Just read the press conference transcript - I'm disgusted...

...at the constant cherry picking by the media and left-wing supporters that want to paint Trump as a pro-Nazi bigot that needs to be removed from office. I didn't vote for Trump. I have some issues with his leadership and politics. I will say he plays into their hands when he starts rambling in a presser.
But I read nothing that sounded like he was pro-Nazi or pro-alt right. I read statements that condemned the attack, condemned white supremacy and Nazism, and condemned leftists that were there to instigate violence. I read statements from him that called for the allowance of peaceful protests as some were there only to protest the removal of a statue.
He talked about infrastructure and jobs and how he believes that will help race relations.
Yet there are now calls for Britain to cancel Trump's visit because of his "naked sympathy for Nazis."
It's insane. Literally insane. Of course, I thought many were insane to accuse Obama of being a Muslim socialist that wanted to destroy America. But this is crazy too, and I actually worry about the direction of the country over the next decade.

I'm going to keep asking until I get an answer.
What is the left, liberals, BLM, Antifa end game? I just don't understand what they're trying to accomplish. Utopia is impossible. There are people that hate each other and there has ALWAYS been people that hate others and it will NEVER end.
Where does it stop? What do they want? What's end game?

True. Our media is an enemy of the People and the country.

I think marshal law and the removal of freedom of speech and assembly. It is unlikely it is antifa's or BLM's end game... but they are just pawns.

It wasn't going to matter what he said. The only possible way the left wasn't going to consider his speech to be racist would have been if he had poured gasoline over himself and set himself on fire before he read it and that wouldn't have been enough for some.
Trump could have had Air Force One fly to David Duke's house, borrowed a handgun from the Secret Service and shot Duke right between the eyes and half the media would still say Trump was supporting him.

The mainstream media is running the standard playbook that they've used for years to knock down opposition to the leftist agenda: character assassination.
So far they've made a couple of attempts to tie him to things like elitism (during the election) and Russia, and those have failed.
Now they have Nazism and white supremacy and they're not going to let go of that until the public again shows that it's not working. Which will happen.

Can you explain what you mean? Then what? Delegitimization and do what?

He spoke the truth. To the ballsy point that he said there were " good people" in both crowds He attempted to add a little moral nuance ( the simple truth) to the issue . But in interrupting Orthodox Progressivism and the Dem media narrative, he sent them into orbit. How dare you interrupt their narrative with truth . This will not stand!

It's slow-motion anarchy/nihilism. Their entire drive is to tear down the next lowest hanging bit of American traditional culture. Their worldview is that America (particularly white, Christian, "hetero" America) is what's wrong with the world and literally everything else is what's right.
Thus their inexplicable siding with minorities of all stripes, even those ideologically opposed to the balance of their agenda (Muslims), European socialism and third world tyrants - because all of those are either directly in opposition to traditional Americanism or at least stand in contrast to our relatively capitalistic, freedom, individual based system.
So, they are for collectivism, nanny state, restricting individual choices to those the collective deems "acceptable" - it isn't any more complicated than this.

Two downvotes. So there are some that disagree with you.....im assuming it's left leaning or left wing posters...
Yet, there are no responses to your theory.

The left flourishes in turmoil.
