“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.
Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”
“I don’t remember,” I said.
“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.” (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”)
Not surprising considering Trump has a book of Hitler speeches next to his bedside he reads nightly and he has been caught numerous times re-tweeting white supremacists on his Twitter. Of course he plays dumb when he gets called out on it like he's playing dumb here. Of course he knows who David Duke is and of course he knows who the KKK are, and the fact he refuses to denounce either is appalling, even for someone as stupid and ignorant as Trump. Not only is he a pathetic fraud, he's a racist and a sexist, he's finished. Even if he were to win enough delegates, the GOP will block his nomination at the convention with Rule 40 or another method they have in their back pockets. Or as a last resort, they will find a good candidate to run 3rd party or Independent and take votes from Trump so Hillary wins. The GOP has enough problem with women and minority voters to have a blatant racist and sexist win the GOP nomination. This clown is finished and will be back to his garbage reality shows.
Has HILdebeast gone on record denouncing Duke or the KKK? Any other candidates?
Polling showed that close to half of the Republican voters in last weekend’s South Carolina primary were in favor of deporting undocumented immigrants immediately; Trump carried those voters with 47%. A whopping 74% of Palmetto State voters said they approved of Trump’s plan to put an indefinite hold on non-American-Muslims from entering the country; Trump scored 41% of those ballot-casters, “more than twice as many supporters of the ban in South Carolina as any other candidate.”
The Times also reports that Trump supporters are overwhelmingly in favor of troubling things Trump himself has not commented on.
He has said nothing about a ban on gays in the United States, the outcome of the Civil War or white supremacy. Yet on all of these topics, Mr. Trump’s supporters appear to stand out from the rest of Republican primary voters.
The data from Public Policy Polling, which the Times notes is aligned with the Democratic Party, shows that Trump has nearly double the support of voters in favor of outright banning gay and lesbian people from entering the country that Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have, and nearly five times as many supporters who support that position than Ben Carson and John Kasich.
YouGov’s data says that Trump supporters are more likely to disagree with President Truman’s 1948 decision to desegregate the military. However, Trump supporters are equally in agreement with Cruz’s that the unconstitutional internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II was a good idea at close to 33%.
P.P.P.’s numbers showed that a lower number of Trump voters in South Carolina disagreed with the idea of white supremacy than the four other candidates’ supporters. Nearly two-fifths of Trump’s base “wish[es] the South had won the Civil War” and 70% “wish the Confederate battle flag were still flying on their statehouse grounds.” According to YouGov, nationally, 20% of Trump voters would not have freed the slaves after the Civil War.
