only took over 24 hours and global condemnation for him to change his tune.
no doubt this will be viewed as a win by his supporters and a sign he is learning on the job.

He needed to. Wonder why it took him so long to do it?
He calls out radical islamic terrorism all the time all most as soon as islamic terrorists commit their crimes, but why does he wait for a couple of days if it's a white American?
Just makes you wonder. Maybe because he's catering to Bannon?

Now that the president has called out white Americans, Black and all others are open season.
What? Open season on Blacks?
They are going to be handled the same way. As terrorists hate groups. I edited my post.

The more I think about this the more I realize how sad a state we are in in 2017. People on the Left are giving Trump credit for essentially coming out and saying, "Nazis are bad," while people on the Right are saying, "There! Are you happy now?" It's 2017 for f***'s sake! The President shouldn't have to give a speech saying Nazis are bad.
And yet his actions really did make it necessary that he call out Nazis for being bad. But then he couldn't even do it himself. He's a President that goes off script in pretty much every speech. But when it comes to saying Nazis are bad he pretty much repeats verbatim the statement that went out yesterday.
At this point I expect the reaction from the Trump sycophants. The fact that people on the Left are giving Trump a gold star over this is disconcerting though. He literally said something (Nazis=bad) that at least every middle schooler knows. And he needed help to express that sentiment.
Okay. He called out the KKK and neo-Nazis by name as being bad. Everyone already knew that. Why does he continue to skirt the actual events of Charlottesville? Why does he continue to avoid the fact that a domestic terror attack (per his own DOJ) took place when he has been so vocal about his opposition to terrorism in the past?
Trump did nothing special here. He pretty much completed the bare minimum required to be a human in 2017. Is that really the standard we're going to hold this President to?
No, the standard you and other anti trump people will hold him to is very different than you held the past president to.

But Obama didn't have his followers giving the Nazi salute and saying "Heil Trump"... yeah, this disturbs me to have Trump supporters mimicking Nazis on the streets of America.
Again, a double standard.

Again, a double standard.
Obamas gone and this constant comparison is just Right wing masturbation. btw...Hillary lost.
It's time for Trump and his supporters to take personal responsibility for their racism. Watch more videos and listen to the Trump styled neo nazis calling people on the street..."Nig***s" and "Nigg++ lovers" ....what matters is that they think Trump supports them. I think he does.
He doesn't have a great record of telling the truth.

Huh? Hes the leader of the country. Thats kinda the point. This was an act of terrorism at a free speech rally. Its EXACTLY the type of situation he needs to comment on.

You all know it took Obama 4 days to say something about the much worst San Bernardino Terrorist attack that was planned....
Trump officially denounces KKK, Neo-Nazis, racism, etc
