While President Trump answered a query about whether he thinks white nationalism is a growing global threat, in a press conference following the Islamophobic terrorist attacks that targeted two New Zealand mosques and killed 50 people on March 15, he was dismissive: "I don't, really,” Trump said. “I think it's a small group of people that have very, very serious problems.”

This statement puts him at odds with the beliefs of people studying the matter.
