A white supremacist in North Dakota vows to rebuild a church that was burned down — and plans to name it after President Trump.

The 108-year-old building in Nome was destroyed earlier this month, and Craig Cobb believes it was no accident.

Cobb, currently on probation for terrorizing residents of a different city, told the Daily News on Tuesday that he still hopes to eventually open his church, and he has a special name in mind.

"The President Donald J. Trump Creativity Church of Rome," Cobb tells the News.

"That's the name, because it's beautiful. President Trump is like a ? emperor, can do no wrong."

The Creativity movement, founded in 1973, has been flagged by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group.

Cobb, 65, admits the church won't be as "opulent" as it once was — unless Trump is kind enough to give him a donation. The now destroyed historic church had not been in use for several years when Cobb purchased the property in January.

Authorities are investigating the fire, but Cobb does not have much hope they will find any suspects.

"The problem now is to try to get the FBI in here," he says. "When black churches are burned, they rush right in." image

Cobb, who believes ? was a "great" man, emphasizes that white supremacy is a "religion of peace."

"When people use the words white supremacy, they think its a generic term," he said.

Cobb landed in jail after attempting to transform the city of Leith into "an ? stronghold," according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. He is described by the SPLC as a neo-? .

    Trump has emboldened these type of guys.

    I saw a documentary on this guy and that town in North Dakota some time ago. They were trying to turn some little one horse town into some ? only city and the town's residence who were mostly White people themselves were lashing back against them.

    Trump might be their hero because of his views about immigration, police misconduct against Blacks, dismantling of everything the former President did, etc, but they are sorely mistaking if they think Trump gives a damn about their White trash ? .

    He wasn't from there if I'm not mistaken there he just bought land and staked his claim there. He and his following had bought up quite a few acres in this small town.

    Most of them can fly under the radar much easier in more sparsely populated rural areas.

    They're ? and most other Whites although they themselves may be bigots look down on these type of guys. Most White folks are much more subtle in their bigotry.
