(15,646 posts)4. Trump is hiding behind a facade by asserting
he has no responsibility for and did not incite or approve this terrorist bomber. He did approve and incite it regardless of what he says. He wants his opposition to fear him and will stir up his most rabid base to orchestrate that purposefully and intentionally.

The party of assault rifles and "lock her up" chants, and "punch 'em out" and getting KKK and neo-Nazi support - that party is responsible.

Let's hope they're all as incompetent as this MAGA Bomber.

The truth is that the Trump base ..through Trump... caused this.
If the other 65 percent are tired of all this, and we see the truth, and get out and vote, the base will shrink some more. It is likely to get down to 30 or 28 percent.
