query = """For months, as Donald Trump developed his political repertoire, he adopted an uncharacteristic reply 
for questions about fascism and the Ku Klux Klan: silence, or something close to it.
He used the technique as early as last August, when his opponents, and the press, still generally regarded him as a summer amusement. On August 26th, Bloomberg Television anchor John Heilemann brought up David Duke, the former Klan Grand Wizard, who had said that Trump was "the best of the lot" in the 2016 campaign. Trump replied that he had no idea who Duke was. Heilemann asked if Trump would repudiate Duke's endorsement. "Sure,"" Trump said, "if that would make you feel better, I would certainly repudiate. I don't know anything about him." Changing tack, Heilemann pressed Trump about an article in this magazine, which described Trump's broad support among neo-Nazis, white nationalists, and other members of the far right who were drawn in by his comments about Mexicans. Trump maintained a posture of indifference. "Honestly, John, I'd have to read the story. A lot of people like me." The interview moved on to other topics."""
