Trump added that he has always denounced white supremacists, and that any form of crime, including that perpetuated by right-wing militias, concerned him.
President Trump thas been pressed to explain his words from Tuesday night’s debate with Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden, during which moderator Chris Wallace had demanded Trump condemn “white supremacist and right-wing militia.”
“What do you want to call them? Give me a name! Give me a name! Go ahead! Who do you want me to condemn?” Trump said at the debate. When Biden jumped in with “Proud Boys,” Trump said, “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by.”
Within minutes of the debate’s end, this was interpreted by the mainstream media an others as Trump somehow refusing to disavow white nationalists.
“I don’t know who the Proud Boys are,” Trump told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House, before he flew out to Minnesota. “They have to stand down and let law enforcement do their work.”
"In late November 2018, it was reported the FBI had classified the Proud Boys as an extremist group with ties to white nationalism.[Two weeks later, an FBI official briefing Clark County, Washington law enforcement officials on the group, denied that it was their intent to classify the entire group in this manner and ascribed the mistake to a misunderstanding. During the briefing, FBI agents suggested using websites for more information, including the SPLC resource. The official said that their intent was to characterize the possible threat from certain members of the group."
So either the President of the United States is lying (no news there , he hasn't been briefed on the Proud Boys ot this self styled " True Stable Genius'" is anything but one.
Wikipedia described the Proud Boys as

For a President facing election to tell a fascist organisation to stand back and stand by.” indicates if he looses that election he will support right wing militias including "Proud Boys" to take to the strets to try and overturn the result and attempting whilst still in the White House until the January inauguration to some how remain President .
It is not foe me to tell the people of the USA how to vote ,but if they vote for this Fascist (and I am convinced he is one) , then their country will a World Pariah .
Unfortunately this will not worry Trump suppoters.
