White nationalists' enthusiasm for Trump cools

“Right after the election, I think it was euphoria,” says Kevin MacDonald, a retired evolutionary psychology professor at California State, Long Beach and another white nationalist mainstay. “But as we get into it now, there’s more trepidation.”

MacDonald says Trump’s appointments also have rattled the movement, especially his propensity for tapping rich Wall Street bankers.

“These are globalists in general. They love free trade, they love immigration — big red flags for us,” he says.

And MacDonald says he is concerned about the reliance on generals and hawkish policy leading America into another Middle East war.

“Lot of trepidation, but the big silver lining is Jeff Sessions,” he says.
