Since the election I have been avoiding politics.
I am not fan of Trump. What news i have been unable to avoid has him looking pretty unpresidential at times IMO.
But this latest thing has been pretty disappointing to me. It shows just how far news has twisted shit (its just reversed itself since OB). I saw a headline on cnn.com this weekend that was something like, "SILENCE from the white house or trump or something."
Suggesting to the casual reader, like myself, that he didn't denounce anything at all.
Of course that didn't make any sense. So i looked on foxnews.com knowing that if he did say something it would be on there.
Did he not say something to the effect: "We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides – on many sides"?
Now, i will concede that he could have had made a better statement. But FFS. 
Why do we have trudge through mountains of shit all the time?
Can't we just report the dam news without trying to sway public opinion with propaganda all the time?
I've made it no secret that I don't like Trump, either as a person or even more so as President of the U.S. However, I agree that there was fault on both sides of the Charlottesville demonstration. It's not possible to have a contentious and violent riot with only one perspective in play. It is like having a fist fight with yourself....pretty hard to do.
Intentionally driving one's car into a crowd is nuts. There is no way to excuse this person's actions which does seem like domestic terrorism.
Normally I believe honesty is the best policy. Trump's comments are likely his honest opinion. Unfortunately, any President's comments are held to a different standard. Trump would do himself a huge favor if he'd stick to the script. Every time he's gone off-script, he'd dug himself deeper into a hole. At some point, which may already be the case, he won't be able to crawl out of said hole.
The media is vigilantly looking for anything about Trump that they can make newsworthy...a nugget which will fill the broadcasts until the next one comes along.
If we are to believe the media and the leaks, Trump is losing the support he needs from Congress to get anything accomplished with his promised agenda. In the long run, the unfulfilled campaign promises will ruin him. Even his die-hard base will eventually abandon him.
