Over-sensitive neo-Nazis have said they will throw a massive tantrum if Donald Trump doesn’t stick to white supremacy, as they’d hoped.

Alt-right ‘activists’, who recently went around shouting ‘hail Trump’ while giving Nazi salutes at a gathering in Washington, told The Guardian that they would collectively throw their toys out of the pram if Trump turned out to be less of a racist than they’d thought.

‘In January Trump will start governing and will have to make compromises,’ David Cole, a self-proclaimed Holocaust revisionist, said.

‘Even small ones will trigger squabbles between the alt-right. “Trump betrayed us.” “No, you’re betraying us for saying Trump betrayed us.” And so on.




‘The alt-right’s appearance of influence will diminish more and more as they start to fight amongst themselves.’

Similarly Jared Taylor, a white supremacist who runs a, erm, ‘race-realist’ (read: racist) magazine called American Renaissance, added that Trump had already rowed back on several of his pledges that had appealed to the far-right.

‘At first he promised to send back every illegal immigrant,’ Taylor said. ‘Now he is waffling on that.’

This comes just a month after Trump attempted to distance himself from the alt-right – a subculture he tapped into in a major way during his campaign – and abandoned some of his more extreme policies, such as building a wall between the US and Mexico.

Despite what he says now, during his campaign Trump electrified the alt-right by pledging to deport 11 million people, calling Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals, and pledging to ban Muslims from entering the US. When former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke openly endorsed him, he was conspicuously slow to disavow it.

But asked about his impact on white supremacists in the US just a few weeks after electoral victory, Trump told the New York Times: ‘I don’t want to energise the group, and I disavow the group… It’s not a group I want to energise, and if they are energised I want to look into it and find out why.’

Taylor, disappointed, told the Guardian: ‘Donald Trump was never a racial dissident of the sort that I am. He was never one of us.’
