Former Grand Wizard of the KKK David Duke told his radio show on Wednesday that Donald Trump’s campaign could do wonders “rehabilitating” Adolf Hitler’s image.

David Duke, a onetime supreme leader of the Klu Klux Klan, suggested on his radio program yesterday that Donald Trump, whom he has encouraged his listeners and followers to vote for, may be helping to rehabilitate the image of Adolf Hitler.

In his Southern drawl, the onetime Louisiana legislator said that media comparisons drawn between the mustached German dictator and the straw-haired aspirational authoritarian were simply going to end up making Hitler look like a nicer fellow.

“The truth is, by the way, they might be rehabilitating that fellow with the mustache back there in Germany, because I saw a commercial against Donald Trump, a really vicious commercial, comparing what Donald Trump said about preserving America and making America great again to Hitler in Germany."

3. Donald Trump's ex-wife once said Trump kept a book of Hitler's speeches by his bed

When Brenner asked Trump about how he came to possess Hitler's speeches, "Trump hesitated" and then said, "Who told you that?" "I don't remember," Brenner reportedly replied. Trump then recalled, "Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount." Brenner added that Davis did acknowledge that he gave Trump a book about Hitler.

"But it was 'My New Order,' Hitler's speeches, not 'Mein Kampf,'" Davis reportedly said. "I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish."

After Trump and Brenner changed topics, Trump returned to the subject and reportedly said, "If, I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."

In the Vanity Fair article, Ivana Trump told a friend that her husband's cousin, John Walter "clicks his heels and says, 'Heil Hitler," when visiting Trump's office. http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trumps-ex-wife-once-said-he-kept-a-book-of-hitlers-speeches-by-his-bed-2015-8

17. Channeling Hitler is working pretty well for him so far.

The natural place to go next in my imagination is to wonder how he would take over the government. As commander in chief, would the armed forces be obligated to do his will?

19. The armed forces swear allegiance to the Constitution, not the Fuhrer

They are prohibited from executing illegal orders.

At least in theory. Apparently there was an Iraq war though, so not sure how well the oath works.

4. Take the trumpheads bowling

5. See? Trump is a big tent kind of candidate!

He can get the Klan, the White Supremacists, the Neo-Nazis, and the casual racists all together. Together, they are going to Make America Great Again (only Christian white males need apply).

6. Your post lies

You pasted:

In his Southern drawl, the onetime governor of Louisiana said that media comparisons

The link actually says

In his Southern drawl, Duke said that media comparisons

WTF is going on?

In the first place, Duke was never governor.

15. The post actually says "the onetime Louisiana legislator", which is true -

he was a Republican state representative in Louisiana.

16. The OP silently edited it after I posted. Article still does not say that.

The OP is altering excerpts, which is as bad as plagiarism but going the other way.

7. The sad thing is that I'm not surprised. n/t

8. I cannot believe we have a presidential candidate

who does not support the Constitution or the laws of the land, how is this legal? This man openly incites violence and flaunts his disregard for law and order and has not given any indication of being willing or capable of functioning within the confines of a political office. It is an insane gamble to enable this lunatic any further.

9. Trump is a LOT late. we rehabbed NAZI Germany 14 years ago

and we couldnt have done it without her support.

10. Radio Show?

I'm surprised that he's not squeezed in between Laura Ingraham, Hannity, Rush, Levin, Medved and what on my local 24/7 rwnj radio.

Peace

11. Grand Wizard...wth is that? Supreme Leader - who does he think he is, Kim Jong Un?

President of the KKK was just too politically correct? It adds to the total cuckooness of that guy.

18. Grand Wizard is the old time title

12. Ku. Not Klu.

Idiots. Get your hate group spelling right.
