Trump doesn't think white nationalism is a threat -- but data says otherwise

Nearly 50 people were allegedly killed by a man in New Zealand who was inspired by white nationalist ideas. The US is no better off.

After a gunman inspired by the white nationalist ideas that fuel violence and attempted violence in the United States and elsewhere allegedly killed 49 people at mosques in New Zealand Friday, Donald Trump was asked whether he thought white nationalism is a global rising threat.

The United States president responded: “I don’t really.”

But as evidenced by reports from civil liberties groups and American justice officials’ own data, domestic terrorism, specifically white supremacy, is on the rise in the United States.
