> “So Trump had to be updated by one of his trusted advisors when Trump was against and certainly knew who David Duke was by name”
You don’t know that. Now get lost.
You: You don't know that. Now get lost.
So you are saying that Trump was either lying back in 2000 when he most certainly knew who Duke was and what the KKK was and was all about and condemned David Duke by name and his association with the KKK; FWIW rightly pointing out then that they were a racist organization, Trump giving Duke's somewhat welcomed entry into the Reform Party, in great part one of the main reasons for Trump dissociating with the Reform Party, or that he is lying now or suffers from extreme memory loss and has to have a trusted advisor to not only remind him who David Duke is - was then back in 2000 and still is today in 2016, but also remind to Trump what he said earlier?
But In February, 2000, Donald Trump revealed that he knew enough about Duke to point out that the Klan member's entourage is "not company I wish to keep."
At the time, Trump was considering running for the presidency on the Reform Party ticket. He ultimately refused to go for the nomination, citing the party's troubling connections.
"So the Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-Nazi, Mr. Buchanan, and a communist, Ms. Fulani. This is not company I wish to keep," Trump said.
