Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump late Wednesday thanked and retweeted a message of support from a man who identified himself as a Dutch white supremacist.
Twitter user @keksec_org tweeted at the real estate mogul to tell him “I truly believe you are the best to #MakeAmericaGreatAgain.”
Trump shared the message with his own followers and thanked the Twitter user, whose bio read “#KekSec/Stop #WhiteGenocide/White Preservist/Programmer/Dutch Patriot/Race War when?”

And view @keksec_org’s Twitter profile. The reference to a “race war” was removed after this post was published:
It wasn’t the first time Trump retweeted the user, either:
It’s unclear exactly who is behind @keksec_org, whose tweets lie in an ambiguous grey area between trolling and flat-out racism.
A personal website listed in the user’s bio leads to a page promising “the dankest memes online.” After securing the first Trump retweet, the user tweeted again at the billionaire: “I wish you were my dad, so we can #MakeAmericaGreatAgain.”
But @keksec_org retweets missives from Geert Wilders, an anti-Muslim Dutch politician, as often as tweets about Trump. The user also frequently laments white genocide and defends slavery and colonialism on Twitter. @keksec_org dismisses black critics by calling them “melanin enhanced” or referring to the “feeble mind of the African American negro.”

Drumpf and Geert Wilders are buddies now?
He may not have been knocked off the front page with his newest bullshit, but he ain’t the story today. Sorry Donnie, you wasted a good White Supremacist to chat with to get headlines, all for nuthin’. Let’s hope no one wastes another news cycle on your flaming crap.
Won’t hurt him with the GOP Primary electorate. Trump will be the nominee.
Trump would retweet Dylan Roof if it was complimentary to him. #no standards, #no decency
Trolling troll trolls the troll.
Who the f*ck cares about Donald Trump anymore.
