You might want to read what posted a bit more closely, as well as what is in your link.

Here’s what snopes says:

In a news conference after the rally protesting the planned removal of a Confederate statue, Trump did say there were "very fine people on both sides," referring to the protesters and the counterprotesters.

In fairness, he said this at the same time.

He said in the same statement he wasn't talking about neo-Nazis and white nationalists, who he said should be "condemned totally."<\i>

So he said exactly what I claimed he said.

In reality, one side was neo-nazis and white supremacists. So why say there were fine people on both sides in the first place? My opinion is that he just says what he thinks people want to hear. He’s morally adrift, with no actual morals at all.

So he will say something nice about anyone and everyone, just to garner favor with them.

In this case, he called white supremacists both “fine people” and something to be condemned. So which is it? You can argue both sides from a single statement - as we are doing here.

*That* is why I say he is morally adrift, and will do or say anything at any time about anyone.
