Trump Complains That Media Blames Him For Bomb Scares But Didn’t Blame Obama For Charleston Church Massacre

by Ken Meyer | Oct 29th, 2018, 11:03 pm

In the mind of President Donald Trump, it doesn’t compute why some people are blaming him for last week’s bomb scares while his predecessor was never blamed for the white supremacist who gunned down churchgoers in South Carolina.

Fox News’s Laura Ingraham interviewed the president on Monday night, and during the conversation, Trump refused to take any blame for the “insane” supporter of his who was arrested this past Friday for allegedly sending IEDs to the media and to the president’s critics. Instead, Trump invoked the justification his administration has relied on lately about how Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was never blamed personally for the 2017 Congressional Baseball Shooting — which was carried out by a Sanders supporter.

From there, Trump complained that former president Barack Obama was never held responsible for the 2015 Charleston Church Shooting.

“I was in the headline of the Washington Post, my name associated with this crazy bomber. Trump bomber or something. But I was in the headline… when they got him. They didn’t say ‘bomber found’ they talked about Trump in the headline. Now they didn’t do that with Bernie Sanders when he had – they didn’t do that with the Democrats when other people came at – they didn’t do that with President Obama with the church, the horrible situation with the church – they didn’t do that. They put my name in the headlines. When I say “enemy of the people” I’m talking about the fake news and it is fake.”

The poor, forgotten American who shot all those people would never have been driven to such anger if Obama hadn’t been “presidenting while black,” therefore Obama is to blame.

At least I think that’s the disgusting logic Trump is deploying here.

Trump is totally incapable of logical thought. According to his warped mind Obama is the cause for all the immoral actions that the Republicans have been forced to oppose. For example, the Republicans are being forced to repeal Obamacare because the are forced to disagree with anything that the Democrats propose regardless of the harm and suffering that it will cause.

It is synonymous with excuse, "The devil made me do it."

Trump is never responsible for any of his actions. He is always the victim. As his biographer concluded after days interviewing him, he concluded that Trump is one of those rare misanthropes that is absolutely without a conscience. A amoral person that has no moral compass. That even in his childhood he is has exhibited an evil nature as exemplified by the testimony of his neighbors. When he was a young boy he stoned their baby while the child was in his playpen in the backyard. Fortunately the child wasn't seriously hurt. They avoided the Trumps because the feared them.

As a child in school he would never admit that he was wrong regardless of the proof and would cross his arms and refuse to listen to reason. He hasn't changed. He is the monstrosity that he always has been. It isn't a mystery why he appeals to the radicals. He is of the same mind set. The racists believe that all people who are not white are inherently evil. That all the Jews are evil unscrupulous deceivers who are bent on world control. That all Democrats are immoral and unpatriotic. No argument will ever convinced them otherwise.

They are his kind of people.


I will leave with this thought. John Adams said "....there has never been a democracy that has yet not committed suicide."

will Trump's threats against the media, against the media's criticism of him, even when warranted, cause them to back off?

CNN and MSNBC are still corporate media organizations but will Trump's threats morph them into Fox? Many reporters from CNN and MSNBC have been called out by name. Put yourselves in their shoes, it has to be a scary situation. Phil Mudd from CNN was called out by the pipe bomber, I saw how emotional that made him, how fearful he became about his family.

Will reporters start asking soft ball questions for fear of getting a pipe bomb or getting shot?

Hey Trump cultists, get out your Constitution, the free press is protected by our founders in the Constitution for reasons to check authoritarian/Nazi presidents like Trump.

What they really mean is that White Privilege was not quite as automatically honored as it was before his terms.

making repeated calls for other people to commit violence on others at his rallies just like Trump.

Note: Yes, I am being sarcastic and its clear Trumps statement is aimed at the Repugnant base to try and shift their focus from all the rhetoric that Trump has spewed calling for violence and given how gullible the Repugnant base is it will probably work.

It's hard to tell if he's mentally ill or if he's an amoral reprobate. I guess it doesn't matter, anyway. We've got a real monster on our hands. It's like having Charles Manson in the White House.

Dylan Roof was a true RWNJ. What’s Obama supposed to take blame for? Being hated for being black?

A similar analogy would be if some mentally disturbed LEFT wing antifa associated type would go to a tRump rally and start shooting. Then, by tRumps logic, HE should take responsibility for that, since it’s tRimps actions which are angering so many. Pure lunacy!

Blames black president for being black and president - which upset the racists.

So, by Trump's thinking, people of color are responsible for the actions of a racist because the poor little racist wouldn't be upset if people of color would just go away...or into hiding...or not be President.

Making Obama responsible for Roof simply by being born black and then having the nerve to be elected president. (by Trump's thinking)

But Trump is not guilty even though he constantly spouts racism and bigotry, as well as encouraging his followers to be violent.

Typical racist thinking. It's the black man's fault that a racist is a racist.

Sick fuck.
