Blame Trump?

The man who sent bombs to prominent Democrats turned out to be a Trump fan.  Therefore, Trump is to blame for the bombs being sent.  The man who shot up a synagogue and killed 11 turned out to be a Trump hater.  Therefore, Trump is to blame for the massacre.  It sure looks like if something bad happens, Trump is inevitably the root problem.

Of course, by this logic, Bernie Sanders has to take responsibility for the Bernie Bro crackpot who shot Steve Scalise at the Republican baseball practice and Obama gets credit for the Black Lives Matter nut who killed several police officers in Dallas.
 
Adversarial rhetoric is not the same as incitement.  Hold the person who did the shooting or mailed the bomb responsible.
