American neo-Nazis support Donald Trump (big surprise).

An article in today's LA Times mentions that "the Daily Stormer, a website that has called for anti-immigrant violence, endorsed Trump for president."
http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/la-na-immigration-politics-20150826-story.html

When I read that, I was reminded of the German tabloid Der Stürmer, which was first published in 1923 and which endorsed Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party.

And, sure enough, it turns out that the Daily Stormer is a neo-Nazi rag:

I wonder if Trump welcomes this support.

All the ultra-right-wing (like right of Free Republic) sites are going gaga over The Donald. No shocker there.

He certainly is bombastic enough.

And his views fit as well.

Bleah.
