Mr. Trump’s support among white supremacists has been building from the day he announced his candidacy, when he characterized Mexican immigrants as “rapists.”
Since then, Mr. Trump — or “the glorious leader,” as one white-power writer is calling him — has only grown more popular with that constituency, which cheered his proposal to ban all Muslim immigration and his since-debunked claim to have seen “thousands and thousands of Muslims” celebrating the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, in New Jersey.
Mr. Trump has amplified the messages of some white-power proponents himself: In January, he resent a Twitter message from a site called @WhiteGenocideTm. And he has done the same with statistics on black-on-white crime that were later shown to be false.
I think the white supremacists are going to be disappointed to learn that Trump said that he only wanted to put muslim immigration on hold until a proper vetting system was put in place.
They will also be disappointed to learn that Trump disavowed David Duke, and said he didn't want his support.
It doesn't seem like Trump will continue to resonate with the white supremacists, but lets not let the facts get in the way of the smear campaign.

I doubt that. They know he stands with them.
Mr. Duke took no umbrage. “I’ll laugh it off — that’s fine,” he said in an interview on Fox News Radio on Monday evening. “Donald Trump: Do whatever you need to get elected.”
Trump should remind people that the KKK is the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party and that David Duke was a Democrat while he was a Klansman (he ran for office as a Democrat). Duke left the Klan before he ran as a Republican.

The fact of the matter is that white supremacists are drawn to Donald Trump. You should ask yourself why that might be.
Robert Byrd was a Klansman. He seved in Congress as recently as 2010. The Democrats didn't seem to mind.
Byrd renounced the KKK in 1997.
I don't see any white supremacists currently coming out to publicly endorse any Democrats, do you?
