Trump embraces 'nationalist' label, rejects blame for explosive packages sent by 'insane' suspect

Trump staunchly defended his status as a nationalist and rejected any responsibility for last week's apparent pipe bomb mailings or the deadly shooting Saturday at a synagogue, in an exclusive interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham Monday night.

Trump also suggested that GQ Magazine correspondent Julia Ioffe "must be some kind of a sick woman" after she claimed hours earlier on CNN that he had "radicalized more people than ISIS." She apologized shortly afterwards on-air, saying she had "exaggerated."

Cesar Sayoc, who allegedly sent explosive devices to CNN and several top Democrats, among others, "was insane a long time before," Trump told "The Ingraham Angle."

"You look at his medical records. He was insane for a long time," Trump added.

He went on to deny strenuously that he had any connections to anti-Semitism in the wake of Saturday's deadly shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. The president has noted that his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and daughter Ivanka are Jewish.

"I just received an award from... [Israeli Prime Minister] Bibi Netanyahu, thanking me because I moved the [U.S.] Embassy to Jerusalem, making Jerusalem the capital of Israel and I just did that -- now how many presidents said they were going to do it and they never did it?" Trump said.

Trump accused major media outlets, including The Washington Post, of hypocrisy, saying they didn't blame Bernie Sanders for the attempted assassination of several lawmakers at a Republican congressional baseball practice last year. That attack, which nearly killed House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., and wounded several others, was carried out by left-wing gunman James Hodgkinson, who had worked on Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign.

I don't know maybe because Sanders didn't use inflammatory rhetoric.

1. Didn't he make that announcement a week ago? ...

Fox is just now getting around to reporting it?

2. "You look at his medical records. He was insane for a long time," Trump added.

Hell, you could just look at his voting record and tell that!

3. Support for Israel is not support for all Jewish people.

""I just received an award from... [Israeli Prime Minister] Bibi Netanyahu, thanking me because I moved the [U.S.] Embassy to Jerusalem, making Jerusalem the capital of Israel and I just did that -- now how many presidents said they were going to do it and they never did it?" Trump said. "
