President Trump is quoted as saying ""You had some very bad people in that group. You also had some very fine people on both sides," he added. "
It is typical of President Trump, who has yet to master the art of thinking on his feet essential to any politician.
President Trump has learned that being seen to be even-handed is a good thing.
What he hasn't learned is that there are some situations in which being even-handed is simply not possible.
Seeing good in Nazi agitators is one of those occasions - because there is obviously no good to be seen, making the President's remark not only patently untrue, but also exhibiting his weakness in correctly assessing the truth of a situation before opening his mouth to speak about it.
The President is a naïve individual who has never learned to think before speaking because prior to being President, he has never needed to.
Time to think before you speak Mr President - you continue to look like an idiot when, as in this occasion, you fail so to do.
