So Donald Trump finally got around to putting a face with a name and called out racists and white supremacists for the weekend's events. It certainly didn't convince the prominent white supremacist, Richard Spencer, who called the statement kumbaya nonsense that only a dumb person would take seriously. I saw a FB meme that compared the enthusiasm of Trump's denouncement to that of a hostage forced to read a statement prepared by his captors. His heart clearly was not in it.
Check out this Business Insider article that talks about Richard Spencer and his view of the president. Although he does not consider Trump Alt Right, he does consider him the first true nationalist in his lifetime. Well, there you go.
And please watch this short, sobering video...earmarked especially for those (including Trump himself) who claim that Trump did not do anything to incite this kind of violence. I call bullshit on that claim.
And finally, here is a link to a Vox artricle...definitely worth reading. One of my favorite comments from the article quotes an "Alt Right" Trump supporter:
Even they don't believe his denouncements....

“Our Glorious Leader and ULTIMATE SAVIOR has gone full-wink-wink-wink to his most aggressive supporters.”
