Mr. Trump deleted the tweet more than three hours after posting it.<\/p>\n<p>In response to a protester shouting \u201cWhere\u2019s your white hood?\u201d and other taunts, the man in the golf cart pumps his fist in the air and says \u201cWhite power!\u201d twice.

The Republicans adopted them as the Republican base. Prior to Trump* they hid their hoods and robes and dog-whistled their way into power. Today&#8217;s Republican Reich wears hatred, racism and white supremacy as badges of pride.
