Tarrant praised Trump as “a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose” while also complementing Anders Breivik, the Norwegian white supremacist who murdered 77 people in Norway in 2011.
Trump’s support base in the United States mostly includes far-right sectors of society who have anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiments, ideas that he has voiced throughout his presidential campaign and later during his presidency. David Duke, one of the well-known leaders white supremacist Ku Klux Klan, commonly called the KKK, continues to be one of Trump’s main supporters.
While the White House has not yet commented on the attacker’s praise for Trump, the U.s. president condemned the “horrible massacre” and said that his country “stands by New Zealand for anything we can do,” he wrote in a post on Twitter.
In his manifesto, he also claims to have had contact with Breivik and had received “blessing” to carry out his mass shooting against the Muslim community in New Zealand.
The attacker now is in police custody and has been charged with multiple accounts of first-degree murder. He will appear in court Saturday. Three other people have been also arrested in connection with the shootings.
It has also been confirmed that Tarrant shared a live stream on Facebook Live of his attack using a camera mounted on his head showing him holding a gun and shooting people at the mosques at close range.
The attack was carried out around the time of the weekly Muslim Friday prayer that attracts hundreds of worshipers to different mosques to attend a sermon and a prayer lasting about 45 minutes around midday.

In the video where she is heard with a broken voice at times, the current senator for the Unidad Ciudadana party described how, due to all her daughter has suffered in recent times, even accused of being part of an illegal association, she has damaged her physical state.
In the four-minute message, Fernandez also complains that once again ‘not only the rights of citizens who are opposed to the government of Mauricio Macri are violated in the courts of Comodoro Py, but also all rights of our sons and daughters are violated.’
