    Default ABC: Trump incited at least 36 instances of violence, threats, alleged assaults

    ABC News finds 36 cases invoking 'Trump' in connection with violence, threats, alleged assaults



    Oddly, they found none involving George w. Bush or Barrack Obama.


    'No Blame'? ABC News finds 36 cases invoking 'Trump' in connection with violence, threats, alleged assaults.



    President Donald Trump has repeatedly refused to accept any responsibility for inciting violence in American communities, dismissing critics who have pointed to his rhetoric as a potential source of inspiration for some citizens acting on even long-held beliefs of bigotry and hate.

    Add Donald Trump as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Donald Trump news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

    "I think my rhetoric brings people together," he said last week, four days after a 21-year-old allegedly posted an anti-immigrant screed online and then allegedly opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, killing 22 and injuring dozens of others.

    But a nationwide review conducted by ABC News has identified at least 36 criminal cases where Trump was invoked in direct connection with violent acts, threats of violence or allegations of assault.

    In nine cases, perpetrators hailed Trump in the midst or immediate aftermath of physically attacking innocent victims. In another 10 cases, perpetrators cheered or defended Trump while taunting or threatening others. And in another 10 cases, Trump and his rhetoric were cited in court to explain a defendant's violent or threatening behavior.

    Seven cases involved violent or threatening acts perpetrated in defiance of Trump, with many of them targeting Trump's allies in Congress. But the vast majority of the cases -- 29 of the 36 -- reflect someone echoing presidential rhetoric, not protesting it.

    ABC News could not find a single criminal case filed in federal or state court where an act of violence or threat was made in the name of President Barack Obama or President George W. Bush.

    The 36 cases identified by ABC News are remarkable in that a link to the president is captured in court documents and police statements, under the penalty of perjury or contempt.

    In many cases of assault or threat, charges are never filed, perpetrators are never identified or the incident is never even reported to authorities. And most criminal acts committed by Trump supporters or his detractors have nothing to do with the president. But in 36 cases, court records and police reports indicated some sort of link.

    If rhetoric is all it takes to incite violence, then leftist lunatics like you are responsible for 99.9% of all the violence in the world today, and throughout history. But since Libs don't believe in personal responsibility, you always feel the need to blame somebody else. Hence, orange man bad.

    Amazing, let me help you out there "wolvie," a Senator, a Congresswomen, a State legislator, comedian, nor actor are President of the United States. Trump is President, Presidents don't use their power and position to divide people, to personally demonize individuals, label other American citizens "traitors" "enimies," or "evil," and what makes it worse, Trump does it for political ends

    Words have consequences, especially when they come from the most powerful person in the world

    Hard to imagine an Ike, JFK, RR, or probably any other past President using the power of the Presidency to personally demonize individual American citizens or segments of American society. The most powerful person in the world can't throw around labels as "traitor," "enemies," nor "evil" irresponsibly and not expect consequences

    To incite violence is just normal for an unscrupulous and immoral sociopath, the likes of Trump.
