Tuesday night Ilhan Omar was speaking publicly and she was sprayed with an unknown substance by a spectator. The non leader in the White House put the most negative spin possible on the incident, blaming Omar in essence for a false flag kind of a moment. And that makes total sense. You remember Joseph Goebbels saying, “Accuse the other side of that which you yourself are doing.”
Asked by ABC’s Rachel Scott if he’d watched the video of Rep. Ilhan Omar being attacked, Trump said:
“No. I don't think about her. I think she's a fraud. I really don't think about that. She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her.” https://t.co/Qyt2MamY9N

The man was tackled to the ground and later arrested. Trump, of course, could have taken the moment and offered moral leadership, if that was something which he had inside of him and of course he does not. He basically escalated the moment by blaming the victim of staging it herself.
And make no mistake: Trump is constantly disparaging Omar and Somalis in general. The lunatic fringe hears all that and they become empowered to act out. This we saw last night.
Is there no one in Trump world who will explain this to Trump? Or have some tried and failed?
Sounds like trump is making a confession that he set up the “ASSassination” attempts on his own life.
…..wouldn’t put it past him…..gotta wonder how they talked that kid into trying it…..
