還因譴責新納粹勢力組織的“團結右派”集會不夠嚴厲受到了批評。
Instead he condemned “hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides.”
他只對“方方面面的仇恨、偏執和暴力”予以了譴責。
Mr. Trump later declared that the event had “some very fine people on both sides.”
后來，特朗普宣稱，“雙方都有非常優秀的人牽涉此案”。
Aides said that he was referring to nonviolent protesters defending Southern heritage,
助手們表示，特朗普指的是捍衛南方傳統的非暴力抗議人士，
and that he was angry that the news media had not paid more attention to left-wing Antifa activists who engaged in violence.
此外，新聞媒體沒有更多地關注參與暴力的左翼無政府主義活動人士也令他大為震怒。
In March, after an avowed white supremacist killed 51 people at two mosques in New Zealand,

Mr. Trump said he did not “really” see a rising threat from white nationalism.
案發后，特朗普依然表示，他并沒有“真正”看到白人民族主義威脅上升。
“It’s a small group of people,” he added.
“只有一小部分人是白人民族主義者，”他補充說。
The president has also previously declared himself a supporter of stronger gun control, only to retreat from the issue.
此前，總統還宣稱支持加強槍支管制，最終卻還是退縮了。
After a gunman killed 17 at a high school in Parkland, Fla., last year,
那是去年，佛羅里達州帕克蘭高中發生槍擊案，造成17人遇難,
Mr. Trump startled Republican lawmakers that February when on live television,
特朗普在當月的電視直播上的態度則著實令共和黨議員吃了一驚，
he appeared to embrace comprehensive gun control legislation

and blamed the White House for fueling white nationalist sentiment.
他們還指責白宮助長了白人民族主義的氣焰。
No federal agency is responsible for designating domestic terrorism organizations, as has been the case for international terrorism.
和國際恐怖主義的情形一樣，國內恐怖主義也沒有對應的聯邦機構負責界定。
Similarly, there is no criminal charge of domestic terrorism,
同樣，國內恐怖主義也沒有對應的刑事指控，
and suspects who are by definition considered domestic terrorists are charged under other laws, such as hate crime, gun and conspiracy statutes.
對根據定義可被判為國內恐怖分子的嫌疑人的指控也一律按照其他法律，如仇恨犯罪法，槍支法或共謀法進行。
According to F.B.I. statistics,
