I think what appears to be a frivolous indictment/cases against Trump is intended. The old imperialistic divide and rule tactic is certainly at hand here. (Old hat but the damn thing works when properly tuned.) Trump's real crimes implicate too many of the ruling class and need to be omitted from any criminal case.

The notion of white supremacy always amazes me. Sure Trump is but one of a number of faces, but in certain respects his is not the most nefarious. It is the deception of "equity" by the ruling class which is perhaps an extreme form of white supremacy.
This reminds me of some personal anecdotal experiences. I grew up in a small southeastern New England city with a sizable portion of the population black and brown people. The city had black mayors (frequently women) and streets and schools named after various luminaries of color. And yet, while these symbols persist, an underlying contention continued. As blacks who came up from the South would frequently compare the northern experience was in some ways much more nefarious because it was not "up front" but done in sly and conniving ways, always giving the impression of tolerance but lacking in sincerity.
This very northern state was notorious for engaging in the slave trade, and imposing "black code" which can be likened to "Jim Crow". Black code was common in northern states before, during and after the civil war.
Much of this was driven by the imperial "divide and rule" tactic of the overlords. I liken today's play for "equity" to be of a piece with this history. This doesn't dismiss in any way the like of Trump or many of his followers, but it does put into perspective that some of the deepest "supremacy" can be a deceptive velvet glove which people who are not the chosen symbols can see.
