What that "something" is probably has nothing to do with anything decent.
I think Trump is a buffoon, rather than a Nazi/KKK type.
Sorry I actually skipped over this originally, but I saw that you replied to my first post so I will reply to yours. This logic actually has no foundation. If the KKK as a group decided that they strongly support the consumption of pie, that would not make pie evil. Nor would it make any presidential candidate who loves pie bad. This is obviously an extreme example, but it is applicable to countless other things.
For instance, if trump wants people to only come here legally and not illegally, that would obviously appeal to the KKK who hates Mexicans. If their beliefs aligned completely, trump would be saying "Get all Mexicans out of America.", and not just "Make them follow the law." But they agree MORE with that, than with "Eh, just let them break the law, its fine." The KKK and Nazi opinions align with trump for several inches, before diverging for miles. That does not make those first few inches evil, as evil people often have countless non evil beliefs.
