From a New York Times editorial earlier this week:

Mr. Trump says he isn’t signaling the alt-right when he says of immigrants, as he did again on Wednesday: “We have no idea who these people are, where they come from. I always say Trojan Horse. Watch what’s going to happen, folks. It’s not going to be pretty.” Or when he said — in a line widely quoted on alt-right websites — “There is only one core issue in the immigration debate and it is this: the well-being of the American people.” Mr. Trump’s white supremacist followers don’t take his disavowals too seriously.

So is the Times saying that the interests of the American people include white supremacy? That only white supremacists care about the well-being of the American people? That doesn’t sound too progressive.

I’ve argued that the alt right is a pretty small movement and that its size and power are being exaggerated in this election, not least by Hillary Clinton. If the alt right includes everyone who thinks that U.S. policies, including immigration policies, should serve the interests of the American people, though, I’ll have to admit I’m wrong.
