I think your dislike of the current president is clouding your ability to see facts for what they are. Since the incident he condemned the guilty on the TV, tweeted about it multiple times, his daughter spoke extensively on the subject, various people in the administration condemned it. Prime minister of Canada pretty much repeated Trump's condemnation verbatim and got praised for it. I am not sure what else you need at this point.

It took him 2 days! He first raised a false equivalency between neo-nazis and the counter protestors. And he still hasn't labeled it domestic terorrism.

He also didn't label the liberal protester who attacked people with a bike lock as terrorists.

Are you making a an equivalence between a bike lock and a 2 ton missile used by a neo-nazi. That's disgusting

I'm still waiting on Obama's similar statement regarding this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_shooting_of_Dallas_poli...

Perhaps Trump had issues "untangling motives" hence the delay: http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jul/9/obama-says-moti...

Regarding Obama, that's whataboutism.

On not knowing all the facts. That's never stopped Trump before when a brown person was the perpetrator

Either not directly calling out racist attacks as racist is a problem for a president or it isn't. Unless you can tell me how one is different than the other?

I am making the equivalence between attacking those who's opinions are different then yours. There have been more people injured by anitfa then the other way around at these rally's and protests.

An automobile isn't a missile. One is designed for war and destruction, the other is a mode of transportation that can be used as a weapon.

The weapon used isn't what makes something terrorism.

He's making an equivalence between violence in the vicinity of protestors and violence in the vicinity of protestors.

Is terrorism the next english word that americans ruin?

He didn't say much about the resistance gunman who attacked the gop senators or the shooter who shot a republican in the head a few days prior to Charlottesville.

Emotions are running too hot.
