President Trump urged the nation Monday to condemn bigotry and white supremacy after a pair of mass shootings and focused on combating mental illness over new gun-control measures in remarks delivered from the White House.
In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy, Trump said. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart and devours the soul.
His nationally televised comments followed a weekend of carnage in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, that left 29 people dead and scores more wounded. The shooter in El Paso appears to have posted an anti-immigrant screed on social media, and authorities are seriously considering charging him with federal hate crimes.
Trump condemned the two evil attacks and vowed to act with urgent resolve.

And WTF Twitter? Your "rules" are pretty much useless and arbitrary if Trump gets to incite violence and promote racism and others get the boot for less...
Start making the world a better place, remove Donald Trump from the internet!
(BTW, HE is more responsible than all games, movies, books and magazines COMBINED!!!)
