    We all know how this is going to go:

    1. I don’t quote Hitler, I’m not a Nazi
    2. [Sarcastically] Well, I guess I’m Hitler now.
    3. But you know, Hitler had some good ideas, he was a strong leader
    4. Look, if Nazis want to support me, that’s their business, I’m not a Nazi, I just think Hitler was right about a lot of stuff…

    Meanwhile, in the small group of black and jewish people who support him, a few are going to trickle away. A few are going to jump on the sarcastic bandwagon and pretend that they support him because he’s a Nazi too. When he starts getting serious about liking Hitler, a few more will drift away, but others will just double down.
