Virtually no one thinks Trump has discouraged white supremacists

Yes, it's true President Donald Trump has now explicitly condemned white supremacy groups -- but virtually no one in the United States thinks his comments and behavior have actually discouraged any white supremacist groups.

A mere 3% of American voters in a new Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday say Trump's actions as president have discouraged white supremacists.

"I said everything. I hit him with neo-Nazi. I hit them with everything. I got the white supremacists, the neo-Nazi. I got them all in there, let's say. KKK, we have KKK. I got them all," Trump said at a Phoenix rally Tuesday night, a reference to how he said he effectively called out hate groups by name.

Just more than a third of American voters (35%) say Trump hasn't had an impact on white supremacist groups, and six in 10 voters (59%) say he's encouraged them. A majority of that group says he's encouraged them deliberately rather than accidentally.

1. It is like he is saying he really thinks they are not good

but he has his fingers crossed behind his back. Yeah, it is something children do but then again he is a child and a horrible one at that.

[Judi Lynn]

3. Exactly. He likes them, wants their support, agrees with them. n/t

[Solly Mack]

2. Trump meant to encourage them.

[NanceGreggs]

4. Yes, he did.

He encouraged the people who hate his Jewish daughter and Jewish grandchildren, people who have shown their propensity for violence.

Ivanka is allegedly his favourite child, the one he is closest to, the one he relies on - and he is willing to throw her under the bus.

[Solly Mack]

6. Literally, willing to throw her under a bus.

Because sooner or later, it won't be a car. It will be something bigger.

5. Meh. He's been encouraging them from the beginning. He does this double-speak thing

but it's code for "I still love you, but the media is making me say this."

[Bradical79]

15. Yeah

He was retweeting white supremicist accounts during the campaign for fucks sake, and there was the David Duke stuff. Should have been a massive story, but so many in the media had their heads up their own asses focusing on the horse race aspect for ratings.

[BigmanPigman]

7. Duh!

[raven mad]

8. No one with a working brain SHOULD believe he did more to encourage than not.

sTrumpet: (whining) I did all I could............. nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

9. Well, then there's that whitepower WP gesture he gives everytime hes in front of a crowd...

..signalling his support..so sure they're embolden, and armed (apparently they have permits to carry and why would anyone question white people carrying guns. )

White-racist hate, guns, support from yourwhitepresident, what could possibly go wrong?

[jcmaine72]

10. Why would he discourage them?

He knows what side of the table his wiener gets mustard on.

11. Just saw photos of newly decorated Oval Office.

Andrew Jackson portrait prominently displayed, for inspiration no doubt.

12. It's all about the tone of voice

Here's a little video, Mr. President:

14. His Dad was in the KKK & real estate sellers set the tone for Race discrimination/segregation in USA

Mr. Trump has a history and record of issues with his property leasing to persons who were not- white.

Like Father- like Son. I hope Mr Trumps children didn't witness any of his 'deplorable' behavior towards other people. Even his behavior & comments these past couple years are harmful to youngsters. That behavior effects children.
