President Trump said Friday he does not believe white nationalism is a rising global danger after a suspected gunman who authorities say espoused that ideology killed 49 Muslims in New Zealand.

That theory sure might explain why he didn’t label the attack as anti-Muslim and condemn Islamophobia specifically. In fact, despite authorities’ possession of a 74-page manifesto from the alleged shooter outlining his white-nationalist views, Trump seemed to suggest there was some doubt as to his motives. “I guess if you look at what happened in New Zealand, perhaps that’s the case,” he told reporters. “I don’t know enough about it yet.
