Because they care more for the future of the country than the liberal looter class?

Absolutely! That will clear it all up.

Here's a good time line -- he knew about him since 1991 (as anyone did who breathed the air back then).


Fact check: Trump

ETA: I am NOT a Democrat. I dislike Trump, and this shows his lies.

Maybe you could tell us why you think they are drawn to Trump. I would say it's because they support immigration reform, as does Trump, hence their support of Trump.

However, you do understand that two people can want the same things, but for very different reasons.

The white supremacists want immigration reform because they think it will lead to lower minority population. Trumps wants immigration reform to improve the economic opportunities for Americans. Which, btw, would greatly benefit minorities.

Lets be very clear, whatever support white supremacists have for Trump means only one thing, that they support some of Trumps ideas. It does not mean that Trump supports their ideas.

Gee, that was nice of him. 1997? How much time do you need to figure out KKK is not a nice bunch to hang around with. 50 years enough? In the mean time, if Trump takes more than 24 hours to renounce KKK he is racist.
