Trump denies his political rhetoric may have inspired mail-bomb spree

Source: CBS News

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- As he left the White House to rally supporters in North Carolina, President Trump denied his political rhetoric may have inspired Cesar Sayoc's mail-bomb spree.

"Well I think I have been toned down, if you want to know the truth, I could really tone it up because as you know, the media's been extremely unfair to me and the Republican party," Mr. Trump said.

He also said he did not see his picture on the side of Sayoc's van. "I heard he was a person that preferred me over others but I did not see that," Mr. Trump said.

But on Twitter, the president has adopted a different tone. Around 3 a.m., Mr. Trump lashed out at CNN accusing the cable network of blaming him for the bombs, tweeting "yet when I criticize them they go wild and scream, 'it's just not Presidential!'"

Another quote that shows Tiny doesn't give a shit about inciting violence: "Republicans are doing so well in early voting, and at the polls, and now this 'Bomb' stuff happens."

They deny any responsibility for Trump’s hate and incitement in causing this and claim that they are the real victims of the fake news media. We will hear this over and over again in the coming weeks.

And will always blame and accuse others when he doesn't get his way. HE wants to demonize others to make himself look better, so that's why he has to say really , really bad things , because he's so bad that's the only way he can get anyone to support him, lie, a lot. His attacks on the free press are attacks on the truth, his biggest enemy.

The clips of his rally last night? There were an awful lot of stone faces behind him. Only a couple of silly young women laughed at his tasteless jokes. Many of the men never cracked a smile.

The stench of Trump is now overwhelming.

...tell it to the advertising industry. Apparently the industry has been wasting money for centuries attempting to convince people that they need...(fill in the blank).

I'd love to see the White House go ass to head with the advertising industry, arguing that words do not matter.

Words do seem to matter to 45 because we are told that the media is mean when it uses words to describe his current mis-administration.
