Here are a few diversionary tactics used by the mad man when summoned by the media to account for his (lack of) reaction to the Charlottesville attack, in no particular order:
resorting to the vocabulary of a 12 year old in order to simplify the issue - adopting the nazis' pretext as a genuine, valuable excuse - building up a strawman - interpreting the media's natural concern as an attack against him and his presidency - pretending access to classified information (that would validate his position against the rest of the world) - trying to turn the table - obfuscation and general diversion via stress on mere details - "(I won't answer this) but what about that..." - most egregiously, making up false equivalence between nazis and the Left - calling on not checkable "facts" and personal knowledge - oh, and plain lying.
Seriouslytho, there are times when he's straight out of a Chris Morris sketch, like when he claimed that the threat of a missile attack by North Korea would be good for tourism in Guam. ... I shit you not.
