Yes; and is why he courts it, sometimes two network shows broadcasting live interviews with him at the same time. Who is the master here at manipulation although he cries foul?

The billionaire passed on the Mussolini line "It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep" to his millions of followers on social media.
Asked if he wanted to be associated with a fascist, Mr Trump said: "No, I want to be associated with interesting quotes. Hey, it got your attention didn't it?"
Coming from a website here on ATS, that says 'don't be sheep' all the time, I see no problem with the quote. Are we supposed to be sheep and do whatever the establishment wants? Or do we stand for our voice?
I agree with Trump, it is an interesting quote, no matter who said it!

I dunno, live 100 years as a sheep? Sounds nice to me. Just hang out, walk around and sleep...live ONE HUNDRED YEARS...vs one day as a lion running after things all day and dying.
I kind of think it's a stupid quote and panders to people's emotions.

I just saw an interview from 2000...Trump absolutely knew who Duke was:

It shows Trump doesn't care either way. He cares about being popular and winning.
He didn't like Duke back then because it hurt that parties chances at being successful, and it hurts him now to take Duke's support.
Racist, not racist -- at this point it doesn't matter. What SHOULD matter is that he doesn't care either way -- which is how only a sleazy career politician would act.
And Trump isn't "establishment"? What?... total and utter BS. He's shown clearly that he acts and behaves just like any other politician. He's got his own money, but others have more -- and one common denominator among the wealthy elite? Those folks always crave more. More money, more power.
Two sides of the same coin people.
Queens, 1,000 white-robed Klansmen marched through the Jamaica neighborhood, eventually spurring an all-out brawl in which seven men were arrested.
One of those arrested was Fred Trump of 175-24 Devonshire Rd. in Jamaica.
When news of the old report surfaced last year, Donald Trump vehemently denied his father's arrest. "He was never arrested. He has nothing to do with this. This never happened. This is nonsense and it never happened," he said to the Daily Mail. "This never happened. Never took place. He was never arrested, never convicted, never even charged. It's a completely false, ridiculous story. He was never there! It never happened. Never took place."

And apparently he also denies his father being arrested in 1927 at a KKK rally...he really seems to think he can re-write history just by saying something never happened:

And Trump's revisionist, white-washing of history?

Washington Post
Trump is quite familiar with the KKK and Duke. Despite projecting an image of strength, his playing the "I don't know" card is incredibly weak.
To be clear, this is not proof that Trump senior—who would later go on to become a millionaire real estate developer—was a member of the Ku Klux Klan or even in attendance at the event. Despite sharing lawyers with the other men, it's conceivable that he may have been an innocent bystander, falsely named, or otherwise the victim of mistaken identity during or following a chaotic event.

I would much rather live one day on top of the world, than one hundred being herded around according to the will of others.
