What is the speaker's opinion on Trump's handling of the white supremacist issue and how does it reflect on his character?
Trump is not an "excuse" for an action. He is a target of the action. His inability to deal with white supremacists and Neo-Nazis has sharpened the focus on his racism. Those players are not cowards but their president is. After all, Trump spent years trying to prove Obama wasn't born in the USA - a despicable little man in every way.
