Let's examine Trump's reaction to NYC incident and Las Vegas massacre

[DrLove]

Chris Cillizza pretty much nails it. Donald said very little about Stephen Paddock .. you know, "maybe at some point we can look at bump stocks" and of course the usual "thoughts and prayers .. SAD!" But he hasn't stopped talking about Sayfullo Saipov. Why? It's catnip for the base.

<snips>

About the Las Vegas shooter, Trump said this: "The wires were crossed pretty badly in his brain. Extremely badly in his brain. And it's a very sad event."

Of the man alleged to have committed the attack in NYC? "This animal who did the attacking."

Notice any difference between the two responses? If you don't, you may want to confirm that your spine is connected to your brain stem and/or your eyes are working properly.

The disparity in Trump's responses is striking -- and telling.

The broader point here: Trump is more than willing to seize on tragic events when they confirm his previous political and policy beliefs. He will effectively ignore them when they don't.

It's that simple.​

He seems to be operating by the Conventional Wisdom on profiles.

White male mass shooters tend to be insane.

Muslim mass murders, especially when they are caught screaming "allah akbar" are more often terrorists.



Though, imo, he is on shaky ground on both cases.

Yes, it is called confirmation bias. A disease of the brain from which many pseudocon bigots suffer.

Nothing in my post justified your race baiting response.


You are an asshole.

Let's examine Liberal's reaction to Trump's reaction to NYC incident and Las Vegas massacre:

This has become the “go to” response to any reasonable criticism of Trump’s behaviour. I guess because you’ve got nothing cogent to say about the orange faced baboon you elected, you fall back on “butt hurt”. Oh yes and a meme.

Try to think before you respond.

I'll never understand why the left cannot get this.
I'll try again.

The incident in Las Vegas that killed 58 = No identifiable, unifying ideology driving the killers actions.

The incident in New York City that killed 8 = An identifiable, unifying ideology driving the killers actions.

This is precisely why the semantics between "terror attack" and "random attack" exists and matters.

This is why what happened in New York City is much more serious and much more worrisome, and why action to lessen the chances of repeated attacks needs to be put in place as soon as possible.

Here is where you argument falls apart.

The terrorist attack in New York is the deadliest terror attack since 9/11 - 16 years ago. The shooting in Las Vegas is the deadliest gun spree attack since the Pulse Night Club shooting a little over a year ago.

There have been over 300 school shootings since Sandy Hook in 2012. That doesn’t include all of the other mass shootings like the Aurora movie theatre shooting either.

The greatest danger facing Americans isn’t foreign born Islamic terrorists. It’s American white guys with guns. Pretending otherwise is being willfully blind to the danger your own brand of home grown white terrorists represent.

Trump loves it when an Islamist kills a bunch of people, because it helps his agenda. Trump is certainly not Hitler, but I'm sure Hitler would have been just as happy when a Jew was caught embezzling or something like that (in reality or trumped-up charges).

And there are some indications he supports terrorism:
1. He cut funding to anti-terrorism programs, which help local authorities respond to terrorist acts:
Trump's budget cuts anti-terror funds that keep NYC safe: Schumer

2. He actually hired a fake Islamist who recruits people online by spreading hateful ideas, to work for the DHS. While it's not a bad thing that he's doing it to catch terrorists, he is also spreading their ideas and convincing others to become terrorists:
A Fake Jihadist Has Landed a Top Job at Homeland Security – Mother Jones — Political News

and of course, he cut funding to fight terrorism from KKK and white supremacists:
Why has Trump cut funding for one of the few groups tackling white radicalism?

Trump administration eliminates funding for group countering white nationalism

What was Pasadena all about? Wasn’t Orlando a Muslim attack in a gay nightclub?
