"Trump's speech has no impact"

I believe words matter a great deal, especially coming from a POTUS. But actions matter more. And I don't know what Trump has said or done, that would make anyone think that he genuinely wants people to hurt Jews. You are hearing things that he has never said, it's like Trump is the Rotweiller and you are Son Of Sam.

And since you obviously feel his speeches matter, how come you all pretend he has never condemned racism? To you, his words only matter when he says something stupid, but when he says something valuable, that is to be ignored.

I saw Trump drink a glass of water yesterday! You know who else drank water? Hitler, that's who! Therefore, Trump is Hitler!

^ That's just about where your side is.

Where did I say Trump was anti-Semitic, you always have to make it that people are victimizing your tribe.
There is an effect when Trump launches his daily diatribe about the evil whomevers that are ruining his and your world.

Robert Bowers specifically murdered Jews for supporting immigrant hordes sent to invade the country-the problem the President constantly mentions.
“I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered,” the alleged assailant wrote, moments before the murders. “Screw your optics, I’m going in.”
Trump missed his opportunity to silence his critics again by attacking.
He refuses to speak to all, only his victimized base is important.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

The President is not the only one who constantly mentions the "problem." The media does a more than adequate amount of mentioning it. Politicians, commentators of all sorts have been mentioning this "problem" for a long time. Should the "problem" not be mentioned because a Bowers might kill people? How many "problems" should not be mentioned because it might set off a nut?

“I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered,” the alleged assailant wrote, moments before the murders. “Screw your optics, I’m going in.”

He spoke a strong message about the slaughter. His critics, including you, will not be silenced. You are free to speak, even if you, and the rest of his critics, are free to continuously say things that can stir up leftist hatred which might lead to violence. Your freedom to speak your anti-Trump mind should not be curtailed.
