Trump on White Nationalists Supporting Him: ‘It Doesn’t Concern Me Because Many People Agree with Me’

EXCERPT:

REPORTER: “Mr. President, does it concern you that many people saw that tweet as racist and that white nationalist groups are finding common cause with you on that point?”
TRUMP: “It doesn’t concern me because many people agree with me. And all I’m saying, they want to leave, they can leave. Now, it doesn’t say leave forever, it says leave if you want. But what it says, what -- and what that — John, what that says is if they’re not happy with the United States, if they’re doing nothing but criticizing us all the time, you see these people walking down criticizing the United States, we just hit the highest stock market in history. All of these incredible manufacturers that are in -- these are great business people. They employ many people and we have workers with us too. They’re having the best year they have ever had -- can I say that? Is that a correct statement?” (Cheering and Applause)
