Trump Tweets Spark Hatred, Death Threats Against Representative Ilhan Omar, Muslims.
Make America Hate Again:
Ilhan Omar says death threats against her have increased since Trump's Twin Towers tweet
"Washington — Rep. Ilhan Omar says she's faced increased death threats since President Trump spread around a video that purports to show her being dismissive of the 2001 terrorist attacks. "This is endangering lives," she said, accusing Mr. Trump of fomenting right-wing extremism. "It has to stop."
Her statement late Sunday followed an announcement by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that she's taken steps to ensure the safety of the Minnesota Democrat and came after the speaker's call for the president to take down the video.
Soon after Pelosi's statement, the video disappeared as a pinned tweet at the top of Mr. Trump's Twitter feed, but it wasn't deleted."

Trump Tweets Linked to Rise in Anti-Muslim Hate Crimes
"Is President Trump partly responsible for recent spikes in anti-Muslim hate crimes?
In their paper Making America Hate Again? Twitter and Hate Crime Under Trump, a team of researchers from the University of Warwick discovered a link between President Trump’s tweets on Islam and a corresponding rise in anti-Muslim hate crimes.
The researchers came to this alarming conclusion after studying FBI hate crime statistics and comparing them to Trump’s Twitter history.
...
Researchers studied the 26 year period for which the FBI has published data surrounding hate crimes against Muslim-Americans. What became immediately clear is that Trump’s time in office is a historical outlier in terms of the average number of reported hate crimes – eclipsing even the spike in anti-Muslim attacks prevalent in the post-9/11 era."
President Trump is a divider, not a uniter.
His supporters? He has his core group of haters, and those who look the other way.
Dividing America with hatred is not making us great again at all. It's making things worse.

I wonder if President Trump hopes somebody will do his dirty work.
He likes 'having things fixed.'
