Was what Hill said untrue, as Trump’s tweet suggests, or is Trump in fact a white supremacist who has surrounded himself with white supremacists and whose party courted white supremacists? First, there is no question that Trump has hired someone who was at least a booster of white supremacists: Steve Bannon. But then the question remains: Is Trump himself a white supremacist? Trump never seems to be worried about offending anyone except Vladimir Putin and white supremacists. Either Trump is himself a white supremacist or he is a fan and defender of white supremacists, and I quite honestly am unable to separate the two designations.
