Trump "I don't know" about the KKK is when I decided to kick his ass.

Trump WON'T condemn David Duke or white supremacists and their support of his campaign:
"I don't know" anything about them


“I don’t know anything about David Duke, I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists,” Trump says. “I know nothing about David Duke, I know nothing about white supremacists.”

In 1927, a thousand Klansmen paraded in Queens, then rioted. Seven were arrested. One of them was Fred Trump: :large

He is really stupid! He says whatever he thinks his crowd want to hear. One of these days he'll say the wrong thing and they'll be done with him.

Don't hold your breath.

The media are doing for Trump exactly what they did for the Chimp in 99-2000, but for perhaps less ideological reasons this time.

I don't see things changing....he's making them too much money.

GREAT get, BTW.
