Trump Gave His First Major Interview As The Official GOP Nominee. It Was Completely Unhinged.

Trump Gave His First Major Interview As The Official GOP Nominee. It Was Completely Unhinged.

Trump did not completely rule out supporting former KKK grand wizard David Duke in his run for Senate

Trump tried to rebuke David Duke, who has praised Trump and filed to run for Senate as a Republican in Louisiana last week, before Todd could finish his question. But when Todd asked if Trump would support a Democrat over Duke, Trump said it depended on who the Democrat was.

Trump described his speech at the Republican National Convention as “optimistic”

Todd said Trump’s speech had been called “dark” and “that there wasn’t enough optimism in it.” Trump cited the attacks in Afghanistan and Munich and said he didn’t think the speech was dark.
“I thought it was very optimistic,” Trump said. “To me, it was an optimistic speech.”

Not only was the speech repeatedly described as dark, it also contained many falsehoods.
