"It is no surprise that this febrile atmosphere, in which any lie can be justified if it paints the president's opponents as traitors, would lead to violence."
When commenting about the synagogue shooting, Trump, predictably, stated:
"If they had protection inside the results would have been far better. If they had some kind of a protection inside the temple, maybe it would have been a much different situation."
This is what we can expect from a man identified himself as a "nationalist," encouraging former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke to tweet:
"Trump Embraces Nationalism in a Massive JamPacked 99.9 % White Venue in Houston! Zio Journalists asked him if this is White Nationalism! Of course fundamentally it is as, there is no ethnic or racial group in America more Nationalist than White Americans" So What's the Problem?"
No, Trump is not outright calling for journalists and his political opponents to be harmed and/or killed. He is not overtly calling for Muslims, African Americans, LGBTQ Americans, immigrants (mostly dark-skinned ones), or Democrats to be maimed.
But over the past several years, his stochastic terrorism has successfully incited ardent supporters to fill in the blanks.
Trump too bears responsibility for the New Zealand mosque attack.
He is fomenting domestic terrorism around the world.
And he has the world's blood on his hands.
