Because he not only supports the cornerstone policies of white supremacy and nationalism, he prioritizes them. They're literally why he won the nomination.
I love watching conservatives squirm, project and throw faux outrage over "the race card" when this stuff gets brought up. What exactly do people think white supremacy and nationalism consist of besides screaming racial epithets? If it were only that, then it wouldn't be a political philosophy and ideology. It's literally built on policies related to creating massive police state presence and social/economic restrictions anywhere a foreigner or minority may be found: huge borders/walls, immigration quotas, "English-only" mandates, calls for "law and order", protectionism, and so forth.
White supremacists support Trump because Trump is a white supremacist for all intents and purposes. He embraces their core policies to a T and emphasizes them above all else. These are literally the policies of white nationalism and for anybody trying to claim that they're "conservative principles" that were hijacked by white supremacists instead, know that all of them exist(ed) outside both conservatism and the Republican Party for a long time and most predate both the GOP and conservatism.
White nationalists didn't adopt conservative or Republican principles; conservatives and Republicans adopted white nationalist principles.
