His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

You're changing history, you're changing culture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gathering of white nationalists over the weekend in Charlottesville resulted in multiple injuries and the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer, who was killed after a car rammed into a group of counterprotesters.

I want to know the facts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, in the past Trump has rarely shown restraint when responding to tragedies like the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, when he \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/742034549232766976?lang=en\">tweeted\u003c/a> \"Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism,\" and terrorist attacks in London earlier this year, when he \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/871328428963901440?lang=en\">criticized\u003c/a> the city's mayor's response. Back in 2011, he began peddling the false birther conspiracy against former President Barack Obama, at one point tweeting that \"An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud\" He has made plenty of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/27/511216062/president-trumps-tweets-annotated\">false\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/27/521441490/fact-check-trump-says-obamacare-is-exploding-its-not\">statements\u003c/a> just since entering the Oval Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the press conference, former KKK grand wizard David Duke \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/DrDavidDuke/status/897559892164304896\">thanked the president\u003c/a> on Twitter for his \"honesty and courage\" and for being willing to \"condemn\" Black Lives Matter and anti-fascists (whom Trump did not name).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/DrDavidDuke/status/897559892164304896\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump faced widespread criticism for what was seen as an insufficient statement about the events on Saturday. Seeming to bow to those critiques on Monday, he delivered a new statement and placed blame on white supremacist groups. But after his apparent walkback on Tuesday, some GOP leaders spoke out again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We must be clear. White supremacy is repulsive. This bigotry is counter to all this country stands for. There can be no moral ambiguity,\" House Speaker Paul Ryan \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SpeakerRyan/status/897579093184610305\">tweeted\u003c/a>, apparently in reference to Trump's remarks, although he didn't mention the president by name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't understand what's so hard about this.

Mark Warner, D-Va., said on CNN that he \"tried to give [Trump] the benefit of the doubt, for just saying the words yesterday. But he just couldn't move on.

Great to be back in New York with all of our friends and some great friends outside the building, I must tell you. I want to thank all of our distinguished guests who are with us today, including members of our cabinet, treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin, OMB director Mick Mulvaney and of course our transportation secretary, who is doing a fabulous, job Elaine Chao. Thank you all for doing a really incredible and creative job on what we're going to be discussing today, which is infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've just had a great set of briefings upstairs on our infrastructure agenda. My administration is working every day to deliver the world class infrastructure that our people deserve and frankly, that our country deserves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's why I just signed a new executive order to dramatically reform the nation's badly broken infrastructure permitting process. Just blocks away is the Empire State Building. It took 11 months to build the Empire State Building. But today it could take as long as a decade and much more than that. Many many stores where it takes 20 and 25 years just to get approvals to start construction of a fairly routine highway. Highway builders must get up to 16 different approvals involving nine different federal agencies, governed by 29 different statutes. One agency alone can stall a project for many many years and even decades. Not only does this cost economy billions of dollars but it also denies our citizens the safe and modern infrastructure they deserve. This overregulated permitting process is a massive self-inflicted wound on our country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's disgraceful. Denying our people much needed investments in their community and I just want to show you this, because it was just shown [to] me and I [said], I think I'm going to show it to the media, both real and fake media. by the way. This is what it takes to get something approved today. Elaine, you see that? So this is what it takes — permitting process flowchart. That's a flowchart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that can go out to 20 years, this shows about 10. But that could go out to about 20 years to get something approved. This is for a highway. I've seen a highway recently in a certain state, I won't mention its name, it's 17 years. I could have built it for four or five million dollars without the permitting process. It cost hundreds of millions of dollars but it took 17 years to get it approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And many many many many pages of environmental impact studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is what we will bring it down to. This is less than two years. This is going to happen quickly. That's what I'm signing today. This will be less than two years for a highway. So it's going to be quick. It's going to be a very streamlined process. And by the way, if it doesn't meet environmental safeguards, we're not going to approve it. Very simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're not going to approve it. So maybe this one will say ... let's throw the other one away. Would anybody like it from the media? Would anybody like that long beautiful chart? You can have it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So my executive order also requires agencies to work together efficiently by requiring one lead agency for each major infrastructure project. It also holds agencies accountable if they fail to streamline their review process. So each agency is accountable. We're going to get infrastructure built quickly, inexpensively, relatively speaking, and the permitting process will go very very quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No longer will we tolerate one job killing delay after another. No longer will we accept a broken system that benefits consultants and lobbyists at the expense of hardworking Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now I knew the process very well, probably better than anybody. I had to get permits for this building and many of the buildings I built — all of the buildings I built in Manhattan and many other places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I will tell you that the consultants are rich people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They go around making it very difficult. They lobby Congress, they lobby state governments, city governments, to make it very difficult so that you have to hire consultants and that you have to take years and pay them a fortune.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So we're streamlining the process had we won't be having so much of that anymore. No longer will we allow the infrastructure of our magnificent country to crumble and decay. While protecting the environment, we will build gleaming new roads, bridges, railways, waterways, tunnels and highways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will rebuild our country with American workers, American iron, American aluminum, American steel. We will create millions of new jobs and make millions of American dreams come true. Our infrastructure will again be the best in the world. We used to have the greatest infrastructure anywhere in the world. And today we're like a third world country. We are literally like a third world country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our infrastructure will again be the best and we will restore the pride in our communities, our nation, and all over the United States we'll be proud again. So I want to thank everybody for being here. God bless you. God bless the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you have any questions, we have — Mick, you could come up here please. Come on up. Mick Mulvaney. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Why do you think these CEOs are leaving your manufacturing council?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Because they're not taking their job seriously as it pertains to this country. We want jobs, manufacturing in this country. If you look at some of those people that you're talking about, they're outside of the country, they're having a lot of their product made outside. If you look at Merck as an example, take a look where, excuse me. Excuse me. Take a look at where their product is made. It's made outside of our country. We want products made in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now I have to tell you, some of the folks that will leave, they're leaving out of embarrassment because they make their products outside. And I've been lecturing them, including the gentleman that you're referring to, about you have to bring it back to this country. You can't do it necessarily in Ireland and all of these other places, you have to bring this work back to this country. That's what I want. I want manufacturing to be back into the United States so that American workers can benefit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Why did you wait so long to blast Neo Nazis?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I didn't wait long. I didn't wait long. I didn't wait long. I wanted to make sure, unlike most politicians, that what I said was correct. Not make a quick statement. The statement I made on Saturday, the first statement, was a fine statement. But you don't make statements that direct unless you know the fact. It takes a little while to get the facts. You still don't know the facts. And it's a very, very important process to me. And it's a very important statement. So I don't want to go quickly and just make a statement for the sake of making a political statement. I want to know the facts —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you go back to my ... in fact, I brought it. I brought it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I said on, remember this, on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms, this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence. It has no place in America. And then I went on from there. Now here's the thing --\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Excuse me. Excuse me. Take it nice and easy. Here's the thing. When I make a statement, I like to be correct. I want the facts. This event just happened. In fact, a lot of the event didn't even happen yet, as we were speaking. This event just happened. Before I make a statement, I need the facts. So I don't want to rush into a statement. So making the statement when I made it was excellent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the young woman, who I hear is a fantastic young woman, and it was on NBC, her mother wrote me and said through, I guess Twitter, social media, the nicest things. And I very much appreciated that. I hear she was a fine, really actually an incredible young woman. But her mother on Twitter thanked me for what I said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And honestly, if the press were not fake, and if it was honest, the press would have said what I said was very nice. But unlike you —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unlike you and unlike the media, before I make a statement, I like to know the facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: The CEO of Wal Mart said you missed a critical opportunity to help bring the country together. Did you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Not at all. I think the country, look, you take a look, I've created over a million jobs since I'm president, the country is booming, the stock market is setting records, we have the highest employment numbers we've ever had in the history of our country, we're doing record business. We have the highest levels of enthusiasm. So the head of Wal Mart — who I know, who is very nice guy – was making a political statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>... I want to make sure, when I make a statement, that the statement is correct. And there was no way, there was no way of making a correct statement that early. I had to see the facts, unlike a lot of REPORTERs. Unlike a lot of REPORTERs -\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn't know David Duke was there. I wanted to see the facts. And the facts as they started coming out were very well stated. In fact, everybody said, his statement was beautiful, if he would have made it sooner, that would have been good. I couldn't have made it sooner because I didn't know all of the facts. Frankly, people still don't know all of the facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Excuse me. Excuse me. It was very important to me to get the facts out and correctly. Because if I would have made a fast statement, and the first statement was made without knowing much other than what we were seeing. The second statement was made after, with knowledge, with great knowledge. There's still things. Excuse me. There's still things that people don't know. I want to make a statement with knowledge. I wanted to know the states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Was this terrorism?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: The driver of the car is a disgrace to himself, his family and this country. And that is, you can call it terrorism, you can call it murder, you can 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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Do you still have confidence in Steve Bannon?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Look, look. I like Mr. Bannon. He's a friend of mine. But, Mr. Bannon came on very late, you know that. I went through 17 senators, governors and I won all the primaries. Mr. Bannon came on very much later than that. And I like him, he's a good man, he is not a racist, I can tell you that. He's a good person. He actually gets a very unfair press in that regard. But we'll see what happens with Mr. Bannon but he's a good person and I think the press treats him frankly very unfairly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<Reporter and Trump crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Senator McCain has called on you to defend your national security advisor H. R. McMaster against some of these attacks —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I've already done that. I did it the last time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: And he called on it again —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Senator McCain? Senator McCain? You mean the one who voted against Obamacare? Who is Senator? You mean Senator McCain who voted against us getting good health care?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Senator McCain said that the alt right is behind these attacks and he linked that same group to those who perpetrated the attack in Charlottesville —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, I don't know. I can't tell you. I'm sure Senator McCain must know what he's talking about. But when you say the alt right, define alt right to me. You define it. No you define it for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Sen. McCain defined them as —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Ok what about the alt left that came charging — excuse me. What about the alt left that came charging at the, as you say, the alt right? Do they have any semblance of guilt? Let me ask you this, what about the fact they came charging, that they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do. As far as I'm concerned, that was a horrible, horrible day. Wait a minute, I'm not finished. I'm not finished, fake news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was a horrible day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I will tell you something. I watched those very closely. Much more closely than you people watched it. And you have, you had a group on one side that was bad. And you had a group on the other side that was also very violent. And nobody wants to say that. But I'll say it right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You had a group, you had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit and they were very, very violent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Do you think that what you call the alt left is the same as neo Nazis?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: All of those people — excuse me. I've condemned neo Nazis. I've condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists, by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue, Robert E. Lee. So. Excuse me. And you take a look at some of the groups, and you see and you'd know it if you were honest REPORTERs, which in many cases you're not, but many of those people were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, this week it's Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson's coming down. I wonder, is it George Washington next week and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know, you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they were there to protest, excuse me, you take a look the night before, they were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. Infrastructure question, go ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Should statues of Robert E. Lee stay up?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I would say that's up to a local town, community or the federal government depending on where it is located.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: ... race relations in America and do you think things have gotten worse or better since you took office?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I think they've gotten better or the same. Look, they've been frayed for a long time. And you can ask President Obama about that because he'd make speeches about it. But I believe that the fact that I brought in, it will be soon, millions of jobs, you see where companies are moving back into our country, I think that's going to have a tremendous positive impact on race relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have companies coming back into our country. We have two car companies that just announced, we have FoxConn in Wisconsin just announced. We have many companies, I say pouring back into the country. I think that's going to have a huge, positive impact on race relations. You know why? It's jobs. What people want now, they want jobs. They want great jobs with good pay. And when they have that, you watch how race relations will be. And I'll tell you, we're spending a lot of money on the inner cities. We're fixing the inner cities. We're doing far more than anybody's done with respect to the inner cities. It's a priority for me. And it's very important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Are you putting what you're calling the alt left and white supremacists on the same moral plane?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I'm not putting anybody on a moral plane. What I'm saying is this. You had a group on one side and you had a group on the other and they came at each other with clubs and it was viscous and it was horrible and it was a horrible thing to watch. But there is another side. There was a group on this side, you can call them the left, you've just called them the left, that came, violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that's the way it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: You said there was hatred and violence on both sides —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, I do think there's blame, yes, I think there's blame on both sides. You look at both sides. I think there's blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it. And you don't have any doubt about it either. And, and if you reported it accurately, you would say it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Excuse me. You had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group, excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park, from Robert E. Lee to another name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Washington was a slave-owner. Was George Washington a slave-owner? So will George Washington now lose his status — are we going to take down — excuse me. Are we going to take down statues of George Washington? How 'bout Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him? OK, good. Are we going to take down the statue because he was a major slave-owner? Now we're going to take down his statue. So you know what, it's fine. You're changing history, you're changing culture. And you had people, and I'm not talking about the neo Nazis or the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo Nazis and white nationalists, OK? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people but you also had troublemakers and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats. You got a lot of bad people in the other group, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: You said the press has treated white nationalists unfairly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: No. There were people in that rally, and I looked the night before, if you look, they were people protesting very quietly the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. I'm sure in that group there were some bad ones. The following day it looked like they had some rough, bad people. Neo Nazis, white nationalists, whatever you want to call them. But you had a lot of people in that group that were there to innocently protest and very legally protest. Because I don't know if you know, they had a permit. The other group didn't have a permit. So I only tell you this, there are two sides to a story. I thought what took place was a horrible moment for our country. A horrible moment. But there are two sides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Does anybody have a final —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: What makes you think you can get an infrastructure bill, you didn't get health care –\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, you know, I'll tell you. We came very close with health care. Unfortunately, John McCain decided to vote against it at the last minute. You'll have to ask John McCain why he did that. But we came very close to health care. We will end up getting health care but we'll get the infrastructure and actually infrastructure is something that I think will have bipartisan support on. I actually think Democrats will go along with the infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Have you spoken to the family of the victim of the car attack?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: No, I'll be reaching out. I'll be reaching out. I was very, I thought that the statement put out — the mother's statement — I thought was a beautiful statement. I will tell you, it was something that I really appreciated. I thought it was terrific and really under the kind of stress that she's under and the heartache that she's under, I thought putting out that statement to me was really something I won't forget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank you all very much. Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<side conversation with reporters>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Will you go to Charlottesville?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I own a house in Charlottesville. Does anyone know I own a house in Charlottesville?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Where is it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Oh boy. It's in Charlottesville, you'll see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Is it near the winery?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: It is the winery. I mean, I know a lot about Charlottesville. Charlottesville is a great place. It's been very badly hurt over the last couple of days. I own actually one of the largest wineries in the United States. It's in Charlottesville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: What do you think needs to be done to overcome the racial divide?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, I really think jobs going to have a big impact. I think if we continue to create jobs — over a million, substantially more than a million — and you see just the other day the car companies coming in, I think if we continue to create jobs at levels that I'm creating jobs, I think that's going to have a tremendous impact, a positive impact, on race relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Because the people are going to be working, they're going to be making a lot of money, much more money than they ever thought possible. And the other thing, very important, I believe wages will start going up. They haven't gone up for a long time. I believe wages now, because the economy is doing so well with respect to employment and unemployment, I believe wages will start to go up. I think that will have a tremendously positive impact on race relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Great to be back in New York with all of our friends and some great friends outside the building, I must tell you. I want to thank all of our distinguished guests who are with us today, including members of our cabinet, treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin, OMB director Mick Mulvaney and of course our transportation secretary, who is doing a fabulous, job Elaine Chao. Thank you all for doing a really incredible and creative job on what we're going to be discussing today, which is infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've just had a great set of briefings upstairs on our infrastructure agenda. My administration is working every day to deliver the world class infrastructure that our people deserve and frankly, that our country deserves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's why I just signed a new executive order to dramatically reform the nation's badly broken infrastructure permitting process. Just blocks away is the Empire State Building. It took 11 months to build the Empire State Building. But today it could take as long as a decade and much more than that. Many many stores where it takes 20 and 25 years just to get approvals to start construction of a fairly routine highway. Highway builders must get up to 16 different approvals involving nine different federal agencies, governed by 29 different statutes. One agency alone can stall a project for many many years and even decades. Not only does this cost economy billions of dollars but it also denies our citizens the safe and modern infrastructure they deserve. This overregulated permitting process is a massive self-inflicted wound on our country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's disgraceful. Denying our people much needed investments in their community and I just want to show you this, because it was just shown [to] me and I [said], I think I'm going to show it to the media, both real and fake media. by the way. This is what it takes to get something approved today. Elaine, you see that? So this is what it takes — permitting process flowchart. That's a flowchart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that can go out to 20 years, this shows about 10. But that could go out to about 20 years to get something approved. This is for a highway. I've seen a highway recently in a certain state, I won't mention its name, it's 17 years. I could have built it for four or five million dollars without the permitting process. It cost hundreds of millions of dollars but it took 17 years to get it approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And many many many many pages of environmental impact studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is what we will bring it down to. This is less than two years. This is going to happen quickly. That's what I'm signing today. This will be less than two years for a highway. So it's going to be quick. It's going to be a very streamlined process. And by the way, if it doesn't meet environmental safeguards, we're not going to approve it. Very simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're not going to approve it. So maybe this one will say ... let's throw the other one away. Would anybody like it from the media? Would anybody like that long beautiful chart? You can have it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So my executive order also requires agencies to work together efficiently by requiring one lead agency for each major infrastructure project. It also holds agencies accountable if they fail to streamline their review process. So each agency is accountable. We're going to get infrastructure built quickly, inexpensively, relatively speaking, and the permitting process will go very very quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No longer will we tolerate one job killing delay after another. No longer will we accept a broken system that benefits consultants and lobbyists at the expense of hardworking Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now I knew the process very well, probably better than anybody. I had to get permits for this building and many of the buildings I built — all of the buildings I built in Manhattan and many other places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I will tell you that the consultants are rich people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They go around making it very difficult. They lobby Congress, they lobby state governments, city governments, to make it very difficult so that you have to hire consultants and that you have to take years and pay them a fortune.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So we're streamlining the process had we won't be having so much of that anymore. No longer will we allow the infrastructure of our magnificent country to crumble and decay. While protecting the environment, we will build gleaming new roads, bridges, railways, waterways, tunnels and highways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will rebuild our country with American workers, American iron, American aluminum, American steel. We will create millions of new jobs and make millions of American dreams come true. Our infrastructure will again be the best in the world. We used to have the greatest infrastructure anywhere in the world. And today we're like a third world country. We are literally like a third world country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our infrastructure will again be the best and we will restore the pride in our communities, our nation, and all over the United States we'll be proud again. So I want to thank everybody for being here. God bless you. God bless the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you have any questions, we have — Mick, you could come up here please. Come on up. Mick Mulvaney. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Why do you think these CEOs are leaving your manufacturing council?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Because they're not taking their job seriously as it pertains to this country. We want jobs, manufacturing in this country. If you look at some of those people that you're talking about, they're outside of the country, they're having a lot of their product made outside. If you look at Merck as an example, take a look where, excuse me. Excuse me. Take a look at where their product is made. It's made outside of our country. We want products made in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now I have to tell you, some of the folks that will leave, they're leaving out of embarrassment because they make their products outside. And I've been lecturing them, including the gentleman that you're referring to, about you have to bring it back to this country. You can't do it necessarily in Ireland and all of these other places, you have to bring this work back to this country. That's what I want. I want manufacturing to be back into the United States so that American workers can benefit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Why did you wait so long to blast Neo Nazis?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I didn't wait long. I didn't wait long. I didn't wait long. I wanted to make sure, unlike most politicians, that what I said was correct. Not make a quick statement. The statement I made on Saturday, the first statement, was a fine statement. But you don't make statements that direct unless you know the fact. It takes a little while to get the facts. You still don't know the facts. And it's a very, very important process to me. And it's a very important statement. So I don't want to go quickly and just make a statement for the sake of making a political statement. I want to know the facts —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you go back to my ... in fact, I brought it. I brought it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I said on, remember this, on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms, this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence. It has no place in America. And then I went on from there. Now here's the thing --\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Excuse me. Excuse me. Take it nice and easy. Here's the thing. When I make a statement, I like to be correct. I want the facts. This event just happened. In fact, a lot of the event didn't even happen yet, as we were speaking. This event just happened. Before I make a statement, I need the facts. So I don't want to rush into a statement. So making the statement when I made it was excellent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the young woman, who I hear is a fantastic young woman, and it was on NBC, her mother wrote me and said through, I guess Twitter, social media, the nicest things. And I very much appreciated that. I hear she was a fine, really actually an incredible young woman. But her mother on Twitter thanked me for what I said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And honestly, if the press were not fake, and if it was honest, the press would have said what I said was very nice. But unlike you —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unlike you and unlike the media, before I make a statement, I like to know the facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: The CEO of Wal Mart said you missed a critical opportunity to help bring the country together. Did you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Not at all. I think the country, look, you take a look, I've created over a million jobs since I'm president, the country is booming, the stock market is setting records, we have the highest employment numbers we've ever had in the history of our country, we're doing record business. We have the highest levels of enthusiasm. So the head of Wal Mart — who I know, who is very nice guy – was making a political statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>... I want to make sure, when I make a statement, that the statement is correct. And there was no way, there was no way of making a correct statement that early. I had to see the facts, unlike a lot of REPORTERs. Unlike a lot of REPORTERs -\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn't know David Duke was there. I wanted to see the facts. And the facts as they started coming out were very well stated. In fact, everybody said, his statement was beautiful, if he would have made it sooner, that would have been good. I couldn't have made it sooner because I didn't know all of the facts. Frankly, people still don't know all of the facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Excuse me. Excuse me. It was very important to me to get the facts out and correctly. Because if I would have made a fast statement, and the first statement was made without knowing much other than what we were seeing. The second statement was made after, with knowledge, with great knowledge. There's still things. Excuse me. There's still things that people don't know. I want to make a statement with knowledge. I wanted to know the states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Was this terrorism?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: The driver of the car is a disgrace to himself, his family and this country. And that is, you can call it terrorism, you can call it murder, you can 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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Do you still have confidence in Steve Bannon?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Look, look. I like Mr. Bannon. He's a friend of mine. But, Mr. Bannon came on very late, you know that. I went through 17 senators, governors and I won all the primaries. Mr. Bannon came on very much later than that. And I like him, he's a good man, he is not a racist, I can tell you that. He's a good person. He actually gets a very unfair press in that regard. But we'll see what happens with Mr. Bannon but he's a good person and I think the press treats him frankly very unfairly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<Reporter and Trump crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Senator McCain has called on you to defend your national security advisor H. R. McMaster against some of these attacks —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I've already done that. I did it the last time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: And he called on it again —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Senator McCain? Senator McCain? You mean the one who voted against Obamacare? Who is Senator? You mean Senator McCain who voted against us getting good health care?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Senator McCain said that the alt right is behind these attacks and he linked that same group to those who perpetrated the attack in Charlottesville —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, I don't know. I can't tell you. I'm sure Senator McCain must know what he's talking about. But when you say the alt right, define alt right to me. You define it. No you define it for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Sen. McCain defined them as —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Ok what about the alt left that came charging — excuse me. What about the alt left that came charging at the, as you say, the alt right? Do they have any semblance of guilt? Let me ask you this, what about the fact they came charging, that they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do. As far as I'm concerned, that was a horrible, horrible day. Wait a minute, I'm not finished. I'm not finished, fake news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was a horrible day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I will tell you something. I watched those very closely. Much more closely than you people watched it. And you have, you had a group on one side that was bad. And you had a group on the other side that was also very violent. And nobody wants to say that. But I'll say it right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You had a group, you had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit and they were very, very violent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Do you think that what you call the alt left is the same as neo Nazis?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: All of those people — excuse me. I've condemned neo Nazis. I've condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists, by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue, Robert E. Lee. So. Excuse me. And you take a look at some of the groups, and you see and you'd know it if you were honest REPORTERs, which in many cases you're not, but many of those people were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, this week it's Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson's coming down. I wonder, is it George Washington next week and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know, you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they were there to protest, excuse me, you take a look the night before, they were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. Infrastructure question, go ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Should statues of Robert E. Lee stay up?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I would say that's up to a local town, community or the federal government depending on where it is located.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: ... race relations in America and do you think things have gotten worse or better since you took office?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I think they've gotten better or the same. Look, they've been frayed for a long time. And you can ask President Obama about that because he'd make speeches about it. But I believe that the fact that I brought in, it will be soon, millions of jobs, you see where companies are moving back into our country, I think that's going to have a tremendous positive impact on race relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have companies coming back into our country. We have two car companies that just announced, we have FoxConn in Wisconsin just announced. We have many companies, I say pouring back into the country. I think that's going to have a huge, positive impact on race relations. You know why? It's jobs. What people want now, they want jobs. They want great jobs with good pay. And when they have that, you watch how race relations will be. And I'll tell you, we're spending a lot of money on the inner cities. We're fixing the inner cities. We're doing far more than anybody's done with respect to the inner cities. It's a priority for me. And it's very important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Are you putting what you're calling the alt left and white supremacists on the same moral plane?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I'm not putting anybody on a moral plane. What I'm saying is this. You had a group on one side and you had a group on the other and they came at each other with clubs and it was viscous and it was horrible and it was a horrible thing to watch. But there is another side. There was a group on this side, you can call them the left, you've just called them the left, that came, violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that's the way it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: You said there was hatred and violence on both sides —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, I do think there's blame, yes, I think there's blame on both sides. You look at both sides. I think there's blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it. And you don't have any doubt about it either. And, and if you reported it accurately, you would say it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Excuse me. You had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group, excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park, from Robert E. Lee to another name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Washington was a slave-owner. Was George Washington a slave-owner? So will George Washington now lose his status — are we going to take down — excuse me. Are we going to take down statues of George Washington? How 'bout Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him? OK, good. Are we going to take down the statue because he was a major slave-owner? Now we're going to take down his statue. So you know what, it's fine. You're changing history, you're changing culture. And you had people, and I'm not talking about the neo Nazis or the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo Nazis and white nationalists, OK? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people but you also had troublemakers and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats. You got a lot of bad people in the other group, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: You said the press has treated white nationalists unfairly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: No. There were people in that rally, and I looked the night before, if you look, they were people protesting very quietly the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. I'm sure in that group there were some bad ones. The following day it looked like they had some rough, bad people. Neo Nazis, white nationalists, whatever you want to call them. But you had a lot of people in that group that were there to innocently protest and very legally protest. Because I don't know if you know, they had a permit. The other group didn't have a permit. So I only tell you this, there are two sides to a story. I thought what took place was a horrible moment for our country. A horrible moment. But there are two sides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Does anybody have a final —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: What makes you think you can get an infrastructure bill, you didn't get health care –\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, you know, I'll tell you. We came very close with health care. Unfortunately, John McCain decided to vote against it at the last minute. You'll have to ask John McCain why he did that. But we came very close to health care. We will end up getting health care but we'll get the infrastructure and actually infrastructure is something that I think will have bipartisan support on. I actually think Democrats will go along with the infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Have you spoken to the family of the victim of the car attack?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: No, I'll be reaching out. I'll be reaching out. I was very, I thought that the statement put out — the mother's statement — I thought was a beautiful statement. I will tell you, it was something that I really appreciated. I thought it was terrific and really under the kind of stress that she's under and the heartache that she's under, I thought putting out that statement to me was really something I won't forget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank you all very much. Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<side conversation with reporters>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Will you go to Charlottesville?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I own a house in Charlottesville. Does anyone know I own a house in Charlottesville?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Where is it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Oh boy. It's in Charlottesville, you'll see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Is it near the winery?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: It is the winery. I mean, I know a lot about Charlottesville. Charlottesville is a great place. It's been very badly hurt over the last couple of days. I own actually one of the largest wineries in the United States. It's in Charlottesville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: What do you think needs to be done to overcome the racial divide?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, I really think jobs going to have a big impact. I think if we continue to create jobs — over a million, substantially more than a million — and you see just the other day the car companies coming in, I think if we continue to create jobs at levels that I'm creating jobs, I think that's going to have a tremendous impact, a positive impact, on race relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Because the people are going to be working, they're going to be making a lot of money, much more money than they ever thought possible. And the other thing, very important, I believe wages will start going up. They haven't gone up for a long time. I believe wages now, because the economy is doing so well with respect to employment and unemployment, I believe wages will start to go up. I think that will have a tremendously positive impact on race relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 7:20 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost 48 hours after violence engulfed Charlottesville, Va., President Trump called out white nationalist groups by name. Trump’s remarks on Monday followed criticism that his initial statement about the clash of protesters did not condemn racist groups specifically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans,” the president said from the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump began his remarks talking about his economic accomplishments and plans for trade negotiations before turning his attention to the events over the weekend in Virginia. After the Charlottesville City Council had voted earlier this year to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from one of its parks, white nationalist groups — including white supremacists, the alt-right, the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis — descended on the city for a “Unite the Right” rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday night, they marched on the normally sleepy college town, home to the University of Virginia, carrying torches. On Saturday conditions turned deadly as hundreds of the white nationalists, some carrying Confederate flags and shields and others in militia-like gear, clashed with counterprotesters in the city streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”h5HspAIoHvxJaB6J1P27SUUTUuLfii9Z”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point a silver Dodge Challenger, allegedly driven by 20-year-old James Alex Fields Jr. of Ohio, rammed into a street filled with counterprotesters. Heather Heyer, 32, was killed, and at least 19 others were injured. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/08/14/543414086/charlottesville-suspect-to-remain-in-jail-after-first-court-appearance\">Fields was charged\u003c/a> with one count of second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and one count of hit and run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump expressed sympathy to Heyer’s family as well as to the families of Virginia State Troopers Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Berke M.M. Bates, who died when their helicopter that was patrolling Saturday’s event crashed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These three fallen Americans embody the goodness and decency of our nation,” Trump said. “In times such as these, America has always shown its true character, responding to hate with love, division with unity, and violence with an unwavering resolve for justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump spoke after meeting with newly installed FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the White House. He said that the Department of Justice had opened a civil rights investigation into the car attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To anyone who acted criminally at this weekend’s racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered,” the president said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sessions \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trumps-attorney-general-evil-charlottesville-car-ramming-fits/story?id=49202191\">told ABC News\u003c/a> on Monday morning that the car crash that had killed Heyer “does meet the definition of domestic terrorism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can be sure we will charge and advance the investigation towards the most serious charges that can be brought, because this is unequivocally an unacceptable, evil attack,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”6CPD8U2oj4Pt7QqTXE1uSHHk3GCVG0FE”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s condemnations may be too little, too late for those who criticized Trump’s initial remarks — and Trump may have missed a critical moment to be the nation’s healer in chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., the Senate’s only black Republican, said in a statement later Monday that while Trump’s remarks earlier that day were “clear and specific,” those words “would have been more impactful on Saturday.” In an op-ed in \u003cem>USA Today\u003c/em>, which did not mention Trump, \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/08/14/fight-hatred-fear-domestic-terror-with-american-ideals-tim-scott-column/564755001/\">Scott wrote\u003c/a>, “Our response to the events in Charlottesville, Va., should mirror our response to the murders at \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/12/07/witness-charleston-shooting-felicia-sanders/95121812/\">Mother Emanuel Church\u003c/a> in Charleston. Condemnation of racism. Swift justice for a terrorist. And unity for the community that grieves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SenatorTimScott/status/897200925571469312\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, Trump claimed that the clashes were a result of “hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides.” Top Republicans, among others, quickly criticized him for not calling out by name the white supremacists, alt-right, KKK and neo-Nazi groups that began the protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mr. President — we must call evil by its name. These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism,” Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., who heads up the GOP Senate campaign committee, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenCoryGardner/status/896472477844385792\">tweeted\u003c/a> on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SenCoryGardner/status/896472477844385792\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House put out an unsigned statement on Sunday morning, saying that, “The President said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry and hatred and of course that includes white Supremacists, KKK, neo-nazi and all extremist groups. He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice President Pence had gone further than the president in his own comments, telling reporters Sunday night while traveling in Colombia, “We have no tolerance for hate and violence from white supremacists, neo-Nazis or the KKK. These dangerous fringe groups have no place in American public life and in the American debate, and we condemn them in the strongest possible terms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>been blamed for being slow to criticize white supremacist groups in the past — even as he regularly attacks other targets on Twitter. During the 2016 campaign, Trump came under fire for \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/03/politics/donald-trump-disavows-david-duke-kkk/index.html\">not immediately disavowing\u003c/a> the endorsement of David Duke, a former KKK grand wizard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”GErqhhVGf0tdTOtnHMoVic98fciKFMmw”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke, who attended the march in Virginia, said on Saturday that participants’ aim was “to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in. That’s why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he’s going to take our country back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke later \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/DrDavidDuke/status/896431991821926401\">responded to one of the president’s tweets\u003c/a> condemning the violence by saying, “I would recommend you take a good look in the mirror & remember it was White Americans who put you in the presidency, not radical leftists.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKi2AOPBavU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read Trump’s full remarks, delivered Monday afternoon at the White House: \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank you. I’m in Washington today to meet with my economic team about trade policy and major tax cuts and reform. We are renegotiating trade deals and making them good for the American worker and it’s about time. Our economy is now strong. The stock market continues to hit record highs, unemployment is at 16 year low and businesses are more optimistic than ever before. Companies are moving back to the United States and bringing many thousands of jobs with them. We have already created over one million jobs since I took office. We will be discussing economic issues in greater detail later this afternoon but based on the events that took place over the weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, I would like to provide the nation with an update on the ongoing federal response to the horrific attack and violence that was witnessed by everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I just met with FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation into the deadly car attack that killed one innocent American and wounded 20 others. To anyone who acted criminally in this weekend’s racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered. As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms, this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence. It has no place in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as I have said many times before, no matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws. We all salute the same great flag. And we are all made by the same almighty God. We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation of hated, bigotry and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans. We are a nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our creator. We are equal under the law. And we are equal under our constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two days ago, a young American woman, Heather Heyer, was tragically killed. Her death fills us with grief and we send her family our thoughts, our prayers and our love. We also mourn the two Virginia state troopers who died in service to their community, their commonwealth and their country. Troopers Jay Cullen and Berke Bates exemplify the very best of America and our hearts go out to their families, their friends and every member of American law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These three fallen Americans embody the goodness and decency of our nation. In times such as these, America has always shown its true character, responding to hate with love, division with unity, and violence with an unwavering resolve for justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a candidate, I promised to restore law and order to our country and our federal law enforcement agencies are following through on that pledge. We will spare no resource in fighting so that every American child can grow up free from violence and fear. We will defend and protect the sacred rights of all Americans and we will work together so that every citizen in this blessed land is free to follow their dreams in their hearts and to express the love and joy in their souls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank you, god bless you and god bless America. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Trump’s remarks on Monday followed criticism that his initial statement about the clash of protesters did not condemn racist groups specifically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans,” the president said from the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump began his remarks talking about his economic accomplishments and plans for trade negotiations before turning his attention to the events over the weekend in Virginia. After the Charlottesville City Council had voted earlier this year to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from one of its parks, white nationalist groups — including white supremacists, the alt-right, the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis — descended on the city for a “Unite the Right” rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday night, they marched on the normally sleepy college town, home to the University of Virginia, carrying torches. On Saturday conditions turned deadly as hundreds of the white nationalists, some carrying Confederate flags and shields and others in militia-like gear, clashed with counterprotesters in the city streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Heather Heyer, 32, was killed, and at least 19 others were injured. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/08/14/543414086/charlottesville-suspect-to-remain-in-jail-after-first-court-appearance\">Fields was charged\u003c/a> with one count of second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and one count of hit and run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump expressed sympathy to Heyer’s family as well as to the families of Virginia State Troopers Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Berke M.M. Bates, who died when their helicopter that was patrolling Saturday’s event crashed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These three fallen Americans embody the goodness and decency of our nation,” Trump said. “In times such as these, America has always shown its true character, responding to hate with love, division with unity, and violence with an unwavering resolve for justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump spoke after meeting with newly installed FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the White House.

His mother worked as a teacher there. Like so many other California kids of his age, he listened to bands like Metallica and Soundgarden, watched “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” and dreamed of being a pro skater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, as he aged, those dreams morphed into aspirations of a military career — his father had served in the Marine Corps. Damigo said his desire to serve became more pronounced after the Sept. 11 attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I pretty much watched live as the second tower was hit,” he said. “That was a pretty big thing to watch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘I became disillusioned, after the Iraq War, with mainstream narratives. … Most of [David Duke’s] arguments I just couldn’t debunk, no matter how hard I tried.’\u003ccite>Nathan Damigo, Founder of Identity Evropa\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Damigo also credited his socially conservative family, who he said raised him to have pride in the country, for influencing his decision to enlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He would serve two deployments in Iraq in the infantry. It was on these tours that Damigo’s views on race began to be shaped by the violent conflict he saw on a daily basis — killings, murders, explosions and misery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I saw them in Iraq, which is also a multireligious, multicultural society,” Damigo said. “And I generally saw it growing up. And it was certainly a more extreme form, but it definitely, I think, it did make me think a bit more about race and population dynamics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The violence that began to shape Damigo’s thinking on race also killed two of his close friends in combat. According to court documents obtained by El Tecolote and KQED, Damigo began suffering acute symptoms of PTSD as a result of his exposure to the Iraq War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo blames that trauma for his decision to rob a San Diego cab driver at gunpoint after his return from Iraq.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a psychological evaluation conducted for the court as part of the criminal case, Damigo said he attacked the cab driver, Changiz Ezzatyar, because he mistook him for an Iraqi. Damigo said the decision came after a night of solitary heavy drinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Psychologist Heidi Kraft conducted another evaluation of Damigo after the assault. In her clinical notes, which were included in court documents from his trial, she wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘We don’t want to be seen as overly threatening.’\u003ccite>Nathan Damigo,\u003cbr>\nFounder of Identity Evropa\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“While there is no evidence that the patient experienced psychiatric dissociation during the robbery, his PTSD symptoms were so disabling, and his use of alcohol to self-medicate was so heavy, it appears that the combination of these factors led to a serious and uncharacteristic breakdown in both insight and judgment the night of his arrest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kraft added that some PTSD patients engage in thrill-seeking behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Based on this Marine’s history, which is free of any behavior even remotely similar to the night of his arrest, it is likely that he may have become one of those patients,” Kraft concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His family strongly defended Damigo during the court hearing, and his story was featured on the HBO documentary, \u003ca href=\"http://www.hbo.com/documentaries/wartorn-1861-2010\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“Wartorn,”\u003c/a> as part of a broader series on post-traumatic stress disorder in veterans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was like being dropped in a nightmare,” his mother, Charilyn Damigo, told HBO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2017/08/damigo.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/20170813_NathanDamigo_Credit_BertJohnson-1-1920x1280.jpg\" Title=\"Californian Who Helped Lead Charlottesville Protests Used Berkeley as a Test Run\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo’s mother and others wrote letters to the court, urging leniency and understanding from the judge. But worried that a defense centered on PTSD would fail, Damigo accepted a plea deal and was sentenced to six years in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was during that time that he started reading the words of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who remains a white supremacist leader and was at the Charlottesville event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I became disillusioned after the Iraq War with mainstream narratives,” Damigo said. “Most of [Duke’s] arguments I just couldn’t debunk, no matter how hard I tried.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>College Students Seen as the Key to a Separate White Homeland\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Damigo’s white supremacist group — Identity Evropa — is based in California but has chapters on college campuses throughout the country. The group has a high visibility on campuses from San Diego to Tuscaloosa to Charlottesville. On these campuses are fliers, banners, posters and bathroom graffiti advertising Identity Evropa videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo’s views on race and nationalism may have been shaped by the four years in prison, but in many ways they are clear echoes of older white supremacists such as Duke. In an interview with KQED, Damigo said he believes white people need their own separate country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he added that he also wants his organization to be seen as more acceptable to a broader population. For example, Damigo has banned members of Identity Evropa from having tattoos on their faces, necks or hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want to be seen as overly threatening,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo also doesn’t swear, instead using words like “gosh” or “golly” in the place of expletives. And as other racists have argued for forceful relocation or purging of minority groups from American society, Damigo avoided talking about how he would create a white-only homeland.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘Universities are institutions where the cognitive elite of the youth tend to bottleneck. … They are going to be the ones who are going to be most likely to bring about change, long-term institutional change.’\u003ccite>Nathan Damigo,\u003cbr>\nFounder of Identity Evropa\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But he doesn’t avoid conflict. Instead — as they did in Berkeley and Charlottesville — Identity Evropa and aligned white supremacist groups seem to revel in goading counterprotesters into violent clashes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo also indicated that at this stage he’s more interested in recruiting members and building a durable movement than hammering out specific policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, this is the stuff that will likely never happen in my lifetime,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To that end, Damigo said he is targeting college-educated white males as potential new members of Identity Evropa. That’s a big reason these rallies have been largely organized on college campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re not just protests. They’re recruitment drives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Universities are institutions where the cognitive elite of the youth tend to bottleneck,” Damigo said. “They are going to be the ones who are going to be most likely to bring about change, long-term institutional change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a strategy shared by Damigo’s friend, Richard Spencer, \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/richard-spencer-speech-npi/508379/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one of the most outspoken and visible members of the white supremacist movement\u003c/a>. Spencer heads the National Policy Institute, a white supremacy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For better or for worse, I am not trying to reach each and every person who goes to a Trump rally,” Spencer told KQED prior to this weekend’s violence. “There are certainly more populist versions of the alt-right. I think it’s abundantly clear that I’m going after an elite.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This approach appears to be working for Identity Evropa, which has recruited more than 500 members at colleges across the country, according to Damigo. KQED could not independently verify that claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brian Levin — a noted hate-group researcher and professor at CSU San Bernardino’s Department of Criminal Justice — said he does not believe those numbers are accurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wouldn’t believe any membership claims by Damigo,” Levin said. “Damigo is trying to not just be the opening act in the white supremacy movement. The membership of his group is far smaller.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘I looked at whether white people thought black people are lazy and unintelligent, and there was an uptick in the youngest respondents. … They’re showing a lot of prejudice, really.’\u003ccite>Jean Twenge,\u003cbr>\nSan Diego State University psychology professor, author\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>However, several prominent social scientists who have begun studying the rise of the hard right said they, too, are seeing a significant uptick of participation in racist groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those researchers is Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University who wrote the book “iGen.” She said her research shows that a minority of people younger than 24 hold racist beliefs, but there has been an increase in those numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I looked at whether white people thought black people are lazy and unintelligent, and there was an uptick in the youngest respondents,” Twenge said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re showing a lot of prejudice, really,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenge is unsure why this trend is happening. But she said anecdotally, there appears to be evidence that white nationalism is taking root among young men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley sociologist Arlie Hochschild agreed. During research for her book, “Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right,” she ran across a hardening of views among young men, specifically about blacks and Muslims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a great anger, especially with regards to groups like Black Lives Matter or American-Islamic groups,” Hochschild said. “There is a deep-rooted belief that in the past eight years, those groups have somehow cut to the front of the line, that their needs are being placed ahead of whites, especially white men.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That anger — that somehow white history and status in society is being displaced by minority groups and women — was a driving force and rallying cry among white supremacists in Charlottesville, who marched with tiki torches lit to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue. The event to celebrate confederate and white heritage was organized locally by Jason Kessler, a local white nationalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘The more these people kick and scream and whine and cry, the more publicity we get. … Publicity is a good thing. From a PR perspective we want people to talk about us.’\u003ccite>Nathan Damigo,\u003cbr>\nFounder of Identity Evropa\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>According to Richard Spencer, who spoke to KQED a few weeks before the violence and deaths in Charlottesville, Damigo and his group took the lead to organize white supremacist participation among people from outside Charlottesville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d love to take credit for it, but it was more Nathan,” Spencer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the outcome in Charlottesville is markedly different than it was in the Berkeley rally. Three people have died, including 32-year-old Heather Heyer, allegedly run over by an apparent white supremacist. Two Virginia State Police officers — Pilot Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates — died a few hours later when their patrol helicopter crashed en route to the scene of the violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo was arrested in Virginia for failing to disperse. He’s set up an online fundraiser for his legal costs related to what he describes as civil rights violations in Charlottesville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to his arrest, Damigo said he was looking forward to more campus events. He told KQED one of his plans is to set up an event at UC Berkeley with Richard Spencer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The more these people kick and scream and whine and cry, the more publicity we get,” Damigo said. “Publicity is a good thing.

And it was certainly a more extreme form, but it definitely, I think, it did make me think a bit more about race and population dynamics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The violence that began to shape Damigo’s thinking on race also killed two of his close friends in combat.

But worried that a defense centered on PTSD would fail, Damigo accepted a plea deal and was sentenced to six years in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was during that time that he started reading the words of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who remains a white supremacist leader and was at the Charlottesville event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I became disillusioned after the Iraq War with mainstream narratives,” Damigo said. “Most of [Duke’s] arguments I just couldn’t debunk, no matter how hard I tried.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>College Students Seen as the Key to a Separate White Homeland\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Damigo’s white supremacist group — Identity Evropa — is based in California but has chapters on college campuses throughout the country. The group has a high visibility on campuses from San Diego to Tuscaloosa to Charlottesville. On these campuses are fliers, banners, posters and bathroom graffiti advertising Identity Evropa videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo’s views on race and nationalism may have been shaped by the four years in prison, but in many ways they are clear echoes of older white supremacists such as Duke. In an interview with KQED, Damigo said he believes white people need their own separate country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he added that he also wants his organization to be seen as more acceptable to a broader population. For example, Damigo has banned members of Identity Evropa from having tattoos on their faces, necks or hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want to be seen as overly threatening,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo also doesn’t swear, instead using words like “gosh” or “golly” in the place of expletives. And as other racists have argued for forceful relocation or purging of minority groups from American society, Damigo avoided talking about how he would create a white-only homeland.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘Universities are institutions where the cognitive elite of the youth tend to bottleneck. … They are going to be the ones who are going to be most likely to bring about change, long-term institutional change.’\u003ccite>Nathan Damigo,\u003cbr>\nFounder of Identity Evropa\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But he doesn’t avoid conflict. Instead — as they did in Berkeley and Charlottesville — Identity Evropa and aligned white supremacist groups seem to revel in goading counterprotesters into violent clashes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo also indicated that at this stage he’s more interested in recruiting members and building a durable movement than hammering out specific policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, this is the stuff that will likely never happen in my lifetime,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To that end, Damigo said he is targeting college-educated white males as potential new members of Identity Evropa. That’s a big reason these rallies have been largely organized on college campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re not just protests. They’re recruitment drives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Universities are institutions where the cognitive elite of the youth tend to bottleneck,” Damigo said. “They are going to be the ones who are going to be most likely to bring about change, long-term institutional change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a strategy shared by Damigo’s friend, Richard Spencer, \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/richard-spencer-speech-npi/508379/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one of the most outspoken and visible members of the white supremacist movement\u003c/a>. Spencer heads the National Policy Institute, a white supremacy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For better or for worse, I am not trying to reach each and every person who goes to a Trump rally,” Spencer told KQED prior to this weekend’s violence. “There are certainly more populist versions of the alt-right. I think it’s abundantly clear that I’m going after an elite.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This approach appears to be working for Identity Evropa, which has recruited more than 500 members at colleges across the country, according to Damigo. KQED could not independently verify that claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brian Levin — a noted hate-group researcher and professor at CSU San Bernardino’s Department of Criminal Justice — said he does not believe those numbers are accurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wouldn’t believe any membership claims by Damigo,” Levin said. “Damigo is trying to not just be the opening act in the white supremacy movement. The membership of his group is far smaller.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘I looked at whether white people thought black people are lazy and unintelligent, and there was an uptick in the youngest respondents. … They’re showing a lot of prejudice, really.’\u003ccite>Jean Twenge,\u003cbr>\nSan Diego State University psychology professor, author\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>However, several prominent social scientists who have begun studying the rise of the hard right said they, too, are seeing a significant uptick of participation in racist groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those researchers is Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University who wrote the book “iGen.” She said her research shows that a minority of people younger than 24 hold racist beliefs, but there has been an increase in those numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I looked at whether white people thought black people are lazy and unintelligent, and there was an uptick in the youngest respondents,” Twenge said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re showing a lot of prejudice, really,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenge is unsure why this trend is happening. But she said anecdotally, there appears to be evidence that white nationalism is taking root among young men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley sociologist Arlie Hochschild agreed. During research for her book, “Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right,” she ran across a hardening of views among young men, specifically about blacks and Muslims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a great anger, especially with regards to groups like Black Lives Matter or American-Islamic groups,” Hochschild said. “There is a deep-rooted belief that in the past eight years, those groups have somehow cut to the front of the line, that their needs are being placed ahead of whites, especially white men.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That anger — that somehow white history and status in society is being displaced by minority groups and women — was a driving force and rallying cry among white supremacists in Charlottesville, who marched with tiki torches lit to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue. The event to celebrate confederate and white heritage was organized locally by Jason Kessler, a local white nationalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘The more these people kick and scream and whine and cry, the more publicity we get. … Publicity is a good thing.

Three people have died, including 32-year-old Heather Heyer, allegedly run over by an apparent white supremacist. Two Virginia State Police officers — Pilot Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates — died a few hours later when their patrol helicopter crashed en route to the scene of the violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo was arrested in Virginia for failing to disperse. He’s set up an online fundraiser for his legal costs related to what he describes as civil rights violations in Charlottesville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to his arrest, Damigo said he was looking forward to more campus events. He told KQED one of his plans is to set up an event at UC Berkeley with Richard Spencer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The more these people kick and scream and whine and cry, the more publicity we get,” Damigo said. “Publicity is a good thing.

"content": "\u003cp>Way back at the start of the Trump presidency, the president created a stir with his first calls to leaders of U.S. allies. It was reported that he had \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/no-gday-mate-on-call-with-australian-pm-trump-badgers-and-brags/2017/02/01/88a3bfb0-e8bf-11e6-80c2-30e57e57e05d_story.html?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.e8657796c39d\">angrily cut off a call\u003c/a> with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and, in a call with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, threatened to send military personnel to Mexico to deal with “bad hombres” (the Mexican government disputed this).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, new details of the conversations have emerged, via \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/you-cannot-say-that-to-the-press-trump-urged-mexican-president-to-end-his-public-defiance-on-border-wall-transcript-reveals/2017/08/03/0c2c0a4e-7610-11e7-8f39-eeb7d3a2d304_story.html?pushid=598322434f04072800000003&tid=notifi_push_breaking-news&utm_term=.8070e31224c8\">transcripts obtained by the Washington Post\u003c/a>, and the excerpts printed by the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> show a president cajoling and heatedly arguing with the two foreign leaders. The transcripts do not stray from the initial reporting on the calls — as in January, they show a president fixated on immigration and trying to burnish his image — but they provide some new insights into the president’s pugilistic demeanor in dealing with even nations that have good relations with the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration is, for now, being reticent about the leaked transcripts. National Security Council spokesman Michael Anton told NPR that he “can’t confirm or deny the authenticity of allegedly leaked classified documents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are highlights:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Saying his border wall is the “least important” topic\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The transcripts say that Trump told Peña Nieto that the border wall is “\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/politics/australia-mexico-transcripts/?utm_term=.8e82c7ee7629\">the least important thing\u003c/a> we are talking about, but politically this might be the most important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a startling admission from a president who at rallies led his supporters in chants of “build the wall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the wall was important to his base; while it has not been popular nationally — a \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/02/24/most-americans-continue-to-oppose-u-s-border-wall-doubt-mexico-would-pay-for-it/\">February poll\u003c/a> from the Pew Research Center found that 62 percent of Americans oppose such a wall — it polled well among conservative Republicans in that poll, with 80 percent approving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Asking Peña Nieto to stop talking about the wall\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump repeatedly assured his supporters that Mexico would pay for the border wall. Peña Nieto disagreed; on Jan. 25, the Mexican president told his nation in a televised address that they “would not pay” for the wall, \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/washington/la-na-trailguide-updates-mexican-president-rejects-trump-s-1485404143-htmlstory.html\">according to the L.A. Times\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the call with Peña Nieto on Jan. 27, Trump asked him to knock it off: “If you are going to say that Mexico is not going to pay for the wall, then I do not want to meet with you guys anymore because I cannot live with that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also said that he had to push for Mexico to pay for the wall because he had promised it for so long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to have Mexico pay for the wall — I have to,” he said. “I have been talking about it for a two-year period.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other quotes reported by the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> indicate that Trump was vague about how exactly the funding of the border wall would work. He said that the funding for it “will work out in the formula somehow” and that it would “come out in the wash,” according to the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the wall itself, Peña Nieto stood firm. “My position has been and will continue to be very firm, saying that Mexico cannot pay for the wall,” he said. However, the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> also writes that he eventually relented on talking about the wall, agreeing to “stop talking about the wall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a Jan. 27 statement, the White House had acknowledged the two presidents’ clashing opinions on the topic of the wall: “With respect to payment for the border wall, both presidents recognize their clear and very public differences of positions on this issue but have agreed to work these differences out as part of a comprehensive discussion on all aspects of the bilateral relationship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Calling New Hampshire a “drug-infested den”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump bemoaned America’s drug problem to Peña Nieto, then cited it as a reason for what he believed to be his success in New Hampshire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a massive drug problem where kids are becoming addicted to drugs because the drugs are being sold for less money than candy,” he said. “I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New Hampshire is one of the epicenters of the current U.S. drug crisis. In 2015, New Hampshire had the second-highest rate of drug overdose deaths in the nation, at 34.3 per 100,000 people, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/data/statedeaths.html\">according to the CDC\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump did not win New Hampshire in the general election. Hillary Clinton did. He did, however, win it in the Republican primaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heroin does come into the U.S. across the U.S.-Mexico border; as \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/sep/13/donald-trump/trump-right-heroin-coming-through-southern-border/\">Politifact noted in September\u003c/a>, Mexico is the source for a substantial portion of the heroin entering the U.S. In 2012, 45 percent of the heroin coming into the U.S. came from Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Getting furious with Malcolm Turnbull\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, it was reported that Trump and Turnbull had argued about an Obama-era deal to accept refugees. The Obama administration \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-38837263\">had agreed to accept\u003c/a> around 1,200 refugees being held on islands near Australia, and Australia would accept refugees from Central America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump vehemently pushed against the deal, according to the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is going to kill me,” he said to Turnbull. “I am the world’s greatest person that does not want to let people into the country. And now I am agreeing to take 2,000 people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believed that the refugees could be dangerous, and even potential terrorists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I guarantee you they are bad. That is why they are in prison right now. They are not going to be wonderful people who go on to work for the local milk people,” he said. (The \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> surmised that “local milk people” may be a reference to dairy farmers.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president later added that the refugees might “become the Boston bomber in five years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the Trump administration has seemed to be sticking with the deal. In April, during a visit to Australia, Vice President Mike Pence said that the administration — albeit unenthusiastically — would accept the refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“President Trump has made it clear that we’ll honor the agreement — that doesn’t mean we admire the agreement,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/04/22/mike-pence-australia-refugee-deal-237476\">he said\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Way back at the start of the Trump presidency, the president created a stir with his first calls to leaders of U.S. allies. It was reported that he had \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/no-gday-mate-on-call-with-australian-pm-trump-badgers-and-brags/2017/02/01/88a3bfb0-e8bf-11e6-80c2-30e57e57e05d_story.html?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.e8657796c39d\">angrily cut off a call\u003c/a> with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and, in a call with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, threatened to send military personnel to Mexico to deal with “bad hombres” (the Mexican government disputed this).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, new details of the conversations have emerged, via \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/you-cannot-say-that-to-the-press-trump-urged-mexican-president-to-end-his-public-defiance-on-border-wall-transcript-reveals/2017/08/03/0c2c0a4e-7610-11e7-8f39-eeb7d3a2d304_story.html?pushid=598322434f04072800000003&tid=notifi_push_breaking-news&utm_term=.8070e31224c8\">transcripts obtained by the Washington Post\u003c/a>, and the excerpts printed by the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> show a president cajoling and heatedly arguing with the two foreign leaders. The transcripts do not stray from the initial reporting on the calls — as in January, they show a president fixated on immigration and trying to burnish his image — but they provide some new insights into the president’s pugilistic demeanor in dealing with even nations that have good relations with the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration is, for now, being reticent about the leaked transcripts. National Security Council spokesman Michael Anton told NPR that he “can’t confirm or deny the authenticity of allegedly leaked classified documents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are highlights:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Saying his border wall is the “least important” topic\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Peña Nieto disagreed; on Jan. 25, the Mexican president told his nation in a televised address that they “would not pay” for the wall, \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/washington/la-na-trailguide-updates-mexican-president-rejects-trump-s-1485404143-htmlstory.html\">according to the L.A. Times\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the call with Peña Nieto on Jan. 27, Trump asked him to knock it off: “If you are going to say that Mexico is not going to pay for the wall, then I do not want to meet with you guys anymore because I cannot live with that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also said that he had to push for Mexico to pay for the wall because he had promised it for so long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to have Mexico pay for the wall — I have to,” he said. “I have been talking about it for a two-year period.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other quotes reported by the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> indicate that Trump was vague about how exactly the funding of the border wall would work. He said that the funding for it “will work out in the formula somehow” and that it would “come out in the wash,” according to the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the wall itself, Peña Nieto stood firm. “My position has been and will continue to be very firm, saying that Mexico cannot pay for the wall,” he said. However, the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> also writes that he eventually relented on talking about the wall, agreeing to “stop talking about the wall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a Jan. 27 statement, the White House had acknowledged the two presidents’ clashing opinions on the topic of the wall: “With respect to payment for the border wall, both presidents recognize their clear and very public differences of positions on this issue but have agreed to work these differences out as part of a comprehensive discussion on all aspects of the bilateral relationship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Calling New Hampshire a “drug-infested den”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump bemoaned America’s drug problem to Peña Nieto, then cited it as a reason for what he believed to be his success in New Hampshire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a massive drug problem where kids are becoming addicted to drugs because the drugs are being sold for less money than candy,” he said. “I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New Hampshire is one of the epicenters of the current U.S. drug crisis. In 2015, New Hampshire had the second-highest rate of drug overdose deaths in the nation, at 34.3 per 100,000 people, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/data/statedeaths.html\">according to the CDC\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump did not win New Hampshire in the general election. Hillary Clinton did. He did, however, win it in the Republican primaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heroin does come into the U.S. across the U.S.-Mexico border; as \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/sep/13/donald-trump/trump-right-heroin-coming-through-southern-border/\">Politifact noted in September\u003c/a>, Mexico is the source for a substantial portion of the heroin entering the U.S. In 2012, 45 percent of the heroin coming into the U.S. came from Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Getting furious with Malcolm Turnbull\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, it was reported that Trump and Turnbull had argued about an Obama-era deal to accept refugees. The Obama administration \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-38837263\">had agreed to accept\u003c/a> around 1,200 refugees being held on islands near Australia, and Australia would accept refugees from Central America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump vehemently pushed against the deal, according to the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is going to kill me,” he said to Turnbull. “I am the world’s greatest person that does not want to let people into the country. And now I am agreeing to take 2,000 people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believed that the refugees could be dangerous, and even potential terrorists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I guarantee you they are bad. That is why they are in prison right now. They are not going to be wonderful people who go on to work for the local milk people,” he said. (The \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> surmised that “local milk people” may be a reference to dairy farmers.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president later added that the refugees might “become the Boston bomber in five years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the Trump administration has seemed to be sticking with the deal. In April, during a visit to Australia, Vice President Mike Pence said that the administration — albeit unenthusiastically — would accept the refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
