Trump denounces racism

The quote isn’t “and other groups.” If you actually (gasp) take the time to listen to (or look up a transcript of) the speach you are (mis)quoting, he said “kkk, neo-nazis, and other hate groups”.

I’m not sure why you choose to reply to me since I was pointing out that he could easily be referring to anti-fa instead of BLM. But, since you did…

That’s a distinction without a difference. To his racist base BLM is a hate group. The elided headline isn’t confusing anyone here who doesn’t want to be confused, and it accurately describes the message as heard by trump’s racist base. There is literally no form of protest by black people that they could accept as not hateful because they embody white fragility.
