Sorry to double-respond to your post, but this was another point of yours that bears responding to. White nationalism is characterized, among other things, by anti-semitism. But I don't know that that charge really sticks to Trump. After all, his daughter converted to Judaism and his son-in-law has had a prominent role in his administration.
Further, Trump just did the most pro-Israel thing none of his predecessors dared, not even Jimmy Carter, which was to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Personally, I think it was a horrible move but Jews love it because Israel ueber alles.
Lastly, Trump is ripping up the agreement with Iran to curb their nuclear development, which always was the cherished and central priority of Israeli national defense (that is, Israel opposed the Iran deal because they believed Iran would cheat).
So, it's a weird thing to accuse a guy of being a white nationalist who has given Jews 1000% of their policy priorities.
Washington DC delenda est.

I believe that Avigdor Lieberman can be described as some kind of a "white nationalist", but I'd never call him an anti-semite, either.
So your statement depends on the premise "white nationalists are anti-semites", which I think is not always true, therefore "Trump is not a white nationalist because Trump is not an anti-semite" doesn't follow from it.
Even if he IS not an anti-semite (I agree, if your daughter becomes a jew and you keep good relations then you're not an anti-semite).
