TRUMP COUNTS KLANSMEN & NAZIS AS FRIENDS

Time to give Wolf Blitzer credit where credit is due. He is one member of the commercial media that found a key angle to make the point that tens of millions of Americans have been riled about all year. It's the threat that Don Trump poses to abuse, imprison, and/or murder innocent people who are part of racial and religious minority groups, ala Adolf Hitler.

The Trumpologists say those claims are crazy and unfounded, that nothing like that is actually on the agenda beginning in 2017. But what does Trump say? Not much. Just a few words scattered here and there over the past several months, and only when strongly pushed on the subject.

According to press releases from the Trump campaign, the presumed-president-elect "disavows" the so-called Alt-Right. A tweet or two says he doesn't know David Duke. The occasional comment by the Don himself have only lightly brushed the topic aside.

But there has been no clear and comprehensive rebuke of the Ku Klux Klan, or the Nazis, along the same lines as dozens of other topics (and people) that have been roundly pounded by the son of a Klansman. And that's what Wolf Blitzer exposed last week.

This is an uncommon example of a long-time veteran of the mainstream media actually UNCOVERING A KEY ANGLE with which to view the current news. It seems more typical these days for new perspectives to come from the less traditional news-sources, and to be "picked up by" mainstream media. CNN reports on the story here. The Huffington Post has the story here. And Media Matters has their version here.

Wolf Blitzer has made the

most important point of the election to date.

We can all see Trump getting riled-up,

almost out-of-control at times, over certain things.

But not over this thing.

TRUMP DOES NOT SEEM TO BE BOTHERED

BY THE NAZIS OR THE KLAN.

Consider some of the many other things that seem more important to Trump that rebuking the Klan and the Nazis. Here are some of the topics of his most famous "twitter wars":

• The Khan Family
• The Hamilton play
• The Mexican President
• Cher
• Jon Stewart
• Miss Universe
• New York Times

This list could go on and on and on and on. Like the "Energizer Bunny", when Trump really cares about a subject - - - when he feels it - - - he racks up the twitter feed and rolls out the tweets ad infinitum. Consider his hundreds of twitter wars with the media, as summarized here by Bloomberg. There have been so many twitter wars triggered by Trump that the New York Times summed-up the 282 people, places, and things that Trump has taken on, just since he declared his campaign for the presidency.

If Don Trump wanted to make his views about the Klan

and the Nazis well-known, he would have

"taken them on" via Twitter by now.

The fact that he has not, as pointed out by Wolf Blitzer,

proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is not bothered by,

or offended by, the various elements of the so-called "Alt-Right".
