President Trump is stuck with the presidential dilemma of his own making. I did not support the now President Trump in the general election. He had shown no sign of being a good president and many signs of being a bad president but after his election promised to be be a President for all Americans. Unfortunately nearly everything he has done since then has indicated he is only interested in pleasing his base and, of course, protecting himself and maybe his family.

So the presidential dilemma is how should he acknowledge the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, this weekend.

If he calls it domestic terrorism and denounces the various white supremacist groups marching in Charlottesville this weekend, he may lose part of his base. I’m not sure how large a part white supremacist groups are but they are definitely a part. He might pick up some support from more moderate citizens not turned off by his behavior in general.

But the President’s dilemma is deciding how large is the group he picks up verses the support he may lose. Is there a way to please both groups? I can’t see it but President Trump has proved me wrong before.
