I'm confused ?? Which is the real Trump??

Yesterday, he gave a speech about Charlottesville that some people thought he seemed as if it was a hostage reading a message. What the hell was that about ?!

Today, he came out and lectured everyone about the Confederacy, equating General Lee and George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, and said that both sides were violent.

What the hell !!

He is a liar, thief, traitor who is deeply in bed with Nazi white supremacists and Putin's crime syndicate. In other words a toxic swamp full of the worst of humanity.

The more he talked, the more my mind went numb.

I wonder how his fellow republicans are going to handle this latest defense of Nazis and white supremacists.
