Trump blames mass shootings on mental illness, immigrants, videogames; anything but guns:
shooter was not an immigrant. The Sandy Hook shooter was not an immigrant. They were not Muslim. They were not ISIS. They were homegrown, white, domestic terrorists empowered by the Trump administration’s peddling and/or hand-waving of white nationalism in America.
If you’re thinking to yourself that the “sinister ideologies” the President is referring to are literally his own, you’d be correct. His “condemnation” is always followed by inaction, so it doesn’t matter. “Thoughts and prayers” do not matter. Since his election , Trump has empowered white nationalists,and violence, and dodged any wrongdoing in the process using classic gaslighting tactics and good old-fashioned narcissism.
