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.

"It's Trump's fault" is an oversimplification and of course you've got supporters in here going "Show me where he ordered El Paso." Trump's rhetoric inspired El Paso and other shootings, but so did Breitbart, Alex Jones, online spaces like 8chan and /r/the_donald, family and friends and even people like users on here who all feed into white supremacist politics.

Trump legitimizes and creates a face and inspiration for these politics, but they won't go away if he suddenly resigned. They existed and were growing before him, he just stoked them fires.
