Notes

[1] There is voluminous evidence of Donald Trump’s deployment of these frames to characterize his own campaign, presidency and administration. For instance:

In his January 2017 inaugural address, Donald Trump stated, ““From this day forward, it’s going to be only America first… “We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies and destroying our jobs.” Trump has consistently referred to his own cause as “America First.” See Sanger, David E. New York Times. January 20, 2017. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/20/us/politics/trump-resurrects-dark-definition-of-america-first-vision.html

At a 2018 event in Houston, Texas, Donald Trump declared “A globalist is a person that wants the globe to do well, frankly, not caring about our country so much…You know what I am? I’m a nationalist, O.K.? Nationalist. Use that word, use that word.” Baker, Peter. With Echoes of the ‘30s, Trump Resurrects a Hardline Version of ‘America First.’ New York Times. October 22, 2018. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/22/us/politics/trump-immigrant-caravan-migrants.html.

Donald Trump has repeatedly cast his cause as allied with Christianity. During his 2016 campaign, Trump declared, “We are going to protect Christianity…Christianity, it’s under siege. I’m a Protestant. I’m very proud of it. Presbyterian to be exact.” C-Span. “Presidential Candidate Donald Trump at Liberty University.” See C-Span. January 18, 2016. https://www.c-span.org/video/?403331-1/donald-trump-remarks- liberty-university. He has continued to make direct appeals to Christian evangelicals during his presidency. See Pulliam, Bailey, Sarah and Julie Zauzmer. Trump to the National Prayer Breakfast: ‘I will never let you down. I can say that. Never.’ The Washington Post. February 7, 2019. https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/02/06/national-prayer-breakfast-trump-is-likely-play-white-evangelicals-fears/.

At the March 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, Donald Trump continued to brand himself a conservative, stating, “it’s wonderful to be back with so many great patriots, old friends, and brave young conservatives…I was probably more of a conservative than a Republican.” See Trump, Donald. Remarks by President Trump at the 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference. The White House. March 3, 2019. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-2019-conservative-political-action-conference/.

[25] Casey, Patrick. The Groyper Leadership Summit. Restoring Order. January 5, 2020. On this podcast, Casey and Fuentes would use the expulsion from the SAS event to display their anti-Semitism, comparing their removal to the Nazi genocide against Jews. The following exchange illustrates this:

Patrick Casey: “Would you say that, being in that situation, did you feel like the Jews during, uh, World War II, I remember you making a comment along those lines on stream, perhaps tongue in cheek?”…

Nick Fuentes: “In think on stream I said, yeah… who else was being marked badges and being… forced around different places, physically removed from places?…It’s not a good look for Charlie Kirk. It resembles something that might have happened a long time ago.”

[124] Intergalactic Lebensraum. Nicholas J Fuentes: The Cookie Question. YouTube. January 11, 2019. The full from the video goes as such: “Max says if I take one hour to cook a batch of cookies, and Cookie Monster has 15 ovens, working 24 hours a day every day for 5 years, how long does it take Cookie Monster to make 6 million batches of cookies. I don’t know, that’s a good question. [Laughing] …Oh, no, no [Laughing]. It doesn’t really sound correct to me, wait a second…It certainly wouldn’t be 5 years, right. The math doesn’t seem to add up there…And in addition, you know, in this hypothetical, I imagine, that if you took aerial photographs over the kitchens, you would need to see certain smokestacks to release the smoke from baking the cookies, and the smoke stacks would project certain shadows, but I guess they’re not visible in the aerial photographs taken over the kitchens. Moreover, if you look at the soil texture, its really not deep enough for mass cookie storage underground. And so there’s a lot of things, you know, in the cookie kitchens they say that the ovens are, uh, wooden and they have windows on them, and they’re not totally secure. And the ovens that they use, they actually did sort of an ad hoc use of that particular kind of oven – even though they made a perfectly good design of ovens for a different purpose, for delousing, I mean, you know, for something else. So, none of it really adds up, I don’t know, it just kind of doesn’t really make sense, this crazy cookie analogy…So six million cookies, eh, eh, I don’t buy it.”
