Trump, Vile and Evil?

I am sitting here waiting to hear the official US take of the bombs sent to people Trump has basically called enemies.

What will Trump say about the vile and evil terroristic efforts against former presidents and American citizens and news operations?

So far, all he had said officially was a retweet of his VP's, adding his own very heart-felt and inspiring message: I agree wholeheartedly.

Wait--nothing yet...

Oh, here's MELANIA, instead. She praises her husband. She talks about her "Be Best" program (which ironically supposedly calls out bullies--unless she's married to them).

Then comes her husband.

He makes a joke about his wife that English is just one of her many languages.

He does not mention ANY of the persons targeted--including former presidents, for goodness sake. He does NOT take any responsibility for the violence he's condoned before in his comments or at his rallies. . He does not mention his proclamations that the media (including one of the targets, CNN) are enemies of the people.  He DOES NOT mention the word terrorism (that I heard).

Instead he says political violence has no place in the US. He says he is (and this is a DIRECT quote), that he is "angry, upset, unhappy" at the events that transpired and it will be investigated.

Um, then he's done. About three minutes of comfort and direction for a confused and terrorized nation.

Then it's on to opioids.

Trump does NOT say to his followers, "DON'T DO THIS!" He does NOT say that his media/enemies of the people comments are hyperbole. He does NOT say it abhors him.

Instead, it's just another dog whistle, more red meat for his crazed followers (many of whom already claim Dems did it to make the GOP look bad--like the immigrant caravan, or the Puerto Rico hurricane death tolls).

It's another call to those vile and evil Charlottesville faithful--the ones that marched to promote white supremacy (good people on both sides).

It's a call to the vile and  evil racism inherent in Trump's comments decrying African-Americans peacefully protesting in the NFL.

It's Trump's self-proclamation that he's a "nationalist," when he seems to know, but then thoroughly denies he's aware of that word's vile and evil connotations (despite EVERYONE in the country knowing those vile and evil connotations).

That's because he's a vile and evil man.

I mean, I'd really like to know, what other explanation is there?


NOTE: From the earlier post, I removed the descriptor of Trump's followers as "vile and evil." That would be unfair to many. I merely used it to highlight those that really are crazed (such as those that subscribe to the divisiveness of certain internet sites and beliefs).
