In response, many reporters, journalists, people who work in the media, and Americans in general have taken to Twitter, calling President Trump a white supremacist.

ESPN “SportsCenter” host Jemele Hill on Twitter Monday night called Trump “a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists.” She added: “Trump is the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime. His rise is a direct result of white supremacy. Period.”
