Bravo to The Donald. He has received high praise from the cream of the crop of bigots, former leader of the KKK and self-described white nationalist David Duke. Duke is ever so impressed with Trump's unabashed racism. On his program last week, Duke took the opportunity to give his pure white support to Trump, much to the delight of knuckle-dragging bigots everywhere.
Please follow below the fold.
Duke didn't come right out and endorse Trump. He is reticent to do so given his "deep Jewish connections" and his support of Israel. Still, he thinks The Donald is "the best of the lot" of GOP contenders.
I praise the fact that he’s come out on the immigration issue. I’m beginning to get the idea that he’s a good salesman. That he’s an entrepreneur and he has a good sense of what people want to hear what they want to buy.
And I think he realizes that his path to popularity toward power in the Republican Party is talking about the immigration issue. And he has really said some incredibly great things recently. So whatever his motivation, I don’t give a damn. I really like the fact that he’s speaking out on this greatest immediate threat to the American people.
I’ve said from the beginning I think his campaign is good in the sense that it’s bringing these issues to a discussion which we have to have in America. And he’s continuing to move the envelope further and I think he understands the real sentiment of America.
Trump, he’s really going all out. He’s saying what no other Republicans have said, few conservatives say. And he’s also gone to point where he says it’s not just illegal immigration, it’s legal immigration.
So this is a great opportunity. So although we can’t trust him to do what he says, the other Republican candidates won’t even say what he says. So he’s certainly the best of the lot. And he’s certainly somebody that we should get behind in terms, you know, raising the image of this thing.
And there is the nut of Donald Trump's popularity. It isn't for his business acumen or his strength on foreign policy. It is the fact that he is willing to forego the dog whistle and pander to racism unlike any candidate has done for generations. Congratulations, Donald. Your willingness to "tell it like it is" has avowed white supremacists crawling out of the woodwork to give you slimy pats on the back. You must be so proud.
