Trump Campaign Accepts Dozens of Donations from Neo-Nazi Leader
The Trump 2020 campaign accepted multiple donations from neo-Nazi leader Morris Gulett, according to records reported on by Judd Legum of Popular Info. The campaign has received over 29 donations with a total of over $2,000 from Gulett, dating back to December of 2017. The campaign is well-aware that Guleyt is a donor; In 2018, The Forward reported on the matter and reached out to the campaign for comment. The campaign refused to respond.
Morris Gulett was a senior pastor at the Church of Jesus Christ Christian, an alternate name for the Aryan Nations. Gullet claimed his group was the “most feared and revered white supremacist organization the world has ever known,” has said that he would celebrate Black History Month “when every Negro becomes just that — history,” and is known to close all of his sermons with a Nazi salute.
The now-offline website of Gulett’s Church of Jesus Christ Christian referred to “White, Anglo-Saxon, Germanic“ people as the “supreme ruling race,” and stated "the Jew is the literal child of Satan and is the natural enemy of the White race, the Children of God." In 2016, Gulett claimed to retire from the Aryan Nations, repackaging the Church of Jesus Christ Christian as the Church of the Sons of Yahweh. An archived cache of his new website shows content nearly identical to that of his former site, including the same assertion that white Anglo-Saxons are the “supreme ruling race.”
This same year, Gulett was caught selling Nazi memorabilia on Etsy, using the same handle he previously used to post on Stormfront, a neo-Nazi message board:

Also in 2016, Gulett said of Donald Trump: “The ideas that Donald Trump articulates about America now and where America is going as opposed to where it should be going in my opinion is admirable from a Patriotic Nationalists point of view.” He added, “without a doubt the Communist Party lead by Hillary Clinton and the Jew Bernie Sanders must be stopped.”
The Trump campaign has not disavowed or returned any of the contributions; on the contrary, the campaign has been caught multiple times employing Nazi symbols and rhetoric in campaign materials.
