Trump demurred when asked to weigh in on reports that he is popular with white supremacist groups. Meanwhile, a white nationalist website called VDARE has described Trump as “the first figure with the financial, cultural and economic resources to openly defy elite consensus”. During his last visit to the state Trump sparked controversy when he said Senator John McCain (R-AZ), a former POW, was not a war hero.
“And he has really said some incredibly great things recently”, he went on. “I praise the fact that he’s come out on the immigration issue”, Duke noted.
“What gets me is that it took so long for someone to see what Trump was saying and think “…I wonder what David Duke has to say about this?” “He has a good sense of what people want to hear, what they want to buy”, Duke continued to say about Trump.
“I don’t need his endorsement, I certainly wouldn’t want his endorsement, I don’t need anybody’s endorsement”, Trump said in an interview on Bloomberg News.
The billionaire’s outspoken remarks on immigration have already alarmed the Republican establishment and the public backing offered by Mr Duke, is likely to cause further embarrassment to Mr Trump and the party as a whole. “I really like the fact that he’s speaking out on this greatest immediate threat to the American people”.
According to BuzzFeed, Duke told his listeners: “He’s saying what no other Republicans have said, few conservatives say”.

To be clear, Duke says he hasn’t decided yet on officially endorsing Trump, and that the story got blown up by the “zionist media”.
