Was it a large invisible bomb that was dropped into the lap of Donald Trump?
After all, a huge part of his election strategy was to portray the Democrats as a violent "mob". Well, if this was one of his cult followers that sent the pipe bombs, then he can pretty well scratch that strategy, I would think?
Because it would show exactly which Party owns the "mobs" and the violence. It is very difficult to equate interrupting a Senator's dinner date with an actual pipe bomb sent to your political opponents.
Worse still, even though he may say he is "angry and unhappy", he cannot escape responsibility for his violent language.
We don't yet know for a fact that the bombs were the work of a Trumpster, but if they were, this could be an October Surprise.

(8,924 posts)from caravans and lies about made up tax cuts for the middle class. Its going to make it awkward for him to go to his remaining rallies and blow off lies about any of the people who have been attacked with these bombs. He needs hate and lies, thrives on it, so yeah, this is probably derailing his strategy.

(1,752 posts)keep hoping that finally that the more reasonable non-cultist rightwingers (are there any?) will wake up and say enough of this craziness .... but it just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
Quite possibly someone, or many different someones are intentionally driving wedges - creating chaos/confusion. Which btw happens to be tried and true methodology for facist dictatorships the world over - not to mention the sophisticated soviet style operations of recent years in Europe and elsewhere bent on destabilizing and weakening democracies. Keep everyone so confused that no knows whats going on. As a kid, I always wondered how hitler could get away with mass exterminations - like why wouldn't anyone stop him. Now its all too easy to imagine how it happened.

Mr.Bill
(24,303 posts)Every single person on every single conservative website I have read today is saying Democrats sent the bombs to themselves so they could blame Trump. He'll say that at his rally and the cheer will be deafening.

(15,124 posts)That's all he ever does. He will NEVER accept responsibility for anything. Not even the stupidest errors in one of his imbecilic tweets.
His twisted little mind, after 72 years of practice, knows how to deflect everything he doesn't like. He is going to create an entire new field of study for psychologists and psychiatrists.
