In the spirit of Jake Tapper, when he asked Martin O'Malley what exactly he meant by "fight" when the former Maryland governor vowed to fight against the alt-right when Donald Trump became President (and did Tapper finally figure it out?), I'd like to ask Trump a few questions about what he meant by what he recently said about Charlottesville.
Both sides were responsible for violence? What exactly do you mean by "both sides" here, Trump? How were the counter-demonstrators responsible? Because they were simply there? Because they were asking to be attacked by merely demonstrating peacefully?
The alt-left? What exactly do you mean by "alt-left" here, Trump? An alternative left? That's a redundancy! The center of American politics has been moved so far toward conservatism that all of the left is alternative! That's why the most liberal Democrat isn't even a Democrat - he's Bernie Sanders!
You're upset that there are beautiful statues being removed because they honor Confederate leaders? What exactly do you mean by "beautiful statues" here, Trump? They're an embarrassment to this country by celebrating a would-be nation founded on the premise of preserving slavery. They are not beautiful landmarks. The Bonwit Teller store in Manhattan - now that was a beautiful landmark! Too bad you had to destroy it to build your ugly tower!
Some of the people who went to Charlottesville to out to protest the removal of its Robert E. Lee statue were "fine people?" What exactly do you mean by "fine people" here, Trump? They were Klansmen and neo-Nazis! They were white nationalists carrying torches on the University of Virginia campus - and I don't think they were trying out for an Olympic torch run! People like that are not fine people! They're not even human!
Steve Bannon is a good person? What exactly do you mean by "good person" here, Trump? He is a contemptible person who sowed all the seeds of hatred in this political climate! If he's such a good person, why did you fire him?
You actually said also, and I quote, "I own actually one of the largest wineries in the United States, it is in Charlottesville." What exactly do you mean by . . . any of that, Trump? No one cares about your damn winery! A young woman, Heather Heyer, is dead for demonstrating against you, and you're talking about . . . wine?
Trump, please resign the office of the Presidency effective immediately! And you know exactly what I mean by "immediately" here.
