This is not just an 'Act Of Terror". This was an attempted ASSASSINATION of two Ex-Presidents and other high ranking and vocal Democratic politicians and media. I for one do not know how a bomb is programed to detonate. Where is the outrage from the pResident? Oh never mind, he brought the kerosene and he lit the match that started it all, then passed it to his supporters to throw.
He called them all the enemy of the people. He will continue to do so even after the first person dies.
A soulless empty man. Insane hatred drives trump and his supporters.

(45,452 posts)because then it is mental illness and thoughts and prayers because he's the real victim here. They'll cut funding for mental health treatment to remedy this problem so that future perps can get tax cuts to pay for mental health treatment.
Whatever we call this must be based on the race of the perpetrator.
