The Kansas City Public Libraryhad been vandalized in the wake of the Donald Trump victory in the 2016 Presidntial race. Almost all of the racist, white supremicist, and Nazi organizations and their members were Trump supporters although Mr. Trump denied that he had ever overtly solicited their support, However hia frequent racist and misoginistic remarks attracted frings groups and people who had never before endorsed an American major party Presidential candidate. After Trups victory there was a large increase in the nunber of racist, religious and ethnic attacks against people and property, despite the fact that Trump had appeared on 60 Minutes and told these extremsits in no uncertain terms to "Stop".

Many people have believed that the Nazis introduced anti-Semitism into German society and politics. This quotation is one of the very many what show that anti-Semitism was rife in Germany before Hitler ever came to power—back to the Dark Ages.

President Trump did not personally believe in the tenets of White Supremacism, but a significant part of his political base did. His public approval in his first year in office was the lowest in history since such were measured, and he was desparate to hold on the the support of his base. So, unlike most Republicans who castigated and condemned White Supremacism and other hate groups, and the alt-Right, Trump not only remained silent, but actually tried to create a moral equivelence between some of the White Supremacists and some of the Left Wingers who were protesting the White Supremicists. Trump insisted that he did not condone or encourage hate groups or white supramacy advocates, but most of the public did, and, most importantly, they thougth that he did and gave him public credit for that as in this quotation.
