Critics slam Trump after he declines to call out Charlottesville white supremacists, some of whom are his supporters

Trump on Saturday condemned the bloody protests in Charlottesville, Va., in what critics in both parties saw as muted, equivocal terms.

U.S. President Donald Trump is rarely reluctant to express his opinion, but he is often seized by caution when addressing the violence and vitriol of white supremacists, neo-Nazis and far-right activists, some of whom are his supporters.

So Trump is currently or will be shorter a "lame duck" President? One who does almost nothing during his remaining days, months, years in office?
