Examining White Nationalism in the US Society during Donald Trump Presidency

Abstract

White nationalism has been a longstanding act of systematic and unwanted racism targeting colored communities by white people both in the USA and other countries under the pretext of nationalism. The present dissertation serves as an in-depth overview of the interrelation between white nationalism and Donald Trump presidency. It aims to spotlight the ongoing, development and implementation of white nationalism in the society. Also, the study seeks to explain how his political agenda motivated and fueled white nationalists’ eager towards expanding their ideologies threatening the existence of multiculturalism in the country. As an evidence for white nationalists’ activism, the current research presents three testimonies: Trump’s racist rhetoric, the Alt-right movement, and events in Charlottesville, Virginia, 2017.
