White Nationalist Media Cheers Trump’s “Almost Perfect” Immigration Speech

Donald Trump’s August 31 immigration speech was an angry, hateful rant that sought to fearmonger over the purported dangers immigrants pose to the United States. Trump’s white nationalist media supporters loved it.

Trump’s disturbing courtship with and widespread support from white nationalists is unprecedented for a major party nominee in recent history. Stephen Bannon, the chief executive of the “alt-right” publication Breitbart News, recently became chief executive of Trump's campaign.

During and after Trump’s speech, white nationalists weighed in with glowing testimonials.
