trump wants to know why no other president has been roundly blamed for a mass shooting

Typical trump bullshit. Deflect and play the victim. But his supporters fall for it every time.

Granted, trump didn't pull the trigger but he most certainly loaded the weapon. With millions of guns floating around this country we're going to have shootings but with trump egging his (mostly well-armed) supporters on we're going to have more and more with specific targets. There is a direct link between what trump says and what the killer wrote. Name one other president a mass shooter has directly quoted as inspiration. Just one. As the NZ killer listed in his manifesto - Trump is an icon for the white nationalist movement. Well, there you have it, folks.

Has any other president stoked fear and resentment as much as trump? No.

trump needs to learn cause and consequence...

No other president in recent history has spoken like a white supremacist at rallies or by tweet.
No other president has called Nazis good people.
No other president has encouraged his supporters to harm others or shoot immigrants.
No other president has used language that dehumanizes immigrants.
No president has been so openly racist and hostile towards people with black and brown skin. No other president held Klan style rallies and told 4 women of congress to go back where they came from.

Ever attended/watched a trump rally? The atmosphere pulses with anger. Anger over "illegals taking my job and my culture". Anger toward MSM. Just pure anger and ignorance. trump offers no answers, just feeds the anger because it drives his base. Thinking people are so easily able to connect his very large and obvious dots, while his racist followers are unable or unwilling to do so. trump's campaign uses psychographic data on U.S. voters allowing him to radicalize people through Facebook ads (2200 ads run this year using the word ‘invasion’). His campaign manager hired former Cambridge Analytica employees for his private company. trump's base is batshit crazy. They're the same people who accused Obama of orchestrating Sandy Hook as a false flag. They suggested he was such a socialist that he could kill innocent children for the sole purpose to come after your guns. Total whack jobs.

Obama had 32 mass shootings in 8 years. trump has had 251 THIS YEAR. Nobody is blaming trump for the number of mass shootings. They are blaming him for the mass shootings (or other acts of violence) where the motivation for the shooting mirrors his rhetoric. trump’s a racist lacking the courage to own his racism.

Obama had an assault weapon ban in place but trump let it expire with the cooperation of Moscow Mitch. The GOP has blood on their hands.

I don't know. It's almost like trump is different than all Presidents before him. Like he's illegitimate or something...

Be proud, Republicans.

I’m thinking it might have to do with this:

Trump apologist on CNN today: He never laughed! Interviewer: There’s tape. Trump apologist: You’re showing it out of context!
Interviewer: Let’s play the whole thing. (Plays tape) Trump apologist: He didn’t mean to laugh! Interviewer: 🙄

@SW-User Tragic or not, sometimes you just have to laugh.

@SW-User Basically with that type of rhetoric Trump is playing on the irrational fears of people. Invasion is a pretty strong word also, it implies all sorts of things. People do have threat responses and playing on that is pretty terrible because it just heightens already irrational phobias.

Let's not forget he also rescinded the Obama administration policy to restrict those with mental illness from legally purchasing firearms. That's why him saying that it's a mental issue (along with those damn video games and the fake news media) is a little hard to swallow.
@Ynotisay Exactly. The GOP also blocked legislation that would’ve kept people on no-fly and terrorist watchlists from easy access to assault weapons. Completely at cross-purposes to their so-called “war on terrorism”.

Why is Trump even paying attention to what people say ?
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
Yup, nobody ever got shot in Chicago before Trump became President
SatanBurger · 36-40, FVIP
@sunsporter1649 In Chicago that is more gang violence, what's going on now is white nationalist and a bunch of alt right shooters coming out of the woodwork. That's directly related to things like Trump saying "stopping the invasion" and the like. I'm pretty sure you have to know the difference.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@SatanBurger Oh well, just gang violence, nothing to worry about, move along, nothing to see here
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@sunsporter1649 Nobody is saying that either. This is simply not a conversation about that.

Btw, you’ll be happy to know that gang violence is trending down - even as mass indiscriminate shootings are trending up.

when you have to lie to demonize the man I question what is wrong with you
LegendofPeza · 56-60, M
@Jackaloftheazuresand Maybe you should question what is wrong with him instead.
Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M
@LegendofPeza I know what's wrong with him, exactly why lies about him are suspect.
