https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/22/alt-right-supporters-donald-trump-backlash-disavow-reddit-4chanPresident-elect Donald Trumps disavowal of Richard Spencer and his far-right thinktank the National Policy Institute, a day after video of Spencers supporters giving the Nazi salute at an event in Washington DC surfaced, has dismayed some of his supporters on the alt-right.
This constant virtue signaling needs to finally end, otherwise our civilization will simply collapse, a commenter wrote underneath the article of Trumps disavowal on right-wing news site Breitbart.
People in the myriad alt-right communities that have flourished online in recent years are also expressing their displeasure that Trump appears to have abandoned the most extreme of his policies at least for now such as building a wall and prosecuting Hillary Clinton.
They also objected to his visiting of the New York Times for an on-the-record meeting on Tuesday, at which Trump described the news organization as a world jewel.

His "disavowal" is bullshit. "Good" for him for actually using the word "disavow", but his "BUT" was too fucking obvious...
Ive known Steve Bannon a long time. If I thought he was a racist or alt-right or any of the things, the terms we could use, I wouldnt even think about hiring him, said Trump on Tuesday, according to journalists in attendance.
Breitbart is just a publication. They cover stories like you cover stories. They are certainly a much more conservative paper, to put it mildly, than the New York Times. But Breitbart really is a news organization that has become quite successful. Its got readers, and it does cover subjects on the right, but it covers subjects on the left also. Its a pretty big thing, said Trump, according to a tweet from Times political reporter Michael Grynbaum.

They are freaking out because he isn't as blatant as they are.
