    It might have to do with the fact his legal options didn’t run out until reciently? Keep campaigning for Trump.

      Yeah, and maybe his complaint was dismissed 6 years ago.

        And yet we’re supposed to believe that nearly two years after Trump was elected, that he decided to shoot up a newspaper, that he had a personal grudge with for years, because apparently Trump said so. Okay there, keep that 2020 Trump re-election campaign going.

          If that is your best attempt at an answer I feel I have a rather strong case.

              "Same to you with knobs on". Am I capturing the right tone here...you know, childish?

              Trump has been wittering on in his articulate way (just kidding) about the "fake media" and the "enemy of the people" since before the election. And he's been echoed in this by his publicity machine at Fox and Breitbart et al, This is bound to have an effect on a disturbed individual with a grudge against a local paper as per the shooter of the staff at the Capital Gazette. It was a “targeted attack”, according to the police and Trump must bear some responsibility for it. When you stir up hate, as he has done, it will have an effect.

                You don't have to "capture" it, Tass -- just let it flow.

                Yet, the only people who seem to be trying to tie this shooter to Trump are the extreme left nutters. Even the MSM doesn't try to make that case.
                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  Many did at first but quickly backed down (well, at least most of them).
