"Hail Trump? White nationalists already losing faith in President-elect"

More: http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/16/politics/white-nationalists-trump-losing-faith/index.html

The alt-right is having a falling out -- in some ways with their President-elect, but in perhaps even more instances with each other.

And it comes on the eve of an alt-right inaugural celebration called the DeploraBall -- a play off of Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" campaign remark.
Look no further than the white nationalist who coined the term alt-right, Richard Spencer. He's the same man who stood at a podium shortly after Donald Trump's election and, in a video that went viral, shouted "Hail Trump!" while several in the crowd celebrated the victory with a Nazi salute.
But listen to him now, you'll notice a marked shift in tone when speaking of the man who will become the 45th President of the United States.

Trump would denounce Hitler as weak and a loser as Trump would never have lost at Stalingrad.

I think a better satirist could write some wicked Trump "tweets" talking about Hitler as being weak and ineffective.

"I have described it as the morning-after period. We got euphoric and a little drunk on success," Spencer, director of the white nationalist think tank National Policy Institute, told CNN. "I am getting worried that he won't work on really big important issues like immigration -- that he'll get caught up on little things like making fun of people on Twitter."

Mahalo, Jaamal I hope so

For a loyal Dump soldier, he's remarkably ill-informed.
