Someone at the White House must have held Trump's feet to the fire to convince him to finally make a proper statement as to what occurred in Chancellorsville. Trump tried to redeem himself today by finally giving a statement where he did actually condemn racists, white supremacists, neo-nazis, and the like. Of course the statement fell flat, partly because he prefixed such an important issue with a ridiculous statement about the economy, but mostly because he took so long to address the real issues. A question in my mind is Trump really that ignorant and arrogant with regard to his original statement, or was there a method to his madness? I suspect the latter. He knows the people he finally identified and condemned today are a big chunk of his supporters. By not singling them out at the outset, he can deliver this totally scripted teleprompter chatter today with a "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" to them. Who the hell would need a teleprompter to deliver such statement if they were in any way sincere? I hope this disgrace drives his polls further into the ditch where they belong.
