(CNN) - Donald Trump just showed why even some Republicans question whether he has the temperament and the capacity to serve as President.
In an incredible performance at a raucous Arizona rally Tuesday, Trump rewrote the history of his response to violence in Charlottesville and reignited the culture wars.
Trump in effect identified himself as the main victim of the furor over the violence in Virginia, berating media coverage for a political crisis that refuses to abate over his rhetoric on race.
"They're trying to take away our culture. They're trying to take away our history," Trump said, blaming "weak, weak people" for allowing the removal of statues commemorating the Confederacy.

Trump on the rampage in Arizona - They sound like this is a bad thing
When the antics of Brett Summers and Charles Nelson Reilly are more appealing than your “news” programming, you’re doing something wrong.
Schadenfreude
a few bits and pieces. funny how the FakeNewsMSM were embedded with the protesters in many pics and, seemingly, in opposition to the police. Martosko makes a fair point here:
Twitter: David Martosko, Daily Mail:
Not many protesters remaining as we leave, despite reports of tear gas elsewhere. This group is yelling discredited “Hands up don’t shoot.”

18 Aug: Arizona Republic: How to attend (or protest at) President Trump’s Phoenix rally Tuesday
by Kaila White
Many protesters have registered for tickets but plan on not showing up in hopes of leaving President Trump talking to an empty room. This will not work, as seating is first-come, first-served, and there will be a mass of supporters waiting to get in.
the President did ask the Fire Marshall to try to let more in who were still outside when he began talking.
I’m still not seeing a problem with what Trump said there. Nice try, though, CNN.
The media was telling us the anti Trumps were going to be inside the rally with tickets they got. I thought the rally went very smoothly. I wonder how they weeded them out.
The issue is not how many times the President is FORCED to condemn something he opposes anyway and already condemned.
The main issue here is to keep the pressure up on the President, no matter what he says, doesn’t say, does or does not do.
In the eyes of the Left and MSM, he is GUILTY as charged, just fill in your charge sheet and scream about it in all directions.
IT MATTERS NOT WHAT THE ISSUE IS they key is to drive him out of office.
No, they don’t have a few screws loose. They are just evil. But they are counting on shaping the opinions of those numbskulls who are not mentally balanced.
Well said.
Pray for our brave president.

Trumpzilla!
Heh heh heh....
19,000+ Trump supporters showed up.
Approximately 500 protesters showed up.
Let that sink in.
F*CK CNN stop posting Thier links stop clicking their stories stop feeding the beast. I don’t watch them don’t care what they say and I refuse to give them a platform to spread their bullshit, I wish others would do the same.
To CNN ,,,, The Trump base is solid and growing we will not be discouraged by fake news . On the other hand CNN is losing viewers hand over fist .
We knew it was going to be rough but we had no idea that 50% of the American people would produce one giant rejectionist blast of Left-wing vomit.
One would think that hundreds of thousands of people have been infected by a combination of Rabies and Syphilis...
It is obvious that CNN is getting shrill and hysterical, probably because some of the MSM soon will have to admit that there is a tsunami of good economic news on the way: stock market, more jobs, fewer food stamps, world leadership successes, etc.
Maybe CNN will self destruct as they internalize all the hate and chaos they are producing. All of that energy has to go somewhere.
Good talk by Trump. But we need to see recuser Sessions walking what Trump talks.
Trumps truth detector is buzzing
CNN killed Kenny. :-)
