Me: "So Trump had to be updated by one of his trusted advisors when Trump was against and certainly knew who David Duke was by name"

You: You don't know that. Now get lost.

So you are saying that Trump was either lying back in 2000 when he most certainly knew who Duke was and what the KKK was and was all about and condemned David Duke by name and his association with the KKK; FWIW rightly pointing out then that they were a racist organization, Trump giving Duke's somewhat welcomed entry into the Reform Party, in great part one of the main reasons for Trump dissociating with the Reform Party, or that he is lying now or suffers from extreme memory loss and has to have a trusted advisor to not only remind him who David Duke is - was then back in 2000 and still is today in 2016, but also remind to Trump what he said earlier?

But In February, 2000, Donald Trump revealed that he knew enough about Duke to point out that the Klan member's entourage is "not company I wish to keep."

At the time, Trump was considering running for the presidency on the Reform Party ticket. He ultimately refused to go for the nomination, citing the party's troubling connections.

"So 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," Trump said.

What? Posting the truth about Trump hurts you and violates your Trump/logic free “safe space”?

I will post a response to any of your stupid statements posted here any dammed time I choose to.

You can choose to ignore me if you want, you can call me nasty names if that’s your best defense or you could, if you have the intellectual mettle, engage me in an honest and intellectual debate on the issues, which I would actually appreciate; but you will not ever silence me.

Again, are you denying that contrary to your assumption that Trump’s trusted advisors had to inform Trump on who David Duke, that Trump never heard of him or doesn’t know who he is runs contrary to the fact that Trump knew who Duke was in 2000 and called him out by name as a KKK supporter, a racist and someone Trump didn’t want to be associated with back then?

You truly are daft ... Trump has denounced Duke in the past, but he’s not going to do it again on the MSM’s terms ... if you are going to keep persisting in being intellectually dishonest , then I think debating this matter any further will be an exercise in futility ...
