Oh yes he is. Wake up.

Were you outraged when a police precinct was taken over? When federal buildings were attacked? When city blocks were named a "new city" and occupied/taken over? Gimme a break.

Yeah, that didn't sit well with me.

If Obama, Clinton, or any president had incited that, I'd be all for removing him from office.

If you are still confused, turn on the TV or just browse the Internet.

You can't because he never did, pure and simple.

Suit yourself.

It's pointless debating someone with head in the sand.


Again, if you had said: Trump didn't mean to cause this much damage. That'd have been within the realm of possibility.

But you said he is just completely and utterly innocent. LOL. The head has to be so deep in the sand, the entire body is buried.

Did you miss the part where a uniformed officer escorts them in?

People can be influenced by another, but ultimately the decisions people make are their own. If you are not making decisions for yourself, what are you, subhuman? A robot? Any decision that a human being makes is theirs alone. That's how it works.

An example: https://apnews.com/article/62e885dca...0e88c39f981eb2

In any case, the POTUS has enormous influence--and when he uses that influence to inflame, incite, and persecute, the unhinged among his followers will see it as their "patriotic" duty to follow through. And Trump understands this very well. Are such followers "subhuman" or "robots"? No, but they are fearful and/or often hateful people who are extremely susceptible to control by a powerful other who inflames that fear and hate. Human psychology is not quite as simple as you make it out to be.
