I wish there had been a yes-mostly. My reasoning is because he encourages and supports violence but he did not do it personally himself. Whoever decided to actually do it is at fault also. I may be a conspiracy theorist but for some reason I think it may have been planned through the administration itself with trump having at least some knowledge about it. They probably had someone who knows how to do that stuff but is just mostly an everyday deplorable citizen.

he may have been the catalyst for hateful fuckers to be more brazen, but it's not like he made them how they are...he has molded his persona to appeal to a certain type; you can't hold him responsible for their existence, and the hatred that has been inculcated in them through decades of propaganda.

Accountable, now...that's a different question.
