Don't worry Cherie, it may have dominated the media, but there are lots of individuals around who profess to be aware of that fact and to have given all the coverage their attenton, who are still clueless.

But don't worry Cherie, nothing about Trump or his support is racist.

While that is true, I think he would look far more credible with a massive condemnation of them of their very existence still and all their past activities.

Sitting back letting them gain any publicity at all does not look good at all.

Certainly an organisation no one should be wanting, getting or accepting the support of in any shape or form, in my view.

Back in March of 2016, Donald Trump repeatedly condemned both David Duke AND the KKK:

Trump denounces David Duke, KKK

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump issued a crystal clear disavowal Thursday of former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke after stumbling last weekend over a question about the hate group leader on CNN.

"David Duke is a bad person, who I disavowed on numerous occasions over the years," Trump said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"I disavowed him. I disavowed the KKK," Trump added. "Do you want me to do it again for the 12th time? I disavowed him in the past, I disavow him now."

The uproar started on Sunday when Trump was asked by CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" if he would disavow Duke and other white supremacist groups supporting his campaign.
"Just so you understand, I don't know anything about David Duke, OK?" Trump responded.
The next day, Trump blamed a "bad earpiece" during an appearance on NBC's "Today" show.

Facts, especially checkable facts Paul, SHOULD indeed settle arguments - But this is TIBB.

I think Trump is making good appointments. People should base their judgement on their own individual merits and not who likes them or doesn't like them. This is the first time in my life that I actually am proud of the president. We have had a string of really bad US presidents and Trump is a breath of fresh air.

Personally I'd say he's less of a breath of fresh air and more of a nice squirt of sulphur dioxide

The Irony.

I was in LA
in 2001 June
outside the studio
I asked a Fella walking past
what he thought
of GW Bush
he said "he liked him"

Of course later that year was 9/11
it all changed in USA
never the same


sorry for those that read this on another thread.

It's an iPlayer exclusive (as his other Election Autopsies have been) but I think it's on BBC2 at the weekend?

It's a good watch anyway
