AGAIN: Trump condemned both sides. He called evil out! On both sides! Wouldn't a president who's didn't just "please his base" condemn both sides? I recall news stories about David Duke, citing Duke's Twitter posts, being unhappy with Trump's blanket condemnation, so that manifests white supremacists weren't "pleased" with Trump's performance. I posted both of Trump's entire press conference, and Trump repeatedly described the supremacist portion of the protestors as disgusting, a national embarrassment, and completely unacceptable in America.
Whereas Obama >>>NEVER<<< condemned Black Lives Matter, even after they were killing cops. And Obama even further gave BLM endorsement and legitimacy and invited them to the White House on multiple occasions.

Polls overwhelmingly show the public sees race relations as more damaged and wider apart because of Obama's actions as president.
