President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Just a reminder that Trump called neo-Nazis "very fine people".

C'mon, now, we all know The Atlantic is your favorite (now that Esquire made all those changes).

 

Trump didn't say that neo-Nazis are "very fine people." Trump said that, alongside the "white nationalists" (the term "The Atlantic Monthly" uses, not "neo-Nazis") there were "some very fine people."

He's a doof and what he said is further evidence that he's a doof, but that's no reason to mischaracterize him.

 

We mischaracterize everybody we don't like and always have.

 

Yep, he said that there were very fine people among the white nationalist sympathizers. There's a difference.
