Can someone summarize his points? I find it a lot easier to defend him if I dont have to listen from him directly.

He basically read the 4chan talking points verbatim. Saying the Leftists who were rioting were just as bad as the Nazi's. Yadda yadda.

He didn't say anything that precisely "incorrect" (The counter protests were violent too, this is not really a debate).

The glaring problem is that he did not sound Presidential at all. He also refused to specifically disavow the Nazi's, and instead said not "everyone who was there was a Nazi". Again, factually correct but ffs, a large number WERE Nazi's, and the answer to that question for a US President is always "no, I do not support Nazi's".

he wanted to insist that all sides had bad people and all had good people... probably not even wrong :p but he just doesn't get the impression it gives
(plus praised himself & called media fake as usual)

...plus his total delusional lie that he waited on his statement cause he likes to have all the facts... that it would be wrong to make a statement before doing so... despite his instant tweets on muslims & Obama & fraud voting, etc before any facts known

The left is losing their shit because he said leftist rioters deserved part of the blame.

Trump is correct, and the medias collective snowflake meltdown in response is the reason people voted for trump in the first place.

btw, this Press conference was supposed to be about advancing an Infrastructure initiative.

I am sure everyone in the media and in the country writ large will now focus on his Infrastructure plan that outlined here.

I would call our president being a potential nazi sympathizer an extremely important topic.

He actually didn't say anything incorrect. He mostly said what everyone on the right and fair minded left have been saying. Both crowds were bad. Not all of them were neo nazis. Taking down these statues needs to be treated carefully.
Thankfully he didn't go after the fact that the police allowed two opposing groups of people, armed with weapons, reach each other.

He condemned nazis and other hate groups. He didn't sympathize with them. He simply stated the truth of the matter which is something snowflakes in the media, on social platforms and on this forum refuse to acknowledge. This is why when asked what he said that was incorrect, neither tw or aeros were able to point to anything. The media is just filled with cucks who can't take stand Trump.

And yes, the march had a legal permit. The counter protest was illegally blocking traffic. Again, the police really shit the bed.

Until the police declared it unlawful assembly, then itself became illegal. But cuckserves hate facts.

TRUMP:
"When I make a statement, I like to be correct. I want the facts. This event just happened. A lot of the event didn't happen yet as we were speaking. This event just happened. Before I make a statement, I need the facts. I don't want to rush into a statement. So making the statement when I made it was excellent."

"It isn't tribalism to admit facts."

Facts require context. The context of your facts is that it's perfectly ok to support the rally and condemn the other rioters as terrible people because -some- of the nazi group weren't actually nazis. Sure, this is fact. But it completely discounts the fact that these non-nazi nazis were completely comfortable being at a rally/parade/march with a bunch of actual nazis. That tells you something about these non-nazi people. They may not be nazi in name, but they clearly are just as despicable. It really doesn't matter how bad the opposition group is here. Do they advocate for genocide? Then they're a fuck ton better than the nazis. It's really that simple.

The tribalism comes in when you end up defending nazis because they support the head of your political party.

It just really shouldn't be too hard. Anyone who was there on the nazi side is truly one of the "deplorables" that Hillary referenced (I bring this up because she was fucking stupid and retardedly wrong when she said that. However, in this instance, it truly applies). You can condemn the nazis and call them bad apples. It's perfectly reasonable. Nobody here is defending the opposition beyond "they're better than nazis..." which, as you so enjoy pointing out, is just a fact.

I recall back in the early 80's when I was a member of the radical caucus we were planning an anti-draft march. There was a member of the Communist Party at the meeting.

after an 8th CEO resigned, Trump says he's disbanding the council... and Congress... the regional governors now have direct control over their territories

part of that is accurate

This is stupid. Just because someone shitty shares your belief on an issue doesn't mean that belief is wrong.

And we really have no context to the march. Somehow the fake news media hasn't been able to come up with numbers. We see about 50 assholes with weapons in a crowd of who knows? 100? 1000?

"This is stupid. Just because someone shitty shares your belief on an issue doesn't mean that belief is wrong. "

the event was organized by white nationalists, not statue-loving historians... so it's not like nazis showed up at the statue protest... but it's possible statue-lovers showed up at the nazi rally... however seems like it should've been clear... i haven't seen any videos where it's unclear but perhaps it exists... Trump defenders surely will scour for it & present

FOX went back and checked. Every time something similar happened in history ***NOT*** a single President denounced the bad guys.

President Trump is the ***ONLY*** one that has ever spoken out against the evil.

It is indeed all about the statues and the history they represent.

What the Neo-Nazi white supremacist group did they used the statues as a tool. It was not about the statues it was about a message they wanted to relay to the public. That was a stage they could utilize to do so. It is amazing that stupid motherfuckers like yourself buy into that. Where is factually noun that most of the statues will put up during a time of the Civil Rights Movement and they continued afterwards. It is also factual that Robert E Lee declare that any type of monuments in regards to the Confederacy or to what happened or transpired in the country he was not for it because it was causing too much division.
