President Barack Obama famously stated that Americans needed to “share the wealth” when we spoke about economic equality in America.
While President Trump does not subscribe to that fiscal mindset, the president recent doubling down on his spread the blame remark over the deadly attack by white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, has outraged both Democrats and Republicans who felt Trump needed to come out blindly swinging at the white supremacy movement.To his credit, the president did condemn white supremacy and racism as a whole, but stuck to his initial remark that both sides at the protest were to blame for the violence that occurred
Trump reasserted his belief that during the incident in Virginia, their was more than enough “blame on both sides,” adding that not everyone in at the protest was a white nationalists or neo-Nazi.
“You had some fine people. But you also had trouble makers…You had som’You see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and the baseball bats.”-President Donald Trump

Watch President Trump defiantly defend his position and take down the press, or as he calls them, “fake news.”
