WASHINGTON President Donald Trump on Tuesday gave a freewheeling, rambling and angry press conference to reporters at Trump Tower in New York. He had planned to talk about his executive order on infrastructure, but things quickly went off the rails, with Trump becoming frustrated and taking back his delayed denunciation of the white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups who incited Saturdays violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Here are nine mind-boggling moments from the presidents remarks Tuesday.

Trump reverted to his original statement on the weekends violence, assigning blame to many sides.

Reporters asked Trump why he was slow to condemn the alt-right, or white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups, after the Charlottesville protests left one woman dead.

What about the alt-left? Trump replied.

You had a group on one side that was bad, and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent, he said. Nobody wants to say that. Ill say it right now. You had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit and they were very, very violent.

Later, Trump continued to argue that both sides were responsible.

I think there is blame on both sides. You look at both sides, he said.

Trumps response was a classic example of whataboutism . It essentially negated his remarks on Monday, in which he finally singled out the white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups directly responsible for the violence.

Trump falsely claimed that he likes to comment on a situation after receiving all of the facts.

I wanted to make sure, unlike most politicians, that what I said was correct, not make a quick statement, he said in attempting to explain why he took two days to denounce neo-Nazis. You dont make statements that direct, unless you know the facts. It takes a little while to get the facts. You still dont know the facts. It is a very, very important process to me.

Before I make a statement, I need the facts. I dont want to rush into a statement, he continued.

Fact: This is demonstrably false. Trump regularly comments on terror attacks before information about them is publicly available, politicizing attacks or using them to jump to conclusions.

The president also has a history of lying and spreading unsupported conspiracy theories

When I make a statement, I like to be correct, he said Tuesday.
