I'm not sure he needed to disavow the alt right.

Alt right isn't racist by definition. But that's the media's game.

To be fair, no one seems very sure what the hell makes someone alt-right or not.

Yeah. I agree. That's a tough spot though. The media narrative would have been that Trump is a racist for not disavowing though.

They are just waiting for their opportunities to blast the President after being patient for 8 long years.

In this case the racist group called itself "alt-right" which is weird.

But yes, it is getting annoying to hear some reporters constantly press Trump to say "I disavow".

Alt left isn't racist either, right?
