New from GPAHE: Trump Mainstreaming White Supremacist Propaganda

Donald Trump is once again amplifying the white supremacist “white genocide” and “Great Replacement” conspiracy theories—this time by falsely claiming that white South African farmers are being targeted for extermination. These dangerous narratives, rooted in neo-Nazi ideology, have inspired mass shootings around the world. By repeating them, Trump is not just spreading disinformation—he’s helping normalize the rhetoric of violent extremists.

New from GPAHE: Ethnic Cleansing Conference in Europe Draws American Speakers, Advocates for a White Europe

The recent “Remigration Summit” in Italy brought together 300–400 far-right activists from across Europe and the U.S. to promote a chilling agenda: the forced deportation of non-white migrants en masse, rooted in the white supremacist “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory. Featuring speakers linked to white supremacist groups and far-right parties—including American racists and Trump allies—the summit underscores the dangerous rise of ethnic cleansing rhetoric now entering mainstream politics on both sides of the Atlantic. This transnational movement, backed by parties like Germany’s AfD and Italy’s Lega, seeks to reshape the world through exclusion and xenophobia.

Project 2025 supporters, including Heritage Foundation Fellow Elizabeth Stauffer and Intercollegiate Studies Institute board members, are increasingly promoting the white nationalist Great Replacement conspiracy theory—a false claim that non-white immigrants are being brought in to “replace” white populations. Once confined to extremist circles, this dangerous ideology is now influencing key policy changes and mainstream conservative platforms.
