He encouraged his support at a rally to beat up his opponents and promised to pay their legal fees.
He said nothing to condemn a posse of his supporters who ran a Biden 2020 campaign bus off the highway in Texas using threatening moves.
He discouraged security officers at his rally at the Ellipse in front of the White House on January 6, 2021, to use magnetometers to find weapons among his supporters, saying they weren't there for him. Then he encouraged those same armed supporters to storm the Capitol to prevent certification of President-elect Biden's Electoral College victory, urging them to fight like hell.
He sent out tweets and other social media communiques sending signals to his supporters to right a grievance or a slight against him with death threats or threats of other forms of violence.
And yesterday, someone shot him.
And in raising his fist and yelling for people to fight after being shot in the ear, Donald Trump proved that, even after coming close to death, he just . . . doesn't . . . get it. Which is why you will get no sympathy from me for what happened to him yesterday in Butler, Pennsylvania. Sympathy for the one person killed and the two people wounded, yes. Sympathy for Trump, no.
Trump has long been unable to offer a favored Bible verse despite having actually offered Bibles for sale. Below is mine.
