Donald Trump's press conference from Tuesday has stirred people over the world and led a storm on Twitter, reported The Independent.
When asked about the events in Charlottesville, Virginia, he embarked on a 'rant' attacking "all sides" of the protest, and deflected criticism that he took too long to condemn the white supremacists.
"I didn't wait long. I didn’t wait long. I didn’t wait long. I wanted to make sure, unlike most politicians, that what I said was correct, not make a quick statement. The statement I made on Saturday, the first statement, was a fine statement, but you don't make statements that direct unless you know the fact," he said.
"And it takes a little while to get the facts. You still don't know the facts. And it is a very, very important process to me. It is a very important statement. So I don't want to go quickly and just make a statement for the sake of making a political statement. I want to know the facts," he added in the press conference.
Amidst the discussion, he managed to squeeze in a sentence about the house he owns in Charlotesville, "Did you know I own a house? It’s in Charlottesville, oh boy. It’s in Charlottesville, you’ll see."
"It’s a, it’s a, it is the winery. I mean, I know a lot about Charlottesville. Charlottesville is a great place that's been very badly hurt over the last couple of days. I own – I own actually one of the largest wineries in the United States. It’s in Charlottesville."
