Here is a list of who endorsed whom in the race. It is apparently kept updated, and leaves in endorsements of those who have dropped out. (Which is interesting, too)

Hmm, seems he did disavow Duke way back when. Wonder what he's researching?

Donald J. Trump declined on Sunday to disavow the support of David Duke, the white nationalist and ex-Ku Klux Klansman, who has called Mr. Trump “by far the best candidate.”


Mr. Duke, a former Louisiana State Representative who once ran for president, is famous for his white supremacist views and is generally considered a pariah in politics. In an interview with CNN, Mr. Trump pleaded ignorance about him.


“Well, just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke,” Mr. Trump said. “I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy Mr. Trump’s lack of knowledge of Mr. Duke was surprising because he said as recently as Friday that he did disavow Mr. Duke’s support.


Mr. Trump also expressed his disapproval of Mr. Duke back in 2000 after deciding not to embark on a presidential bid in the Reform Party.


“The Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-Nazi, Mr. Buchanan, and a communist, Ms. Fulani,” Mr. Trump said in a statement, referring to Pat Buchanan and Lenora Fulani, the former standard-bearer of the New Alliance Party and an advocate of Marxist-Leninist politics. “This is not company I wish to keep.” ​(the quotes are Trump in 2000, guess he needs more reasons to disavow?)


But on Sunday, Mr. Trump insisted that he would not condemn someone who he does not know anything about.


“I don’t know David Duke,” he said. “I don’t believe I have ever met him. I’m pretty sure I didn’t meet him. And I just don’t know anything about him.”



or white supremacists.”


Mr. Duke has not formally endorsed Mr. Trump, but he has embraced the Republican presidential candidate’s cause wholeheartedly.

Wow! That took someone a lot of time.

I found it odd. When I looked at the list, all showed up immediately except for Trump's endorsements, on which I had to click to see.

I noticed that, too. I figured he must have more than anyone, but didn't really try to verify that.

I believe he (Trump) disavowed many years back. But then he did so Friday at a press conference, and then once again via twitter.
