So trump is officially sending the signal to white supremacists that they are off the radar...

http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN15G5VO?il=0

They want to refocus a homeland security program previously targeting all extremist violence to only focus on mulism extremism only. Even renaming the program the "Countering Islamic Extremism" program. Before this this group was tasked with fighting all ideological violent extremism.

So basically this is a further gift to the white supremacists in the US. They already have Steve Bannon in government and Trump ran on a racist campaign but this officially takes them off the home land security radar.

Perfect time to remove any and all focus from violent white supremacy, when it looks like white supremacists have infiltrated the government.

as i said after the Muslim ban, ISIS's recruitment lines have to be ringing off the hook these days.

Every day that goes by the evidence seems to mount to me.

*His inauguration speech was starkly "us vs them". There was a line in which he said that "we" would totally annihilate radical extremist Islam. He also made several references to "god" being on "our" side. All of this plays beautifully into the Jihadist mindset.

*ISIS can read the news as well as anyone else with an internet connection. They can see Trump stuffing his cabinet with white supremacists.

*Then the Muslim ban

*Now this.

He down right wants a large scale terrorist attack. It would give him further licence to clamp down on freedoms and close the iron fist. I can only imagine the terror he would try to unleash militarily.

No one seems to want to say it, but why would trump oprnly bring in Bannon if they didn't share racist sentiments?

Any other president want nothing to do with a white supremacist
