Why Trump needs white nationalist violence now?
Trump is stepping up his game of encouraging his base of violent white nationalists. With Mueller closing in on him, and his attempts at ending the investigations having proved fruitless, he doesn't need to just distract the public. He needs to violence in the streets by fascists as an excuse to round up protesters. By creating violence in the streets and then claiming only he can stop it, he hopes to make the public accept his ending of the investigations.
