If it was a Muslim or Hispanic who had been spewing hate speech and then knifed three people, killing two of them, Trump would be using it to push his travel ban or wall and hailing those guys as heroes, which they, in fact, are.
But it was an a-hole white supremacist thug. Trump can't diss his base.
The graph in that article from the OP is quiet interesting.
" I only like the ones who weren't killed " - Trump supporters
Nice juxtaposition..but....no--my point is simple...there might have been another way..either they were ill-prepared to escalate or taken by surprise. Violent people only respect violence...talking will get you killed.
I think that their hearts were in the right place..but their execution sucked...and their families are bereft of their loved ones--better to be prepared when one decides to be a 'hero'.
Now they are a symbol--but I suspect that their families would rather they be alive.
Trump would be quick to tweet if it was an illegal and would line up the victim's families for his next rally.
I have only seen him condemn illegals who were arrested for committed crimes in America or Muslim terrorist attacks in other countries where he has always been correct in his assessment. Would you provide an example of inserting himself in an ongoing investigation for an illegal criminal?
The OP is upset Trump has not said anything. But everybody knows if Trump did say anything, and I mean anything, the same poster would start a thread criticizing what ever he said.
Not a word from the White House on the Portland heroes. Not even a quickie one sentence Tweet. Trump has no words of praise or compassion as it doesn't fit his self centered agenda.

Trump couldn't possibly do enough...ohhh, Orange Cheeto said a few kind words, but didn't erect a statue?
A concealed handgun would have stopped the incident cold. But liberals thought otherwise.
