It’s noteworthy that the groups against whom crimes rose by double digits were the focus of inflammatory rhetoric by Donald Trump over the course of his presidential campaign and during the two years of his presidency. Interesting. My question: how can anyone affirm at this point that the events discussed in this thread are indeed linked to Trump? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump’s constant rhetoric and attacks on the press have emboldened people who think like him. Trump’s twitter targets have become bomb targets in this particular incidence.

Dropping two articles about the Trump administration doesn't show any credible causal relationship between trump and the bomb threats that we are discussing here.

PunkTheFunk 125,733 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Trump is obviously not directly responsible for this incident, but I'm 99.9% sure the person who did this was a Trump stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys have no clue about what happened. None of the replies before you said it was Trump's fault. But referring to "Trump's America" which may seem like a joke or a jab at his presidency but is an actual complaint. Things are completely different and scarier in his era.

sarahb 17,216 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Don't worry guys, Trump says it's the media's fault "During a rally Wednesday, President Donald Trump blamed partisanship and the media for fostering the political environment that led to suspicious packages and explosive devices being sent to public figures and organizations this week. Speaking in Mosinee, Wis., Trump called for civility in politics saying, “The media also has a responsibility to set a civil tone and to stop the endless hostility and constant negative and oftentimes false attacks and stories.”"http://time.com/5434077/donald-trump-bomb-packages-media-politics/ Do you feel him sir?
