2. I love Trevor, but I am not so sure I agree with him on this.

Donald Trump did not directly cause any of these shootings, but he is a catalyst. He inspires, arouses and legitimizes this kind of hatred and violence, so I believe he has a much bigger part in provoking these kinds of attacks than Trevor admits to.

Trump is a stupid, evil, horrible excuse of a human being, but we would be fools to underestimate his influence upon these people who are pre-disposed to committing these kinds of acts and are just looking for a little push from the right person.

Thanks Rhiannon!
