TRUMP tweets: I condemned Nazis against my will to appease the media and they're still not happy.

Trump says blame for Charlottesville is "on many sides."

GOP elected officials publicly scold him.

He speaks today and blames media.

His own tweets are bad enough but it was a little confusing at first, to read the title of the OP.
