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. 😐

President Trump is no more responsible for the shootings in El Paso and Dayton than he is for the 2 mass shootings in Chicago early Sunday morning that the media refuses to report on. This is simply a narrative the Democratic candidates and media are pushing.
@JesseInTX Yeah ur probably right. I'm wondering though.........why was this picture on this right wing lunatics Twitter page?????

@JesseInTX Well this is not right. But then again this is old news. Im sure a lot of people feel this way even though its not good. Just saying.

Do you know how to use Google?

@Zonuss
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@JoeyFoxx Yes I do. Do you. I haven't looked into that yet. Would you like lay off please. 🙂
JesseInTX · 51-55, M
What is old news @Zonuss? That Chicago has mass shootings, according to the media definition being 3 or more shot, on an almost daily basis? Black on black, gang related shootings that the national media ignores.
JoeyFoxx · 56-60, M
I’m not going to lay off.

You want someone else to spend the time to tell you what happened when it would take less time for you to Google it yourself.

So... yeah.

@JesseInTX No. That someone wants to do that to you know who. Like I said its not the right attitude to have. But oh well you reap what you sow.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@JesseInTX Well that need to be addressed as well. But this is a problem that stems from many other issues here. It does deserve more attention. But White Nationalism is also a problem. Its a fact. 🙂
JesseInTX · 51-55, M
Uhmm no. You are the hypocrite @LvChris. You ignore that to push the narrative you want which is Trump is a racist and you hate him. If you want to be fair then you have to acknowledge all of them. So by your logic Obama is responsible for Fort Hood, Aurora, Sandy Hook and Orlando but not any of the Chicago mass shootings under his watch.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@JesseInTX Obama is not to blame for those shootings. But because he was a Black President some of these incidents were racially charged.
JesseInTX · 51-55, M
So can’t blame Obama because he’s black, but you can blame Trump because he’s white? Who’s playing the race card now @Zonuss?

@JesseInTX Obama asked congress at least a dozen times to come up some kind of plan..any kind of plan that would curb gun violence. Congress stonewalled ANYTHING Obama asked them to do--especially about gun violence. The reason the GOP balked on that issue has since been uncovered when DOJ investigations exposed the NRA for laundering Russian money and funneling it to GOP lawmakers as bribes. No GOP congressman taking bribes from the NRA wants to end anything gun related. If a president is asking for help to curb a problem........but is being blocked at every turn by the lawmakers whose job it was to come up with those plans......then anyone rational cannot blame that president for the gun violence happening while he was in office.

This president in contrast has stood in front of TV cameras and told his cult he could kill anyone on Wall Street and not lose a vote. He has encouraged his cult to beat up--hurt others---at his rallies and he would pay the fines to bail them out. He has played to the NRA and the KKK since before he took office. He condones all violence done by radical hate groups by calling them "fine people". Trump has outright stirred racial hate since the early 80's and he used racism as his key rallying point to get elected. All shootings that have had manifestos attached to them-----6 in the last 3 years----have all paid homage to Trump and his radicalism. The pic attached was on this latest moron's Twitter page. Post a similar pic from a shooter during Obama years.....if ya can--and BTW you can't find one to post....then your comparison of Trump vs Obama years in regards to hate shootings is nothing more than unsupported bs.......the hallmark of all Trump cult claims.

@LvChris Obama didn't do squat for Chicago. Are you kidding me. 🤔
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@JesseInTX I blame Obama for not putting an economic plan forth in the places that we forgotten. I do not blame Obama for any mass shootings because of the fact that him being Black is how this mess all started in the first place. He was hated then and hated now by the ones who are wanting to see people of color exported from the US. This is why these mass shooting have continued. They now feel its ok to kill all of
these niggers now because Trump will save us and is our hero.

@anythingoes477 Obama was JUST as bad as Trump on gun control and any kind of meaningful follow up on any of these horrors

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/dec/16/obama-gun-control-record-failure

When people start comparing Trump and Obama, it's laughable considering that when it comes to ACTUAL legislation and ACTUAL presidential orders, the difference between these two presidents is miniscule.

Trump is a bumbling embarrassment. Obama is an eloquent orator loved by many.

And yet their policies are disturbingly similar.

@Zonuss

@LvChris So when Trump tells folks at a rally to "knock the crap out" of protesters, that's not a call to violence?

Trump may be smarter than folks think. He strings together his message over days, weeks and months so that he always has plausible deniability. There is no one speech or one sentence that anyone can point to that shows a direct command.

However, his message is part of a larger and consistent theme that supports the notion of "us versus them". One cannot reasonably contradict this.

edited once I was corrected on the context of LvChris's comment...
JesseInTX · 51-55, M
This is the difference between you and me @LvChris...I disagreed with Obama on many things but I didn’t hate him. You hate Trump and therefore stoke the hateful rhetoric the Democrats push against him.
