President Donald Trump defended on Tuesday his decision to wait multiple days to condemn white-nationalist and neo-Nazi groups involved in violent clashes in Virginia, telling reporters, "before I make a statement, I like to know the facts."

The following five moments show that when it comes to commenting on tragedy, Trump doesn't always wait for the evidence.
