Got it.
I think one of the big reasons that a lot of people have looked at Trump's reaction to Charlottesville as an oddity has been because it didn't fit his style. When he attacks people and ideologies, he attacks them bluntly and quickly. He doesn't pull any punches when he is attacked, but he hasn't responded to a very public attack in this instance. His response to the racism and violence was scripted and it was delayed. In other words, his response to what happened in Charlottesville is what we see from him when he is being told he should do something he doesn't want to do. It's the difference between his Afghanistan speech and his rally in Phoenix.
When you look at it in context with the rest of his communication styling, it makes you wonder what his feelings actually are on the matter.
