The number of murders by extremist individuals has dropped significantly under POTUS Donald Trump compared to the final two years Barack Obama was president, according to a new study by the Anti-Defamation League.
“In 2018, domestic extremists killed at least 50 people in the U.S., a sharp increase from the 37 extremist-related murders documented in 2017, though still lower than the totals for 2015 (70) and 2016 (72),” the ADL’s Center on Extremism reported.
That said, the 50 deaths recorded last year did mark the fourth-deadliest on record for acts of domestic extremism, the center noted.
Two major incidents in 2018 were the Parkland, Florida, high school shooting in February, resulting in the deaths of 17 students and teachers, and the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting in October, which left 11 dead.

Most importantly - terrorist attacks like San Bernardino and the Orlando Night Club massacre have ended.
Thank God and President Trump.
This is also implying the ADL isn’t a partisan group that is explicitly Anti-White and Anti-Christian that cooks the books with bogus hate crimes.
Are you forgetting Las Vegas in 2017? 58 dead, 851 injured.
They sure buried that story didn’t they.
The perp has never really been explained in any detail...
851!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????? injured!!!!????
Really?
wow.
Do you mean conservative white nationalists? Heard Shuan “talcum x”king guarantee mass shootings were 100% that the other day.
By terrorist - I meant muslim terrorism.
Sorry.
And just what kind of "domestic extremism" was the Parkland shooter influenced by? Mental illness is not an extremist ideology. Like the Vegas shooting, it wasn't an ideological attack as far as we know. Not that it matters to the victims and their loved ones.
Their narrative is not destroyed.
It will continue regardless of any evidence to the contrary, and people will believe it.
“2018 was a particularly active year for right-wing extremist murders: Every single extremist killing — from Pittsburgh to Parkland — had a link to right-wing extremism”
what was the link between the Trump hating Pittsburgh shooter and “right wing extremism”????
Parklands “link” to extremism was an altright group claiming Cruz was a member,ran with by the media, only to be denied by the police a short time later. There is still no proof of his extremism.
