Durante la campaña electoral, cuando David Duke (ex “Gran Brujo” del KKK) lo apoyó públicamente, Trump tardó un tiempo escandalosamente largo en rechazar a Duke y sus seguidores; también incitó más de una vez a la violencia, al tiempo que manifestaba ilimitada admiración por líderes autoritarios como el presidente ruso Vladimir Putin.
And Trump has often hesitated to disavow them; during the election campaign, when former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke publicly backed him, Trump was scandalously slow to reject Duke and his followers. Trump also repeatedly incited violence during the campaign, while evincing a bottomless affection for authoritarian leaders such as Russian President Vladimir Putin.
