President Trump "in no way, shape or form, believes that neo-Nazi and other hate groups who endorse violence are equivalent to groups that demonstrate in peaceful and lawful ways." Note the word "equivalent." It was chosen for a reason, because Trump believes his Nazi supporters are superior to other groups. The Nazis get it; they recognize a kindred spirit, and are drawn with great fervor to Trump's administration. Trump's Department of Justice is ending decades of civil rights work to stand with the Nazis.
