President Donald Trump blasted establishment and left-wing media on Tuesday afternoon for failing to report the facts on violent left-wing protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend.
In the main lobby of Trump Tower in New York City, the president grew combative after a throng of reporters started shouting questions about why he “waited” to specifically condemn neo-Nazis and white nationalists.
“There was no way of making a correct statement that early,” he said, defending his first statement on Saturday before the facts were in. “Unlike you and unlike the media, before I make a statement, I like to know the facts.”
As reporters grew more agitated, Trump continued defending his decision and condemning the media for their one sided reporting.
Trump again denounced racist elements among the protesters, including people supporting the KKK, neo-Nazis, and white nationalists, but clarified that he still believed that there was blame on both sides.
“I think there is blame on both sides,” Trump said. “I have no doubt about it and you don’t have any doubt about it either, and if you reported it accurately, you would say that.”

I hope you don't get out of the blogger business anytime soon Joe. It would seem we are going to need guys like you even more in the near future. Reporters and other people have no pride in their work anymore. Nobody seems to care what they say, report or do as long as they can get fame, money, acknowledgment, and don't get their feelings hurt in the process.
Nobody wants to work for less than $15 an hour, they don't want to see or hear anything that might offend their overly sensitive feelings. They want everyone to love one another, which isn't necessarily a bad thing until they will not realize there are bad people in the world who wish to do us harm, including them.
I am just saddened and bewildered by what has become of this country as a whole and I am not holding out much hope for this young generation. They are headed for disaster and do not even know it.
If I were a smart evil person, I would become their best friend and promise them whatever they wanted and say whatever they wanted to hear. Then when successful, I would turn on them, enslave and imprison them, even some of those who do my bidding and execute my every whim.
After all, that is the goal of whoever is trying to destroy this country.
