To the editor: I do not compliment President Trump or have any sense that he has now done the right thing by reading words on a teleprompter denouncing the hate groups that descended on Charlottesville, Va., this weekend. In the second go-around Monday, when he explicitly condemned the hate groups, he was not apparently speaking his own words or thoughts. There was no emotion or passion in his voice as he stoically read off the teleprompter.
