What most people miss is that his answer is intended to purposely generate attention, argument, and debate all of which Trump benefits from and he is a master of this type of self promotion. See because while we're all talking about Trump and his gall not to know about the KKK all the attention is again on Trump with free press and attention while his opponents are left again in the shadows having to pay for such air time and attention.
gotta give Donald his props for knowing how to really play the media
He said he couldn't denounce groups that he knows nothing about. He said if he researches them, and they are involved in wrongdoing, he would denounce them.
Except Trump is lying, as he did once condemn Duke but is now pretending not to know him:
Quote:
However, Trump had spoken out about Duke, recognizing him as a Klansman, in 2000 when he decided to end his exploration of a run for president, according to the New York Times. “The Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-Nazi, Mr. Buchanan, and a communist, Ms. Fulani,” Trump said at the time. “This is not company I wish to keep.”
"I would do that if it would make you feel better," he said, adding "I don't know anything about him."
Only someone completely clueless about American events over the last 30 yrs wouldn't know anything about him, imo. Too busy scamming and conning to pay attention to this sort of thing maybe?

What I would have said is "Jake, it's a stupid question and if you can't do better than this your network needs to ask for a refund of some of your salary".
How exactly is this a stupid "gotcha" question, seems like it is a very easy and straight forward question...
