=== Protestmarsjen i Charlottesville ===
[[Fil:Trump's Remarks on Violence in at White Supremacist Rally in Virginia.webm|miniatyr|Utklipp fra pressekonferanse i New Jersey, hvor Trump tok avstand fra «begge sider».]]
12. august 2017 ble det arrangert en protestmarsj i [[Charlottesville, Virginia]] av [[høyreekstreme]] grupper i USA. De motsatte seg fjerningen av statuen viet sørstatsgeneralen [[Robert E. Lee]]. Marsjen ble kalt ''[[Unite the Right rally]]'', og tiltrakk seg mange fraksjoner innenfor den ytterligående høyresiden, som [[alt-right]], [[nynazist]]er og [[Identitærbevegelsen]]. I løpet av marsjen kjørte et medlem av alt-right inn i en gruppe motdemonstranter, og tok livet av den anti-rasistiske aktivisten Heather Heyer. Trumps respons på opptøyene under en pressekonferanse på hans golfklubb 12. august 2017 mottok sterk kritikk, i og med at han tok avstand fra vold «på mange sider».<ref>{{kilde www

| sitat= But we're closely following the terrible events unfolding in Charlottesville, Virginia. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence, on many sides. On many sides. It's been going on for a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. This has been going on for a long, long time.

| sitat= On Tuesday, President Trump took questions from journalists after a discussion about infrastructure.<br/>Excuse me, excuse me. (inaudible) themselves (inaudible) and you have 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.

| sitat= I think there is blame on both sides. You look at both sides. I think there is blame object both on both sides. I have no doubt about it. You don't have doubt about it either. If you reported it accurately, you would say that the neo-Nazis started this thing. They showed up in Charlottesville. Excuse me. They didn't put themselves down as neo-Nazis. You had some very bad people in that group. You also had some very fine people on both sides.
