..I think with Trump and a huge vein of his campaign in the beginning in particular...is that he actively threw racial prejudice and intolerance out there..and once it's out there it's not in his control anymore of how it grows and how it gathers moss and the consequences of that so he can't not take responsibility for 'awakening' something that other presidents have tried to progress from...whatever his views on the KKK, he does have to take some responsibility for their support because he very well knew that he would get the support of extreme racism as well as any other reasons for supporting...he can't just take the good bits of support and dismiss the grim and concerning bits which he has played a part in with a hmmmm, nothing to do with me type thing....this has always been the thing for me, you can't just take things back/the effects and result of, once something is put out there and out of your control once released...
