This is proof of how truly absurd the Trump phenomenon is:

Donald Trump just retweeted a message sent to him from an actual neo-Nazi whose handle is "White Genocide" without a second thought. Really, he did:

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/690562515500032000

And my guess is that this won't make a single news source. Because it's nothing new. If anyone pays Donald Trump any sort of homage, no matter despicable that person is, he'll shout it from the mountain top.

That's who Donald Trump is. Sarah Palin, Vladimir Putin, the Ghost of Adolph Hitler.....if you heap praise on Donald Trump, he'll gladly publicize that fact, no matter who you are.

He's no genius. He's a very simple man with a very huge ego.

Still, I'm sure it will blow over by the afternoon.

Imagine if it had been any other candidate. And not just Clinton or Sanders or O'Malley, but even one of the Republican candidates. Hell, even a truly nutso one like Cruz.

But there's a Gish Gallop of outrageousness with Trump that gives him a certain level of immunity.
