I think we can agree that all people who go on bombing sprees are insane.
However, not all insane people go on bombing sprees.
You conflated the two concepts.
If you say a bunch of inflammatory rhetoric, identifying groups as "enemies of the people" and subsequently, a previously insane person who hadn't gone on a bombing spree chooses to do so, is it your fault? Maybe, maybe not. However, if you keep the rhetoric up, the chances increase that one of them will be your fault.
There have already been multiple actions in the US which could have been instigated by words or tweets our @sshole in Chief has said or tweeted, and he has not slowed down or stopped at all.
What does that say about him?
If he hasn't been the direct cause of any of the violence yet, by the end of 6 years odds are he'll be the direct cause of a couple. And he doesn't care. None of what has happened has caused any changes in his completely voluntary behavior. No one has asked him to be nice to his political opposition or the media. All he has to do is stop using the type of rhetoric that would identify them as necessary targets of violence for his loyalists.
If you want a real world example, look at what I say on here. No one accuses me of being nice to people here. I call people stupid, I make fun of the dumb things they say, their sad lives and the fact they use a username like tailgater.... But I never imply the need for violence. No one would take my words as an indication that some dude named tail should be blown up, no matter how insane they are. And point of fact, if I did say something which implied the need for violence, and some dude named tail was blown up, I'd be totes broken up about it for a couple minutes, and would likely change the tone of my posts, because I wouldn't want it to happen too many more times after that....

Life isn't in a vacuum, although you like to piecemeal your retorts as if it were.
The comparison was made (Obama to Trump) because it's real when you escape your vacuum.
You see the simple. the obvious. trump used words that you understand. Words like "enemy" (wipe drool from you face. blink. Continue)
Obama said the po po acted stupidly.
Innocent enough.
Unless you know that he was talking about white cops acting against a black man.
You are afraid to embrace the reality. That was a trigger for MANY. Hell, it helped create the BLM. And Obama continued similar rhetoric much to the chagrin of people trying to come together rather than be decisive.
You are literally assigning blame to Trump for an insane person sending pipe bombs in the mail. At least that's what you said and what you're trying to "prove" with your drivel-in-a-vacuum.
I'm saying that neither President is to blame for the actions of the insane.
I find it odd that you find my opinion so offensive.
But we all know WHY you feel that way.
But never fear. You're not alone.
