David Duke on Trump: He's 'the best of the lot'
David Duke, the anti-Semitic former Ku Klux Klan leader, praised Republican front-runner Donald Trump for his immigration policy proposals and said Trump is "the best of the lot."
After ranting about "Jewish supremacy" and Jewish domination of the media, Duke took time out of two of his radio programs last week to talk up Trump's candidacy as a "great thing," praising the Republican candidate's plan to deport the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S.
"Trump is really -- he's really going all out. He's saying what no other Republicans have said, few conservatives say. And he's also gone to the point where he says it's not just illegal immigration, it's legal immigration," Duke said last week on his radio show, also pointing to Trump's plan to put more restrictions on work visas to ensure Americans are hired before foreigners. Buzzfeed News first reported the comments on Tuesday.
Duke, who previously served in the Louisiana statehouse and ran for U.S. Senate in that state, did not endorse Trump and said Trump remains untrustworthy for his "deep Jewish connections" and support for Israel.
Trump, whose daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism and is religiously observant, has been very vocal about his support for Israel and has slammed President Barack Obama's administration for strained relations with the Israeli government.
CNN has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment.
Trump this year was honored with the "Liberty Award" by The Algemeiner, a leading Jewish newspaper in the U.S., for his contributions to the U.S.-Israel relationship.
Duke said that while he was unsure about the sincerity of Trump's views, he said he was glad Trump was bringing the issue of immigration to the fore.
"I don't think he's trustable ... but at the same time, great, I don't care what his motivation is on this issue, at least it's being discussed," Duke said on his program.

Donald Trump has attacked Republican presidential rival Carly Fiorina’s looks, wondering why anyone would vote for someone with her face.
The latest outrageous comment by the billionaire developer appears in a profile published in Rolling Stone magazine Wednesday.
“Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!” Trump said of Fiorina.
“I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?”
Fiorina responded on Fox News Channel, saying she’s “getting under his skin” because she’s up in the polls.

Jindal is on life support, and his last ditch effort to blast the front runner is his only hope to get press. Better look for the back door Jindal, because you won't be able to find it later with your head tucked between your legs.

1973 | Meet Donald Trump
</header></article>
Donald Trump “getting into his Cadillac to begin a day of real estate deals,” was the original caption of this 1976 photograph.
Some Americans are just getting to know Donald Trump. Readers of The Times have known him for 42 years.
They first met him, on the front page no less, on Oct. 16, 1973. Then 27 years old, Mr. Trump was the president of the Trump Management Corporation, at 600 Avenue Z in Brooklyn, which owned more than 14,000 apartments in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.
“Major Landlord Accused of Antiblack Bias in City,” the headline stated. The Department of Justice had brought suit in federal court in Brooklyn against Mr. Trump and his father, Fred C. Trump, charging them with violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968 in the operation of 39 buildings.
“The government contended that Trump Management had refused to rent or negotiate rentals ‘because of race and color,’ ” The Times reported. “It also charged that the company had required different rental terms and conditions because of race and that it had misrepresented to blacks that apartments were not available.”
Donald Trump’s first quoted words in The New York Times expressed his view of the charges:
“They are absolutely ridiculous.”
“We never have discriminated,” he added, “and we never would.”
Two months later, Trump Management, represented by Roy M. Cohn, turned around and sued the United States government for $100 million (roughly $500 million in today’s terms), asserting that the charges were “irresponsible and baseless.”
“Mr. Trump accused the Justice Department of singling out his corporation because it was a large one, and because the government was trying to force it to rent to welfare recipients,” The Times reported.
Under an agreement reached in June 1975, Trump Management was required to furnish the New York Urban League with a list of all apartment vacancies, every week, for two years. It was also to allow the league to present qualified applicants for every fifth vacancy in Trump buildings where fewer than 10 percent of the tenants were black.
Trump Management noted that the agreement did not constitute an admission of guilt.
Mr. Trump himself said he was satisfied that the agreement did not “compel the Trump organization to accept persons on welfare as tenants unless as qualified as any other tenant.”
By then, his interests had grown far beyond his father’s real-estate empire and reached into Manhattan. Judy Klemesrud portrayed him on Nov. 1, 1976:
“He is tall, lean and blond, with dazzling white teeth, and he looks ever so much like Robert Redford. He rides around town in a chauffeured silver Cadillac with his initials, DJT, on the plates. He dates slinky fashion models, belongs to the most elegant clubs and, at only 30 years of age, estimates that he is worth ‘more than $200 million.’ ” (That’s gone up a bit.)
Three years later, he was the subject of a long profile the paper put on its "second front."
Donald J. Trump in the living room of his three-bedroom penthouse at 160 East 65th Street in 1976.
Mr. Trump was already proving to be quite adept at courting reporters. “He was one of those who always returned a phone call,” said Charles Kaiser, the author of “The Cost of Courage.”
When Mr. Kaiser was a real estate reporter at The Times, in the early years of Edward I. Koch’s mayoralty, New York City was determined to build a convention center, to show the world that it was on the rebound from the mid-1970s fiscal crisis. Mr. Trump held an option on one of the possible sites, over a rail yard at the western end of 34th Street.
“Trump’s site was the only one that was all ready to go,” Mr. Kaiser recalled. “I was about to go on vacation to Europe to visit my parents when I called him up and said, where will it be? ‘It’s my site,’ he said. ‘You can bank on it.’
“He was my only source, and it was the only time I took a chance like this with a single source. I wrote it would be built there, it went on Page 1, and I climbed on a plane to Budapest.” (“Koch Said to Have Chosen 34th St. as Site of New Convention Center,” March 31, 1978.)
Back when trans-Atlantic telephone service was reserved for the most important and urgent communications, it must have been doubly jarring for young Mr. Kaiser to receive a call from his editor, Sheldon Binn, in Budapest the next day.
“Who was your source?” Mr. Binn demanded. “Koch is going crazy.”
“Donald Trump,” Mr. Kaiser answered.
“That’s what I figured,” Mr. Binn said.
As Mr. Kaiser told it: “Koch had a press conference, said I was a fine reporter, and my story was 100 percent without foundation. No one had told Ed yet they had chosen the site — or maybe they hadn’t! In any case, I was vindicated a month later.” (“Convention Site at West 34th St. Chosen by Koch,” April 29, 1978.)
The choice of the site for the convention center, Mr. Trump said, was “perhaps the most significant economic decision made in New York City since the building of the United Nations.” Still so young, he was perhaps too modest to say, “Since Peter Minuit purchased Manhattan Island.”

Crowd waiting for Pope Francis boos Donald Trump outside Trump Tower
MANHATTAN — Donald Trump was booed outside of the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue by a crowd waiting for Pope Francis’ arrival.
The GOP presidential candidate emerged from Trump Tower and waved at the crowd of tens of thousands, around 4:30 p.m., according to live coverage feed of the New York Times.
Recognize Anyone? #Donaldtrump waiting for #PopeinNYC. #trumptower pic.twitter.com/LytOPh4oy8
— HughLaurious (@HughLaurious) September 24, 2015
Trump was initially greeted with cheers, but it quickly turned into loud boos. He retreated back into the building.
The real estate mogul made another attempt to greet the crowd around 6:15 p.m. This time, the crowd yelled, “Feo! feo!” — Spanish for ugly.
One of the people waiting in the crowd, told the New York Times, “I’m here for the pope of love. I’ve had enough of Donald Trump.”
The crowd waiting for the pope, who arrived on Thursday night, was made up largely of Hispanics. Trump has previously made multiple comments against immigrants.
In a previous interview with CNN, Trump said he had much respect for the pope. However, when asked about how he would respond to Pope Francis’ views on capitalism as greedy and corrupt, the GOP candidate said, “I’d say ISIS wants to get you.”

'We love you all the way to the White House!': Trump meets his most enthusiastic fan yet, who just happens to be Hispanic... but he swears it isn't a stunt
He consistently brags that Hispanic voters 'love me' and that 'I will win the Hispanic vote' - and apparently here's the proof.
During a rally in Las Vegas on Thursday, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump brought a Colombian woman up on stage, who showered him with adoration.
The real estate mogul - who kicked off his campaign with controversial comments about wanting to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border to keep out illegal immigrants - was speaking about his current cover of People when he noticed the woman in the audience waving the magazine.
The superfan, local Myriam Witcher, 35, was invited to the podium and excitedly told Trump how much she loved him.

In a case of interesting timing, the stage performance came right after Trump cancelled a planned appearance before the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, apparently due to a personal squabble with the organization's leaders.
The billionaire was supposed to appear at a candidate forum in Washington D.C. and submit to a question-and-answer session with the group.
But that changed sometime late last week, when Trump pulled the plug and said he had never promised to appear in the first place.
The episode seems likely to worsen Trump's wobbly-at-best standing with Hispanic voters, many of whom he angered on the very first day of his campaign, in his announcement press conference at Trump Tower in Manhattan.
On that day, he described Mexican immigrants as 'criminals' and 'rapists,' before eventually conceding, 'and some are probably good people.'

But he doubled down on the comments in multiple subsequent interviews, and has repeatedly refused to apologize for them.
Instead, he has described immigration reform as the central theme of his campaign, vowing to deport all of the approximately 11 million illegal immigrants currently believed to be in the U.S. if he is elected president.
The most recent compilation of major national polls by Real Clear Politics shows Trump in first place, where he's been since mid-summer, six percentage points ahead of his closest rival, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.
However, a recent NBC News-Wall Street Journal report shows Trump lagging badly among Hispanic voters, 67 percent of whom view him negatively.
In a scathing editorial on Sunday, the national Spanish-language newspaper La Opinion accused Trump of lying and said he 'chickened out' by cancelling his appearance Thursday.
'This will definitely not help improve Trump’s image among Latinos,' the paper editorialized. 'After bashing immigrants and hiding behind those who agree with him, he adds “coward” to the many adjectives that describe him.'
Trump's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Donald Trump says 'there could certainly be a place' for Chris Christie as his running mate
Chris Christie could become Donald Trump’s apprentice.
The Republican presidential candidate opened the door Wednesday to a possible ticket with the New Jersey governor.
“He is a very good guy,” Trump said when asked by NBC News for his opinion on the New Jersey governor and fellow 2016 candidate.
There could certainly be a place for him,” the mogul said after being asked whether he would consider Christie as a running mate if he won the White House.
Trump’s comments, made at a New Hampshire political rally, came just a day after the fourth Republican debate Tuesday night.
TRUMP VOWS TO IMPLEMENT 'DEPORTATION FORCE'

Chris Christie could become Donald Trump’s apprentice.
The Republican presidential candidate opened the door Wednesday to a possible ticket with the New Jersey governor.
“He is a very good guy,” Trump said when asked by NBC News for his opinion on the New Jersey governor and fellow 2016 candidate.
There could certainly be a place for him,” the mogul said after being asked whether he would consider Christie as a running mate if he won the White House.
Trump’s comments, made at a New Hampshire political rally, came just a day after the fourth Republican debate Tuesday night.

Donald Trump's marathon of meanness reaches new low, mocks reporter's physical handicap during campaign rally
Now, he's even trumped himself.
Donald Trump’s marathon of meanness reached a new low when the presidential candidate mocked a reporter’s physical handicap during a campaign rally.
“Now the poor guy, you ought to see the guy,” Donald Trump said, mimicking reporter Serge Kovaleski. “‘Uhh, I don’t know what I said. I don’t remember.’ ”
Trump, speaking to supporters in South Carolina on Tuesday, was defending his remarks about Muslims in Jersey City supposedly celebrating 9/11 when he called out reporter Serge Kovaleski — whose Washington Post article Trump quoted.
Kovaleski, who now works for The New York Times, said recently he didn’t remember “thousands, or even hundreds, of people celebrating.”
Kovaleski, a New York Times reporter, suffers from arthrogryposis.
“Now the poor guy, you ought to see the guy,” Trump said, mimicking the reporter. “‘Uhh, I don’t know what I said. I don’t remember.’ ”
As he spoke, Trump gyrated his arms, mocking Kovaleski’s movements. Kovaleski, who once worked at the Daily News, suffers from arthrogryposis, a congenital condition that limits the movement of the joints and weakens the muscles around them.
Trump made the remarks at a Myrtle Beach, S.C., rally on Tuesday.
“We think it’s outrageous that he would ridicule the appearance of one of our reporters,” a Times spokeswoman said.
Meanwhile, Trump is reportedly annoying reporters by requiring that journalists who hear nature’s call while covering his campaign rallies be escorted from the news “pen” to bathrooms.

Donald Trump denies he mocked disabled reporter: 'I have no idea who this reporter, Serge Kovlaski, is'
Donald Trump denied mocking a reporter’s physical disability — insisting Thursday he has no idea what the journalist looks like, while lashing out at the “financially failing and totally biased” New York Times for calling him out.
“I have no idea who this reporter, Serge Kovalski is, what he looks like or his level of intelligence,” Trump said in a statement Thursday, misspelling the maligned reporter’s last name. “I don’t know if he is J.J. Watt or Muhammad Ali in his prime — or somebody of less athletic or physical ability.”
Trump had gone after Kovaleski, who has a congenital condition called arthrogryposis that limits the movement of joints, at a campaign rally on Tuesday, flailing his arms in apparent mockery of the journalist’s movements.
“Now the poor guy, you ought to see the guy,” he said as he gestured.
Trump’s insensitive comments sparked an onslaught of criticism that intensified Thursday — with many journalists and disability advocates ripping the boorish billionaire for stooping to a new low.
Trump has come under fire for his latest insensitivity, mocking a reporter with a physical disability. But the GOP presidential candidate has denied he even knew what the reporter looked like.
“Donald Trump owes @sergenyt an apology. Serge K is a dogged reporter who deserves respect, not Trumpian mocking,” Washington Post reporter Dan Balz said on Twitter.
“@sergenyt is one of the best reporters — and best people — I know. This is despicable,” added ESPN writer Don Van Natta Jr.
Kovaleski — who frequently covered Trump while working at the Daily News between 1987 and 1993 — said he has no doubt the real estate mogul remembers him.
“The sad part about it is, it didn’t in the slightest bit jar or surprise me that Donald Trump would do something this low-rent, given his track record,” Kovaleski told The Washington Post.
New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski, who formerly worked at the Daily News, was allegedly mocked by Donald Trump at a campaign rally earlier this week.
But the real estate mogul insisted the attack had nothing to do with the reporter’s disability.
“Somebody at the financially failing and totally biased New York Times said that, over the years, I have met Mr. Kovaleski. Despite having one of the all-time great memories, I certainly do not remember him,” Trump said. “What I do know is that after 14 years, and no retraction, this reporter tried to pull away from the tailgate party paragraph he wrote many years ago for The Washington Post.”
While working at the Post, Kovaleski wrote that New Jersey authorities were questioning “a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating” the Sept. 11 attacks.
Trump pointed to that story to back up his controversial claim that thousands of New Jersey Muslims celebrated the attacks, but Kovaleski recently pointed out that no one had charged at the time that there were “thousands” of people celebrating.
“His recent statement, to me, seemed like (again without knowing what he looks like) he was groveling and searching for a way out from what he wrote many years before,” Trump said.
While claiming he had no idea what reporter Serge Kovaleski looked like, Trump said, “I don’t know if he is J.J. Watt (l.) or Muhammad Ali (r.) in his prime — or somebody of less athletic or physical ability.”
“I merely mimicked what I thought would be a flustered reporter trying to get out of a statement he made long ago. If Mr. Kovaleski is handicapped, I would not know because I do not know what he looks like. If I did know, I would definitely not say anything about his appearance.”
Meanwhile, an advocacy group offered Trump some sensitivity training.
“It is unacceptable for a child to mock another child’s disability on the playground, never mind a presidential candidate mocking someone’s disability as part of a national political discourse,” said Jay Ruderman of the Ruderman Family Foundation, a nonprofit that promotes education, housing and employment for people with disabilities.
Ruderman said the blustery businessman could use a “series of sensitivity training sessions” and offered to provide him with classes.
