Analysis | What Trump said with his ‘very fine people’ comments vs. what he meantwapo.st Trump and his supporters like to remove his comments from his broader effort to downplay the actions of white supremacists in 2017 in Charlottesville.

A guideline I use that has served me well is that if a lot of people who I know to be stupid are saying something a lot, it's probably wrong.

Yeah, but the flip side is that one is likely stupid in their eyes (they are, of course, wrong)

Oh wow, I thought he was claiming exoneration for “Russia, Russia, Russia”? So many misdeeds for which this one claims some superlative exoneration.

That is so much more analysis than the thing he said on video multiple times and doubled down on in 2019 on video and that was read into the Congressional Record deserves. Thank you for doing it. youtu.be/JmaZR8E12bs?...
