Moments ago Donald Trump FINALLY took time out to actually address the ‘Charlottesville Riots’ for what they are. I mean it’s about time. However, you can tell that his intentions weren’t pure. Especially with the way, he began it boasting about himself.
Yes, our embarrassment of a President touted his own horn and fluffed his own toupee in a moment that was supposed to be dedicated to shining light on a riot that was led by all white domestic terrorists and claimed the life of an innocent person.
Nope, instead, we got this via Fox News,

Do you really think those people who have been hurt and are hurting at the hands of the White Nationalist care anything about the economy is looking like right now? A whole town is in crisis and the first thing that comes out your mouth is self-praise! Wow! Way to lead!
Then the president proceeded to finally call out the perps as KKK members, white nationalist, and white supremacist. But at this point, it became clear that the speech was not to provide a solution. It was for his own benefit. And was clearly advised by his administration to finally address the terrors. If it were up to him, nothing would be said.
