Maybe Trump does not have a racist bone in his body,
but he certainly has a racist mouth.

He is a virulently racist "not a racist"
... in Brooklyn-Queens, New York! We aren't talking about the Deep South where maybe it's (or used to be) a socially-acceptable thing to do. In New York the KKK has never been socially acceptable, and Fred Trump was an outlier 80 years ago. He ran his real estate and apartment rental business by illegally excluding minorities, or segregating them to separate buildings. Chump grew up with this racism and continued it in his own business practices. He has never made an effort to disown or rehabilitate the racism of his family heritage.
I believe he has turned his fear/hatred of black people into the specific hatred of Muslims and dark-skinned immigrants, but that's been done for political gain.
... however people didn't brag about their membership. Only other Klan members knew who actually was in the Klan. And I do know where Pawling is - hard by the Connecticut border, just north of I-84.
