The former president was talking about imposing tariffs and other steps he’d take to bolster U.S. manufacturing.

Trump was trying to refer to the deadly 2017 violence in Charlottesville , Virginia , between white supremacists and anti-racist protesters.

He didn’t acknowledge the error, but quickly added that he was “finishing this topic. Because they’ll say, Oh, he fell into a trap”.
