Donald Trump has been widely condemned for his comments on Charlottesville. Many have argued that he was failing to make appropriate moral distinctions between the Nazis and the counter-protestors.
While such criticisms have themselves been subject to pushback, his words remain highly controversial at best.
Here are a few satire stories, both from Glossy News and elsewhere, which are playing on Trump’s contentious framing of the recent tragic events.
First, we’ll start with a couple of fandom jokes.
