It’s highly doubtful that Donald Trump has sought the support of one of America’s own terrorist groups, but they are offering it with pride.

“The white race is dying out in America and Europe because we are afraid to be called ‘racist,’ says William Johnson, the leader of the white nationalist American Freedom Party.

David Duke was once a political candidate and a Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan. Recently he told his supporters: “Call Donald Trump’s headquarters [and] volunteer,” he said on the “David Duke Radio Program.” At Trump campaign offices, he said, “you’re gonna meet people who are going to have the same kind of mindset that you have.”

From Trump’s speeches, you would be forced to agree with these disreputable men. But does Trump truly believe in their vile philosophy? Personally, I doubt it; much of what Trump says is merely empty rhetoric to excite and bait his supporters. I don’t believe that he is pleased about their endorsements.

But this is what happens when the majority of your speeches contain racial remarks and the people believe that you are speaking to and for them. It’s the old idea of ‘you get what you pay for.’

Of course the media will love it when Trump campaigns in the south and men in white robes with hoods appear at his rallies. The cameras won’t stop rolling, and later in the evening the late night talk shows will seize the opportunity to unleash multiple humorous attacks.

And don’t forget Rubio and Cruz. Although there is no doubt that they share similar opinions, they will deny the truth and take the opportunity in another attempt to discredit Trump’s campaign.

I try not to think ahead, but after the election in November, I won’t have nearly as much fun writing for my blogs.
