That wasn't my claim. If Trump tweeted a pic of himself holding a book about the KKK, you'd take that as him supporting the KKK.
Since I haven't encountered such a hypothetical tweet from Trump, the best I can do is look to how I've behaved in similar situations. If Trump stated something like what Ellison did, and I actually bothered to read it (something I'm not sure whether Roadie has actually done), I probably would want to know what he says following the tweet rather than simply jumping to conclusions that I find comforting. Again, YMMV. Imagining the situation, I'd probably shrug it off as a stupid miscalculation rather than saying something deeper about Trump. So, once again, you're wrong. But thanks once again for avoiding the point to focus on a triviality.
You may have responded to my prior post before I was finished editing it. There are additional questions that you haven't answered. https://atheistforums.org/thread-56906-p...pid1833396
