Trump was asked if this was terrorism.

He answered, “The driver of the car is a disgrace to himself, his family, and his country, and that is. You can call it terrorism. You can call it murder. You call it whatever you want. I would just call it as the fastest one to come up with a good verdict. That’s what I’d call it. Because there is a question, is it murder? Is it terrorism, and then you get into legal semantics. The driver of the car is a murderer, and what he did was a horrible, horrible, inexcusable thing.”
Trump made it clear that you can call it terrorism, but he isn’t calling it terrorism. The fact that a white supremacist used the same method of attack that Trump labeled terrorism when Muslims in Europe did it has no bearing on the current situation.
Donald Trump apparently believes that his white supporters don’t commit acts of terror.
The President refused to confirm what other members of his own administration have already stated. The attack in Charlottesville was an act of domestic terrorism.
Trump confirmed that his view of who commits terrorism is guided by skin color.
In less than 30 seconds, Donald Trump gave America a clear picture of his racist views.
