    After further questioning from the reporter, and responses from Trump about people who were at the Charlottesville rally to support keeping the Lee statue, the president said, “You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people — and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.”

    All those who marched in the rally marched in a nazi rally. If you march in a nazi rally in 2017, it’s because you’re a nazi.

    Trump said the side that was all nazis included very fine people. This bit:

    But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.

    was a lie.

      So not a single person in that rally was just a white nationalist, every participant must have been a national socialist? If so, prove it. If not then you were the liar in this instance, not Trump.

      Trump is clearly a moron, a narcisist, he’s probably a sociopath and he’s definitely a curse on the globe and on US politics specifically. Still, for some reason, people keep dragging up misleading and false quotes to try to condemn him, instead of just pointing to his actual words and actions, which are just as bad as the imagined ones.

      And then they wonder why the left is failing and Trump remains popular, as if the answer wasn’t staring back at them from the mirror…

        They were marching with obvious nazis. They were nazis. It’s not that hard to comprehend.

        Not like there’s much of a fucking difference between nazis and nazis who want to be called by a name they think is somehow better.

          You’re missing my point entirely. If you want to criticize someone then you need to be better than them. More accurate, more truthful and more levelheaded. If you just go down on their level and fling the same dirt around as them - like you’re doing - then you’ve accomplished nothing and you’ll convince no one.

            Well, they’re nazis and I’m not. So mission fucking accomplished.

                Who needs luck to be better than nazis? It’s real easy: just don’t be a nazi.
