Trump says what he said last week was "totally appropriate".

Trump says what he said last week has been analyzed by "many people" and was "totally appropriate" and the real problem was what other high-level politicians said about violence in Portland, etc. "That was the real problem," he tells reporters before turning and boarding AF1.

He will blame everything in the world but himself, at least publicly. That's his whole brand.

I turned off MSNBC when they showed his clip. I really don't need to listen to him and I already know what he is going to say. I don't need my blood pressure to go up.

He doesn't care what is fact or fiction as long as it keeps his brand/image. So publicly, he always say the same BS.

Not what he said before the crowd. Not saying I agree with him, but he's referring to his response, not the fact he caused it.
