That is not blaming Trump for the violence of the protesters. These are two distinct, though related, matters: 1) the violence of the protesters, for which they are responsible, and 2) Trump’s unwise comments (punching in the face, paying legal bills, etc.), for which he is responsible.
You see if you go into Harlem and run up and down the street screaming “I hate the N’s word” and you get the crap kicked outta you, who’s responsible?
Well, obviously the blacks that kicked your a$$....but don’t you bear some responsibility for making such ill advised comments?
You have the right to say it but is it prudent?.....is it surprising there’s a reaction.... was it not foreseeable there would be negative consequences?
