Trump Blames ‘Lousy Earpiece’ for Not Denouncing David Duke
The Daily Beast ^ | 2/29/16

Posted on 02/29/2016 5:11:34 AM PST by justlittleoleme

Donald Trump blamed a “lousy earpiece” for why he claimed he didn’t know who David Duke was during a CNN interview on Sunday.

On NBC’s Today show Monday, Trump said he knows who Duke is (a former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan who will vote for him), but claimed he never met him.

Trump also said he only didn’t know the white-supremacist groups that host Jake Tapper asked him about.

Nevertheless, Trump refused several opportunities to denounce the racists supporting him. On Sunday night, he tweeted that he disavowed their support.

So what, I had to scratch my head over his name too.

Why so enamored with a manufactured distraction, isn’t there anything you can say or do to bolster your candidate?

Why couldn’t your candidate remember the details of a person whom he disavowed only two days earlier?
Why can’t he simply come out against the Klan when asked?

Hopefully he doesn’t forward any other Mussolini quotes today.

“On “Meet the Press,” host Chuck Todd asked Trump about the retweet.

“Do you like the quote? Did you know it was Mussolini?” Todd inquired.

Trump suggested that he did, in fact, like the quote:

Sure. It’s OK to know it’s Benito Mussolini. Look, Mussolini was Mussolini. It’s OK. It’s a very good quote. It’s a very interesting quote. And I saw it and I know who said it. But what difference does it make, whether it’s Mussolini or somebody else?

“That’s probably why I have, between Facebook and Twitter, 14 million people,” Trump said of his followers. “It’s a very interesting quote, and people can talk about it,” he added.

“Do you want to be associated with a fascist?” Todd asked.

“No, I want to be associated with interesting quotes,” Trump replied.

“We do interesting things. And I sent out and certainly, hey, it got your attention, didn’t it?” he asked Todd.

Sorry to point out flaws in the memory or veracity of your messiah.

I want to still have a political party to challenge the left.

Your type just wants to destroy everything people have spent lifetimes working to build.

The unexplained:

Trump says over and over that he cannot release his tax returns “until the audit is finished.”

Since Trump hasn’t explained why this is so, and the press is too timid to ask, can anyone here explain exactly why this makes sense???
==
Who cares? Absolutely irrelevant. Ever heard of a Dem being pressured into releasing their return, just another double standard our guys have to live up to. Plus R and C proved their just effeminate little boys by running out and releasing theirs. Trump Strong.

“What fraternity did Trump belong to?”

Read my post again, please. It is hypothetical.
