Mr Trump must now face the consequences of this momentous and inexcusable decision. Mr Trump’s evasions drew widespread and instant condemnation, not least from within his own party. Mr Trump not only reasserted his view that the white supremacists and their opponents in the Charlottesville clashes were morally equivalent. America has plenty of resources to show that it is a better country than Mr Trump makes it appear. They must find the right way to turn away from Mr Trump before the next election.
