Trump slammed for muted response to violence
Some Republicans say his reaction to Charlottesville is insufficient
Bridgewater, New Jersey
US 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 nationalists, neo-Nazis and alt-right activists, some of whom are his supporters.
After days of genially bombastic interactions with the news media on North Korea and the shortcomings of congressional Republicans, Mr Trump on Saturday condemned the bloody protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, in what critics in both parties saw as muted, equivocal terms.
