Do u believe Donald Trump is to blame for the recent shootings in the US ? 🤔

As it stands today. It appears that Trump has emboldened these White Nationalists to commit these acts of terror. The recent events in our world today says everything. You saw the shootings in Texas and Ohio. White Nationalism, or nationalism from any ethnic group or race is the problem here. If we do not call it for what it is this tragedy will never end. Something needs to be done. But these racist comments from Trump must end. What do you think. 😐

I believe the only one to 'blame' is the shooter himself, regardless of who has said what, and when, and to whom. Mass shootings have happened for years and years, one of the largest in recent years was during Obama's term in 2012 (Aurora Theater), with nearly 70 injuries. I agree something does need to be done, but the blame and name calling game is not it.

@skmokisses We have seen a sharp spike in hate crimes since Trump was elected. And he was the president of the worst mass shooting in history. Many of these shooters are said to be White Supremacists. Can you explain this please. 🤔

@Zonuss 🤦ohhhhhhh boy

@Zonuss I assume you are referring to Las Vegas? Yes, while it is the largest on record, I do not think that our nations president was to blame there either. The shooter in that tragedy was never linked to any hate groups, terrorist groups, or ideologies.

@skmokisses Well what about the rise in hate crimes since 2017. Its not like people just decided gee. Today Im gonna commit a hate crime because Im happy. 🤔

@Zonuss We seem to be deviating from your original question

Do u believe Donald Trump is to blame for the recent shootings in the US ?

.
to which I replied. I don't care to debate the rise in hate crimes and how that is or isn't tied to the president. Good day🤙

@skmokisses Hmmmmmmmmm. Ok. 🙂

skmokisses · 46-50, F

@Zonuss 😉 The question was not, do I believe Trump is guilty for all things wrong with this country...LOL. We'd be here for ETERNITY hashing that out, if that were the case. I can kindly agree to disagree, can you??

Zonuss · 46-50, M

@skmokisses Yes sweetie. I hear you. 😘

skmokisses · 46-50, F

@Zonuss Aww, YAY!! See all isn't totally wrong with the world 😍
