Is there actual proof that he plotted to assassinate Trump? We know Trump has taken over the FBI and installed loyalists. Are we just going to take their word every time they say they've stopped some grand conspiracy like this?

He did it wrong. Neither of his parents were Trump.
He was just using process of elimination to eventually figure out who Trump is and is not.
Ah, the scientific method.
Well he narrowed it down.
The kid's views are extremist, for sure, but the part about the assassination, not so much. A majority of Americans would support a guillotine for Trump. Kid's a centrist when it comes to his idea of what should be done with Trump. Finally, a topic that can bring the far-right and progressives together.
Well that went in a totally different direction than I thought it would. He thinks they're not white supremacist enough?
There's always people like that. Elon Musk's grandfather thought Hitler was a Jewish plant because he wasn't anti-semitic enough.
he wanted their money. i'm still trying to understand why he, as a nazi, wanted to murder trump though. i feel like part of this story isn't being reported here.
While they're all pretty much the same in all the ways that matter to everyone who isn't a racist asshole, if you care to dig into it there's a lot of different white supremacists ideologies that really aren't compatible with each other. Historically a lot of different movements there spent a lot of time arguing and fighting with, and hating each other, which is why the "unite the right" thing was kind of a big deal.
KKK doesn't like Catholics, that's a sizeable portion of white people they have a problem with
There's some that think Christianity in general is a Jewish conspiracy, which is part of why you get some of them being all about Norse paganism and such.
Do they want to take over the US and remake it how they want, or do they want to split off from the US and start their own country?
Are they in favor of some sort of democracy, monarchy, theocracy, dictatorship, even occasionally some form of anarchy, etc?
You can go really deep down the rabbit hole trying to unpack all of their competing ideas. They're all crazy and extreme, but they're crazy and extreme in different ways.
It's not at all surprising to me that some of them don't like trump, maybe they just outright don't like him, maybe they think he's a useful idiot who has outlived his usefulness, maybe they think he isn't going far enough, maybe they're just insane.
Just like how there is Leftist in fighting, except a lot stupider and more dangerous. I keep making reference to the Night of Long Knives here
“Oh looky here, someone trying to bring the left into this 😡”
I guess I didn't really understand the diversity of this shit. It's probably good to have a more nuanced view, so cheers
In the St Louis area, about 20 years ago, there was a friendly understanding between the rural white supremacist gangs (peckerheads, SS, etc) and the Black urban (mostly Crip affiliated) gangs. The white gangs had been taken over by a group of white separatists who advocated peaceful coexistence but absolutely no intermingling with the inferior races. Meanwhile, the Black gangs were perfectly amenable to that and kept their activities in the urban area. When the opioid epidemic hit, they divided up territory, kept to their own lanes, and occasionally cooperated against cops.
I live somewhat close to an area where the klan still has some presence. A friend of mine worked at a convenience store in that area for a while.
He's practically a living caricature of blond-haired, blue eyed whiteness (and also one of the genuinely least racist people I know, he's currently engaged to a black girl)
So looking the way he does, the local grand wizard or whatever ridiculous title he had took a liking to him and would hang around and try to talk to him.
Since he was on the clock, he couldn't exactly just tell this guy to pound sand, and he actually managed to have some interesting conversations with him while he was there.
Overall, the impression he got of this klansman was that if black people and white people could just kind of each have their own countries, he'd be totally ok with that and would wish black people the best with their endeavors.
Not that that's a good way of thinking at all, but coming from a card-carrying racist asshole, that almost feels like progressive thought.
Also I remember an quick throwaway scene in Orange is the New Black, where a couple of the racist white characters were having some kind of discussion among themselves along the lines of "I'm a white nationalist, not a Nazi" or something along those lines.

There's also accelerationists who can justify whatever if they convince themselves it will be a catalyst. I don't think its hard to imagine dumbass white supremacist believing that Trump getting assassinated would finally start their race war.
Yea, there were klansmen voting for Obama because they legitimately thought it'd make the whole country kick out black people. People hold really weird beliefs.

Because he is so far right Trump is to the left of him
the kid that missed the ear was an angry right winger that was mad he was too far right last i recalled. so they're coming from both sides now, if this is being reported honestly now.

The sheriff’s department issued a search warrant and say they found material on the teen’s phone related to “The Order of Nine Angles,” which is “a network of individuals holding new-Nazi racially motivated extremist views,” according to investigators.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation reviewed documents allegedly written by the teen, which calls for the assassination of Trump and the start of a revolution to “save the white race,” according to federal court documents.
That's an interesting way the describe The Order of Nine Angles. I'd have gone with "decentralized Satanist neo-Nazi terrorist organization."
The Nazis hate Satan, please leave Satanists out of this.
same problem as furries. Amazing how incredibly ironic it can get, nazis in liberal or leftish groups.

Racists pop up anywhere, and don't deserve to represent those cross culture groups.
He judged, I think accurately, that they weren't willing to relinquish the funds needed to * checks notes * assassinate the elected leader of a global superpower? Holy shit, and he's so much of a Nazi that he sees Trump as a reasonable candidate for left-leaning targets? Who the fuck did this kid think he was, fucking Giga Hitler?

So he is 17, his mom was 35, and his dad was 51? Thats some uncomfortable math.
Then he tries to become an uber nazi thanks to social media.
Just awful all around.
It may be a power imbalance. There's a link between domestic abuse and extremism so I wouldn't be surprised if he was raised in an abusive home
That was my first concern.
Someone else pointed out they mention stepfathrr elsewhere (I kept seeing just "parents"), so it may not be the case - or at least not as obviously the case as it would be if the father was the biodad as well.
“The teen's stepfather, Donald Mayer, 51…”
Horrible, but at least not that part.
Thanks, I kept seeing "his parents" but missed the "stepfather". That makes that part not awful at least.
As nutty as trump's supporters are. It's truly terrifying that there are still plenty out there that feel he hasn't gone far enough.
i'm trying to understand in what world a nazi would be angry with trumps actions.
From what I understand, much of American nazi ideology revolves around accelerationism towards an all-out genocidal race war. If their white savior figure were to be martyred it could further radicalize the right towards that end. Keep in mind the last attempt on Trumps life was by a right-winger and that only galvanized his followers. They aren't angry with Trump, they're just insane bigots that will go to any lengths to promote genocide.
e.g. the Reichstag fire where Nazis burned down their own parliament to frame their enemies.

My guess is that the plan was to frame "the left" for the assassination and trigger a race war. These nuts are so itching for a fight that they believe that the entire country is on the verge of neighbors fighting neighbors, and they just need to push it over the edge.

Teen Kills Parents Under Influence of Online Nazis is the correct headline. "I'm gonna kill my parents so I have the money to kill the president" is not an assassination plot, it's just a delusion.
material on the teen's phone related to "The Order of Nine Angles," which is "a network of individuals holding new-Nazi racially motivated extremist views,"
calls for the assassination of Trump and the start of a revolution to "save the white race," according to federal court documents.
The alleged writings shows images of Adolf Hitler with the following text: "HAIL HITLER HAIL THE WHITE RACE HAIL VICTORY,"
Hard to grasp how incredibly broken those people are. Like, has no one ever told them it actually feels good to help other people? It's been scientifically supported as one of the most effective joy-inducing activities known, far beyond acquiring wealth or shopping. Ironically, it's probably the best way to demonstrate a sense of power (which these hollow souls seem to pursuing, through vitriol)...the power to influence someone else's existence in a beneficial way.

The hatred will consume itself. I hope to be left out of it.
The drone was a good idea, but… wow kid, you crazy.
