Trump claims 'there was nobody here' in America 25 years ago so 'they probably had cleaner water'

The holiday news cycle did little to dull the attacks coming after Donald Trump for welcoming neo-Nazi and white supremacists to Mar-a-Lago.

Last week rapper Kanye West and Nick Fuentes met with Trump leading to swift condemnation from Democrats, Jewish leaders, and even a few Republicans who aren't up for reelection for a while like outgoing Gov. Asa Hutchinson and Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) who isn't up for reelection until 2026.

Donald Trump is going all-in on attacks against the family of special counsel Jack Smith. Instead of mounting a defense for his actions, Trump deployed one of his top tactics: attacking anyone trying to hold him accountable.

One of Trump's right-wing allies posted a claim that Smith's sister-in-law, who is allegedly a psychologist and whose patients were "crying" and "sobbing" over Trump's 2016 election.

Donald Trump's claim that he didn't know who the white nationalist Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes was when he sat down to dinner with him at Mar-a-Lago just before Thanksgiving is not particularly credible, according to The Washington Post's Greg Sargent, who goes on to say that even if it's true that Trump didn't know who Fuentes was, he "handed white supremacists and white-power activists a major propaganda coup."

Speaking to Sargent, Kathleen Belew, who tracks white supremacist factions, said that these movements are best described as "white power" rather than "white supremacist."
