Neo-Nazis and those who support supremacist actions and visions expressed satisfaction at Donald Trump's irresolute condemnation of the tragic events in the American city of Charlottesville on Saturday.
In refusing to explicitly condemn the recent far-right protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, Donald Trump implicitly gave his support to neo-Nazis, skinheads, and members of the Ku Klux Klan and other racist groups, according to The Independent newspaper.
Speaking about these events at one of his golf clubs, Trump said he condemns "violence from all sides" without specifically indicating the perpetrators and perpetrators of this violence, the white supremacist groups that incited Saturday's protests.
"We condemn in the hardest terms this demonstration of hatred, intolerance and violence from all origins and sides," the American leader wrote on his Twitter, repeating the phrase "from all sides."
Donald Trump, an unpopular and polarizing figure in the United States, declined to answer reporters' questions whether he would explicitly say that the far right was responsible for the violence and that the behavior of the neo-Nazis who participated in the march in Charlottesville was at least bad .
The comments of the US president, as well as his attempts not to respond, were greeted with joy by the far-right media and by those who assumed the role of spokesmen for neo-Nazis and supporters.
Trump "refused to even mention anything to do with us," a representative of a neo-Nazi social networking site said, adding that "when journalists were screaming at him about white nationalism, he simply left the room."
One of the comments on a website supremacist says, "Trump's comments were good, he did not attack us, he simply said that the nation needs to come together, nothing special against us."
A former Ku Klux Klan member, who also participated in the march before it became violent, said the protest was aimed at fulfilling the promises of Trump's election campaign.
"We are determined to regain control of our country, we will fulfill the promises of Donald Trump, that is what we believe, that is why we voted for Donald Trump because he said he will give us back our country," said the neo-Nazi Quoted by the portal Gizmodo.com.
Later, in response to criticism of Trump, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said the US president condemned all forms of violence, including "white supremacists, KKK, neo-Nazis and all extremist groups" .
On Saturday night (12), in the city of Charlottesville there were confrontations between neo-Nazis and their opponents who caused a death and left 34 people injured. After the confrontation, the state authorities of Virginia declared the state of emergency.
