clearly enough. Rhetorical extravagance aside, even his most
venomous opponents concur. That doesn't necessarily stop such fever swampers from pouncing on one or another of his positions as evidence
that he is their candidate even if he, too, might say to any white supremacist, or other active bigot, "Buster, I don't want your vote."
The bad news is that the fever swampers are always among us and never reluctant to make their mischief. The further bad news is that, for better
or worse, they place men and women who would not be caught dead in their swamps otherwise to speak one or another way to be rid of them, if
only because those with the influence to do so make those men and women publicly and personally culpable for things they actually had nothing
to do with. Mr. Trump rejects their support but that won't stop them from supporting him anyway. But he can deflect any attempt to pin him
as something he is not, which pinning would stand on the shaky ground that one or another kind of fever swamper thinks he's their man.
