Donald Trump is finally in trouble for retweeting KKK posts and endorsements from the KKK, Ayran Nations, Stormfront, Senator Jeff Sessions, Sheriff Joe Arpiao and David Duke, well in trouble with those who are not fans of his anyway. Even Ted Nugent has got into the act with “Donald Trump Is As Close To Ted Nugent As You Are Going To Get In Politics.”
“I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So I don’t know. I don’t know — did he endorse me, or what’s going on? Because I know nothing about David Duke; I know nothing about white supremacists.” Donald Trump said a few days ago here in 2016
And this from Donald Trump in 2000 when asked why he was leaving The Reform Party.
“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.”
In a recent article over at Politico a poll was done adding the concept of “authoritarianism” to the mix of what Donald Trump fans like about him. It turned out to be the main glue that holds them together.
“Authoritarians obey. They rally to and follow strong leaders. And they respond aggressively to outsiders.”
Have a familiar mid 20th Century ring to it?
