On the 81st anniversary of “Kristallnacht,” the evening of November 9, 1938, when Nazi stormtroopers vandalized and set fire to Jewish-owned synagogues, businesses, and homes in Germany, Donald Trump chose to extend a hat-tip to “nationalism.” Proclaiming nationalism “was back into the mainstream,” Trump gave a plug to a new book by right-wing Washington, DC pundit Rich Lowry, titled “The Case for Nationalism: How It Made Us Powerful, United, and Free.” Trump called it a “very important book.” Mr. Trump, who is not known for reading any books, save for a copy of Adolf Hitler’s speeches he once kept on his bed stand, was promoting the same type of race-based neo-Nazi and white supremacist nationalism that reared its ugly head in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017.
