Trump Calls on the Media to Set 'Civil Tone' and Stop 'Endless Hostility' at Rally After Bomb Scares [View all]

“Those engaged in the political arena must stop treating political opponents as being morally defective. You have to do that.

This is how Trump opened his Wisconsin rally this evening.
Hes just blaming the media and his political critics -- those who with good reason are using the "language of moral condemnation" in response to his outrageous statements and policies, and comparing him to political villains when his words and actions warrant those comparisons.
He's saying Democrats and the media are responsible for the bomb threats against them because they criticize him and don't fawn over him.
The SOB just patted the MAGAbomber(s) on the back.
