White privilege is threatened by growing equality for minorities. Angry whites confuse this gradual loss of privileged status with some kind of persecution. In fact, they have no idea what it means to be persecuted or to face real discrimination. There is no other ethnicity that has to deal with less persecution and discrimination.

Trump couldn't even denounce the white nationalist ideology that made some loser drive his car into a crowd of protestors and kill one of them. He won't hesitate to talk shit about absolutely everyone except white supremacists and Russia.

For the rest of us who aren't gaslighting ourselves, it's pretty obvious what he is.
