That has been debunked so many times.
Goodness you need to stop watching The View.

There's friggin video of him saying it.

Ok, so I got the word "good" wrong. It was "Fine".

Here he says it at the 1:10 mark:



And no, as much as he tried to justify it, there were not very fine people on both sides. The damn racists on one side are not very fine in any way.

Trump defends 2017 'very fine people' comments, calls Robert E. Lee 'a great general'

Now how was this debunked? Twisting it to try and make people believe he wasn't supporting white supremacist racist doesn't equal debunking.

I've never once watched the view.

You might want to take your own advise and stay off fox news, 4chan, one America and all of the other propaganda networks.

That isn't true, unless you just mean absolute numbers, in which case it is meaningless (record numbers typically vote for every candidate in every election because of population growth). Assuming you mean percentages, that is just flat wrong.

The final count he only beat Harris by 2.5 million, not the mandate or the epic victory the right is proclaiming.

If it were not for the broken electoral college system, he would not have beat Hillary who had 2.8 million more votes than trump. So, Hillary's popular vote must have been epic, since she had a greater delta in votes than trump over Harris.

If not for our broken system, we would have not had to experience trump or GWB (whom I actually voted for). I know, I know...

I wish I could say any of this about myself. I stay as disconnected from it all as I possibly can, but it does impact my general joy, optimism, hope, and intrinsic belief in people in profound ways. I spend 24 hours a day saddened by it. I hate that about myself, but it's the truth.

Serious question. Given how you feel, why do you spend so much time on this board? I get you likely have a sense of camaraderie with people here but it is also a place that exposes you to a level of negativity that affects your emotional well being. You all have trump hatred in common and you can discuss how bad he is / the country will be / how evil his supporters are, etc., but all of that just generates negativity in your brain. If you spend 24 hrs a day saddened by politics then take a break from politics. It isn't like it won't be there next week or month.

Just listened to it and you are clearly looking for any excuse to find what you need to justify your hate. He clearly condemned the neo nazis and pointy hat wearing people. His "fine" description was clearly meant for those who disagreed with the statue removal culture war

I was going to type this exact response but he obviously knows it because it's been debunked many times but Joy Behr continues telling him this every chance she gets.
 
Hate doesn't need justification. It is a Kantian thing in itself. Maga is proof of that...
 
It's not that I don't give a crap; I think, however, that this is a train that's rolling and just going to have to go wherever it goes.

I will watch it as one does a reality TV show, which is what it is. The ultimate one. Easy for me to say, as a white, heterosexual man who can pretend to be whatever is preferred. Additionally, no one will learn their "lesson" from this, so let it be as it may.

But I'll say this in closing: those folks thinking how they, their fathers, or their grandfathers could just walk into a factory with a high school diploma and have a nice, middle class-living with affordable home, cars, etc. That ain't coming 'round no more, minus a few exceptions. It's called "capitalism." And I thought we all loved capitalism.

So, let's all love it together.

Plains, Trains, and Automobiles on my TV right now. Getting ready to make my Ambrosia bundt cake. Will switch over to UNC basketball soon.

Just watch the coming years as a show. Not much else can be done.

They do all love capitalism, well, until they need help.

If they settled for the same performance from cars, houses, TVs, appliances and such and used the same electronics without phones and computers as then, their lives would be a lot more affordable. Cut back on the gourmet foods ,exotic wines and liquors, air travel and vacations that the middle class didn't have at the time and you could come close to living in that style or better.

You wouldn't like it. Could I point out the a lot of increased costs of living since that are not inflation but what people are buying for the "same " purposes.
