President Donald Trump on Sunday baselessly claimed “mental illness” was the cause of the fatal shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio over the weekend that led to the deaths of 29 people combined.
Yes, his.
Projection…
They have to road test excuses before the Monday news cycle begins and everyone is at work. Bang it into place and power up the mimeograph and get that reeky copy to the pertinent parties.
Nope – the failure of this presidency was caused by mental illness. This other thing was caused by being a racist.
The mental illness he’s less cognizant of by the day or the old Ivankatoinette-left-me-for-a-hebe thing?
Trump forgot to mention it is due to his mental illness that is causing his followers to perform barbaric evil acts! All 250 occurrences of them, were conducted this year alone!
Well, maybe Trump and his minions will finally accept that maybe mentally ill people should not have access to firearms, in spite of what the Second Amendment supposedly says. (But the NRA will surely defend the constitutional rights of the mentally troubled…)
It’s the Trump thing to do. Go for it.
If he can’t accept responsibility for getting his wife’s name wrong in a tweet he sure as shit is going to accept responsibility for his part in these shootings.
A mental illness called Trumpism. And yes BenedictDonald you have done more than any other administration… to incite violence.
Well, if anyone had some experience with mental illness or hate, he would. Nice projection going on there, Donald. Btw whatever happened to blaming video games? Is that so 2017 now? Will he buy the survivors KFC and Burger King as condolence? Can a person possibly be more out of touch with how normal people process tragedy and suffering? I think not.
So why are the racist Republicans trying to make treatment for mental illness harder or impossible to get for millions of Americans?
The failing USA. Going out of business sale soon.
‘Telling reporters that he’d spoken to Attorney General Bill Barr and FBI Director Chris Wray, Trump said that “hate has no place in our country and we’re going to take care of it.”’
So… Trump is saying that he’s going to stop tweeting?
Projection.
Bill Clinton chastised a marginal rapper/author with a record that was 100 something on the Billboard chart for her offensive stupid comments.
Trump can’t even lift a bone spur limb to criticize White nationalists and neo-Nazis that the FBI and most law enforcement call a threat to the nations well-being.
True to form, it took less than 36- hours, and regarding Dayton, less than 12 -hours for the mental illness canard to be trotted out. No need to regulate guns as anyone who would do such a thing must be nuts.
Try walking that argument into a courtroom and watch what happens. Thank the NRA for that one, and Mitch and the gang for perpetuating the myth.
Instigating hate and violence has nothing to do with it because only a crazy person would think Trumpers would take all the rhetoric seriously.
How about asking the guy who jumped from his truck and smacked the anti-Trump protester the other day. Is he crazy, or was he just following the mandate of our own "dear leader’?
Don’t think just because Congress is on vacation that they can’t take phone calls. Tomorrow is the day to start contacting your representatives. Pelosi is already calling for Moscow Mitch, broken shoulder and all, to call the Senate back in August now to take up the House passed gun legislation.
It’s time to show them what August heat is really about.
Hitler’s Germany. Pol Pot’s Cambodia. Stalin’s Russia, Rwanda. All caused by a handful of mentally ill. Normal people had nothing to do with it.Nosirree Bob!
Golly! If only one of the major political parties hadn’t spent the last several decades trying to take away people’s health care, including mental health treatment, while callously denying care to and dumping mental health patients on the streets in the states they control.
