I think people are probably overreacting to this specific event, given that it is in the context of the apparent plan to give amnesty to all of the DACA bloodsuckers.
This situation in itself is just weird, and he made a point to make it clear that he is signing this under duress, by adding the signing statement.
In sending the president a joint resolution condemning “racist violence” in Charlottesville, Congress gave President Trump a choice: sign the resolution and reject white supremacists, or veto it and align with the far right.
Trump chose a third option: Sign it — but with a signing statement attached.
The presidential signing statement has long been a controversial presidential tool that allows presidents to sign bills even as they attempt to reinterpret them. But Trump’s use of a signing statement on a non-binding sense-of-Congress resolution may break new ground, experts say.
“This is extraordinary,” said Christopher Kelley, a Miami University political scientist who has studied presidential signing statements. “It is one of the weirdest, rarest uses of a signing statement that I know of.“
The resolution, passed by voice vote this week by the House and Senate, urged the president to specifically “speak out against hate groups that espouse racism, extremism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, and white supremacy.” It was a response to Trump’s comments on a the “Unite the Right” march on Charlottesville last month in defense of Confederate statues, in which Trump appeared to cast equal blame for the violence on left-wing protesters.
And it specifically blamed “torch-bearing White nationalists, White supremacists, Klansmen, and neo-Nazis” for the violence that killed a protester and put two state troopers in harm’s way in a fatal helicopter crash.
Trump signed the resolution late Thursday. His signing statement said that Americans “oppose hatred, bigotry, and racism in all forms.”
“No matter the color of our skin or our ethnic heritage, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag, and we are all made by the same almighty God,” Trump said. “We are nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal.”
But just as his initial statements on Charlottesville blamed “all sides” for the violence, Trump’s signing statement didn’t condemn any specific group.
“It is ironic that this bill is in response to Trump’s tone-deaf comments about ‘all sides’ and then when he signs this statement, he repeats the very thing that sparked the controversy in the first place,” Kelley said.
Indeed, some members of Congress suggested that the signing statement — combined with Trump’s renewed remarks Thursday holding the left-wing “antifa” protesters equally responsible for the violence in Charlottesville — showed a lack of sincerity by the president.
I hope so…
Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., tweeted that Trump’s “refusal to hold white supremacists fully accountable for Charlottesville continues to be an insult to our nation.”
“Fully accountable” is simply a lie.
Everyone who watched any of that video knows it’s a lie, and Trump, following the event (and following his forced confession), said this very clearly – the media was lying about what happened.

It was on video: the police forced the Alt-Right rally attendees out of the park with a tear gas-toting riot squad, purposefully forced them into the location of the violent Antifa and BLM “protesters,” then stood down and let the Alt-Right get attacked by the Antifa and BLM terrorists.

That is what happened, it is on video happening, no one can deny it unless they are just lying.
The “NEO-NAZI WHITE SUPREMACISTS” hold exactly zero responsibility for the violence – the only violence they engaged in was self-defensive.
Even James Fields’ “DODGE THIS” act was due to provocation – we know that he was having his car attacked with bats before he crashed it.
Holding us responsible for the violence is a direct inversion of reality.
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the sponsor of the resolution, said he was pleased that the president signed it, but that “unfortunately he still equivocates when he speaks,” he tweeted.

“In what way did he equivocate?” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders responded.
The resolution expresses a sense of Congress and forms part of what’s known as “soft law” — a form of legislation that has no enforceable provisions. The Charlottesville resolution contains verbs like “condemns,” “recognizes” and “expresses” and “rejects.”
Congress could have adopted it by concurrent resolution, which wouldn’t have required the president’s signature. By passing a joint resolution, it forced him to take a stand.
“I do think that was the point: to force him either to repudiate his earlier statements by signing or to double down. The signing statement was an effort to avoid these two outcomes,” said Eric Posner, a University of Chicago law professor who has studied the use of soft law. “This is all a matter of political rhetoric and sending signals to supporters.”
So, yes.
He was bullied into this, and he still didn’t go along with it fully.
The signing statement was clearly was meant to send a signal to us.
And the whole thing is just “symbolic” anyway.
So, I mean, as far as this goes… whatever. I’m not particularly bothered by it.
What I am bothered by is the context that it exists in, which is the context of this DACA baby situation, as well as a seeming backing off on the wall.
So bottom line here: this resolution means nothing in itself, but in context, it is difficult.
He still hasn’t fully endorse DACA, so who knows what’s next – but what it looks like is that nothing good is next.
It looks like he’s going to cave, and his support will drop to almost nothing as his base abandons him and he gains no new supporters for having cucked. These people all believe he is literally Hitler, they aren’t going to start supporting him because he gained compassion for the DACA babies.
However
Let’s remain rational and look at things objectively.
This movement was never about Trump. He was just an important symbol of it. But we have other symbols.
I also don’t think that just because Trump disappoints us severely, that we should make out like “OH MY GOD IT WAS ALL A WASTE.”
What we have accomplished is incredible. And Trump was a huge part of that. We have woken up so many people, we have normalized white identity, we have changed the face of history and we are in a place that back in 2014 we couldn’t even have imagined being in.
So don’t get all mopey and emo and start listening to music with guitars or something stupid like that.
The future is coming and it still belongs to us.
