Suppose it doesn’t matter since Trump has changed his position. But are you really suggesting that because Obama shacked up with Ayers and, well I could give you a dozen names Obama had associations with, Trump shouldn’t condemn the Klan and Duke, who to my knowledge he has no relations with. Avoiding the KKK tarpit would have been simple, a no brainer.
Trump already did disavow Duke several times last week so you present a false choice. Trump has absolutely no association with those clowns. Therefore, the question is totally inappropriate and an attempt to drag Trump into the KKK tar pit and smear him by (non) association. Any conversation on the subject is an attempt to damage Trump and he has absolutely no reason to go down that road in a TV interview.
I disagree, Trump has no associations with Duke or neo-Nazis I’m aware of. We agree. But he knew who Duke was by his own admission 15 years ago, and the Klan, he knows who they are. Bruce Campbells Chin got it right a couple posts downthread, billionaire, reality show success, he needs to step up his game if he want’s to be elected President. This was a no brainer question to disavow Duke’s support.
